I have been using a sample bottle of the new Abraxas Club exclusively since yesterday morning and the bottle will doubtless be empty before the weekend.
Initially, the moist course tobacco has a robust sweet and dark character of, manure, marzipan, chocolate and plum brandy. After letting the snuff air in a box for a couple of hours, the dark notes soften, to reveal the bright scent of a box of ripe honey mangoes.
I have not tried the other Abraxas variant, so cannot compare but this is going down a treat.
Thanks for your comments on the snuff Khalid:)
Thanks @Snuffster for the sample I am really enjoying it. It kind of reminds me of Doppelaroma but more chocolatey. A bit like hotel chocolat Ghana chocolate Orange.
I just got my sample of Abraxas today!
(Though I’m not sure what “Club” means, what I have here is impressive to say the least.)
First off, the sample bottle is packed so tight that I’m pretty sure that once I get it dug out and ‘fluffed’ up, I’m going to need a container twice as large to hold it.
The man sure isn’t skimpy where he sends a ‘sample’!
Disclaimer: I truly wish that I had more discerning nose to describe the different scents I’m experiencing, but I’m afraid that too many years of cigarettes and curry have ruined me as a professional taster.
Anyway, the scent coming off the top of the jar is a freshness I’ve always associated with the country: clean air full of life and just a hint of barnyard.
In the nose there’s a fruitiness that I can’t quite nail down. Almost like a fresh Honeydew melon? And maybe a hint of blackberry?
Again, I can’t say for certain. Just a very uplifting odor - not ‘heavy’ in the least.
Thanks, Snuffster: This is something truly special, and it was well worth the wait.
I’ll have to be a bit quicker when the next batch hits the shelves…
Me too
How does one get hold of a sample of this glorious followup?
@Jinder ever play Skyrim or Oblivion. Well the first step is contacting the Dark Brotherhood (on the off chance anyone believes me on this one, don’t I’am not telling the truth.)
I sent samples out to everyone who asked for one just before Christmas. Thats it for now.
The ‘club’ thing, it kind of developed in my mind as I had been thinking of a Snuffhouse SP - SHSP - and that turned into snuffhouse club, then just Abraxas Club. It veered away from being an SP because I wanted to experiment with another Abraxas type I had been mulling over for a long while in my snuff-brain and I started to construct it in my head. Then I got some ingredients and kind of bench tested it and it led to this. I have a batch waiting to sell if it seems like folks like it. It’s dedicated to Snuffhouse by the way.
@bob you have to get the white phial first, fix it, and then choose to have it filled with abraxas club.
Also to everyone that have abraxas club… you get a fist shake.
Already got the White Phial.
Can’t wait to try it. It should be here any day now this week. I like a lot of Wilson’s and f&t (I haven’t tried any I didn’t like yet) and I know snuffster’s collection includes many of these made before I was born. Not only can he make one hell of a blend, his influences include many of my favorites. Even the abraxas 2.0 (at least the properly milled parts that aren’t stalk) is like Jimi Hendrix to Wilson’s Robert Johnston. Same kind of product, both classic, but with a whole nother dimension to it.
@snuffster the way you tackled complaints head on from the get go, I think you already are.
I just got my jar in the mail! I’ll let it ride around in my nose for a couple days before I post a review. Thanks for the awesomeness!
Remind me, are you in the States?
Yup! Middle of nowhere in the Northwest to be exact.
Whats the deal with this Abraxas, is it new?
Is it new and will it be available on mrsnuff??
