But you can scent the tobacco with a good Lapsang Souchong tea to get that rich smokiness.
Thanks for that Jaap and Snuffbox TS - how would you go about doing that?
snuffster, If you have lapsang already in the individual tea bags you can just put the tobacco you want to scent in a container that will seal good. Then put a few of the tea bags in and let sit for a few days or until the scent you want is achieved. If you have Lapsang in bulk like I do you can just put some in a paper coffee filter & tie it up & put in container with snuff or put snuff in bottom of container, lay filter over snuff then add lapsang over filter & let sit. But either way you do it, you want to agitate/stir the tobacco at least once a day to make sure all the tobacco has a chance to absorb. And if needed you can add fresh tea once a day. Tobacco is like a sponge and will absorb scents pretty good.
I just ordered some of this and am looking forward to it. WoS Grand Cairo gave me a hint of juniper/pine and this description sounds like something I might really enjoy.

@ Troutstroker, sorry you asked what Jaapās chocomint was like. I never notice until this thread was bumpt up. It is very nice and very much, in taste to a Mint Aero chocolate bar, remember the choc bar with bubbles inside, I donāt think they are available in the US any more. But not a snuff I could stick with all day. Iāll try and find a picture to jog your memory.
Thanks Snuff Head, canāt say Iāve ever had that chocolate bar. I see on wiki that it was only available in US for a short time in 80ās & available at specialty stores that imports products. If I ever had one it must not have been impressive enough to stick in the brain.
Hello Brian, It is plain Virginia tobacco naturally fermented with the addition of potash and salmiak. If you sent me a postal address Iāll sent you a sample. Kindest regards, Jaap Bes.
Unfortunately, my supplier was out of A/P and they sent the Ao 1860 as a substitute. Its very impressive so now I really want to try the A/P even more.
Wow! Iāve just tried this one and its not for the faint-hearted. I can understand why people say it has a salty taste to it and definitely a smokey aroma but i didnt really get the pine smell. Its powerful though and have a feeling its going to linger in my nose for a long time! Iām sure this one will grow on me 
Ahh, Salmiak is salty liquorice! that explains the saltā¦ (where would we be without wikipaedia?)
I loved the Pine scent with this one. For some reason it made me nose run like a crazy but I can deal with that. I wish it were a finer grind though. Too coarse for my liking.
Bryan wrote, āI have tried grinding up some pure Lakatia into snuff. It wasnāt good in my opinion. It actually tasted very bad to me- not like a nice smoky campfire like the kralingse stuff. Maybe it was the brand I tried, but it was just some pure Lakatia from the local tobacconist.ā Tobaccos like Latakia, perique, orientals are what they call condiment tobaccos. They are added in small measures to a base tobacco or blend (i.e. tobaccos like Virginia, Maryland, or Burley). An attempt at a straight condimental leaf would be pretty harsh and one dimensional. Go back and get a house Virgina blend 2oz add a teaspoon of Latakia to it, mix it, grind it, and then try it.
@Snifs, you are quite right. I made some snuff using latakia pipe tobacco and it was horrible. I blended it with some neutral snuff until it was to my taste.
I got some A/P a couple weeks ago. I tried it, and liked it, but found that the smoke nearly completely covered the pine scent. But then last weekend, I tried some after snuffing Rooster and Square all afternoon. With my nasal āsmoke detectorsā overwhelmed from the scotches, all I could smell was the pine. It was really nice. This worked well with Whiskey and Honey, also. Nothing but Honey left if your nose was previously āsmoked outā.
I should be getting some of this a/p next week and all I can say is I canāt wait to try this one. Also loved to open this previous discusion back up to hear more about it before I get my hands on it.
@ bob: donāt let it dry out and you will love it.
I love this snuff immensely. the pine scent is great and you can really pack the old beak with it. the drip at the back of the throat can be brutal though.
Iāve noticed that jaaps snuffs donāt tend to last long enough to dry out. They tend to have a chain snuffing quality to them from my experiences.
