There is no doubt in my mind why this is Bernard’s flagship product. This is the schmalzler by which all others must be measured. I really can’t add much to the comments below, as this snuff is well reviewed, but I write reviews for my own records. Doppelt Fermentiert means “double fermented” presumably that means it went twice to get extra flavoring. It is quite sweet and has all of the sweet flavors others have mentioned, namely maple and dried fruits. Its very rich and although course, its quite soft. It does not cause much nose-burn, but will cause moderate running. Very full bodied, strong but not smokey tobacco flavors. Schmalzlers, I find I can take in quite large quantities and I’m a bit dissapointed at the small, though convenient, 10g boxes. These boxes-not so good for English snuffs- work quite well for German schmalzlers and snuffs. Excellent. Style: traditional Bavarian Schmalzler Rating: 5/5 Moisture: moist Grind: gros First tried: August 2009
the benchmark by which all other schmalzlers are judged. Wish it came in 100g bags, but being expensive is the only downside. Smoky ham, fig, maple, chocolate cake and glorious tobacco.
