Is there a snuff out there like McChrystals O&G? I am looking for a really good menthol snuff. It doesn’t have to be exactly like it but I would like a high quality interesting menthol.
I find most other English menthol snuffs a little one dimensional compared with O&G, not a big fan of Hedges but I do like Wilsons Medicated 99. Best menthol snuff (other than O&G) for me is Bernards Jubilaums snuff, its heaven! Loads of flavour.
Gawith Hoggarth CM is the equivalent if you can get it in a bulk tub.
Snuffhead is right, CM isn’t quite the same, but it is very similar. I use both regularly
Another vote for CM. My favorite GH so far and very similar to O&G. There’s also L260 and Wilson’s Menthol Extra if you want strong menthols.
Wilsons SM500, though maybe that is a bit closer to Hedges L260 now I think about it.
I went with the SM500 and I love it.
WoS SM Blue is similar. I bought a lb of it because I was tired of paying £32.99 for 12 xl cans of O&G. I’ve been using it instead of O&G and I now find that I prefer it. Stefan
O.G. is the most overrated snuff in my opinion. Oh well.
I’m gonna have to try that SM Blue
I must say I wasnt fond of O&G myself, much preferred Wilsons no.99 and Hedges. Toque menthol is also nice.
They’ve just started selling O&G in my local supermarket here in Switzerland. It’s the only snuff they sell. I’ve always really liked O&G.
I think it is an excellent snuff but I don’t understand the way it is regarded as one of a kind. Its just another menthol snuff.
I don’t think O&G has been rated to highly. It’s just that it is so popular and rated so frequently. I give it a thumbs up.
Haven’t tried SM500 yet, but if you like menthol snuffs definitely try Hedges L260 like others have said. I like O&G allot, and after I discovered Hedges, that remained my favorite in menthol snuffs. Also a bit milder but I like Samuel Gawith Zip as well, a bit different then O&G though.
O&G is no ordinary menthol snuff. There are a lot of nuances in there, one can still smell the tobacco and there’s even a hint of citrus. In L260 and no.99 the menthol is overwhelming to a point where it actually hurts. That goes for a lot of other menthols. This snuffs can’t be used as a daily snuff whereas lots of O&G snuffers use nothing else but O&G. Myself used O&G only for many years.
I agree, O&G is special! I can go months without but then I take a pinch from a fresh tin and it’s wonderful!
I agree also, I have found that O&G is in a class of it’s own.
O&G seems to be a “love it or hate it” snuff. Personally I think there are better medicated snuffs available for less money per gram, but to those who love the stuff, more power to you.
I have to admit I used OnG almost exclusively for about 18 months till the rebound got the better of me. I switched to McChrystal’s S’nuff which I previously didn’t care for and LOVED it. It never ceases to amaze me how tastes change over time. Hence…NEVER throw away a tin of snuff. Dave
