I decided a while ago that i’d really like to try Gawith Cola flavoured snuff. When I first heard of it I thought ‘that sounds pretty gross’ but eventually decided to try it but found that since I live in the UK I could not get hold of it. None of the sites I looked at stocked any and I even emailed one of the sites asking why they didn’t stock it. I received a reply saying that Poshcl didn’t think it would sell very much in the UK so didn’t bother selling it to us. I was preparing for having to start looking for American websites who would ship internationally when I stumbled across mysmokingshop.co.uk and lo and behold they sell Gawith Cola!! I’ve ordered a tin of it as well as another unusual snuff called ‘Bernard Brasil Double Fermented Snuff’ which I have literally never heard of before. It looks like a little gem of a website and seems to sell more varities of snuff than I have seen elsewhere. I just wanted to make all my fellow UK snuffers aware of this site if they fancied trying Gawith Cola etc for themselves without the hassle of ordering it from abroad.

For my taste the Gawith Cola snuff is MUCH to heavy flavoured. I mixed it 1:1 with Toque natural… already much better but still a bit to strong flavoured for me, will try it with 1:3…

Please review the Bernard when you receive it, I am curious about the “Double Fermented” part of the name. Thanks!

I have ordered from there before, they are very good. I ordered a load of snuff yesterday actually with my first Bernards. Another good thing about them is that they sell Wilsons in 25g tins and F&T in 25g and 50g tins.

the brasil is one of the traditional bernhard schmalzlers and should be very nice.

I will review the Bernard when I get it. I’m really looking forward to it now. I guess i’ll receive it by Tuesday.

Lazarus, the Cola works well as a mixer. Try it with Ozona or Chapman Cherry or Toque Chocolate.

…Or Toque natural, finally i like my mixture, and its still pretty sweet

I’ve never tried Toque natural. The only Toques I have tried are Chocolate and Blueberry. I have about 50grams of the Chocolate at the moment… Silly question: Does the Gawith Cola actually taste just like cola or is it just sweet?

As everyone smells things a little differently, to me it smells like cola syrup rather than the actual smell of cola from the can. The syrup used by the original soda jerks and still used in the family ice cream shop. They would put a few squirts of cola syrup in a glass then fill with the carbonated water.

Ah right, so its like cola but even sweeter?

My todays mixture taste somehow still strong like cola, the Gawith Cola itself for me like a cola concentrate, it completely overlays the good quality tobacco. But mixed i find it really nice and interessing.

to me it does not really have a cola feel. more like something herbal, with a dark and pungent note. if you really want to find cola in there, you will probably find it.

I can’t wait to get it, I’m hoping it will arrive tommorow…

Poschl Kloster Andechs is another one worth trying.

DHOLAKIA MANJUL is clove flavoured snuff.

and very plesantly agrees greatly with my nose. Not a burny clove at all in my opinion.

Yeah, and the texture of the Manjul is better (finer) than the De Kralingse Pompador, which I appreciate. I’m not as big a fan of the course grind sunffs.

I definatly like the fine grinds I still need to check out the pompador though.

I am a big fan of the Gawith Cola. It’s like you laughed too hard while drinking cola and it shot out your nose, but in a good way if that’s possible. It’s a snuff I’ve had for a while so I’m using the new ones more often, but this one still shows up in the rotation every now and then.

Gawith Cola is nice, very much cola flavoured however I just wish they’d keep the menthol out of it LOL

I buyed a new Gawith Cola tin, seems its not so very much cola flavoured as it was in the past and I like it more now. In a german snuff forum some people wrote that also Gawith Apricot is not so strong flavored as it was.

I agree with Lazarus. I can taste the cola, but wish there was no menthol in it. This was hard to get since it seems to be out of stock or not carried by many places. I got mine at Irwin Ries, even though they don’t carry many snuffs.

Namrata, MANJUL is THE BEST clove flavoured snuff on the globe.

thank you pieter! take care.

Oh jeez this reminds me of something I noticed lately. When I first got my pompadour dutch snuff. I think shit a clove snuff better then the manjul. Then after a week of heavy use of the pomp I took a pinch of the manjul then proceeded to kill my bag (use it to very end) and I noticed that the manjul isn’t as straight clove as it seemed and actualy smell like a very toned down clove toothpaste with some awesome mint hint. I know it’s because of the pompadour teaching me how to seperate out the clove smell from thee others enough to indetify them more clearly. The gaiwith cola really should lose the menthol at least the amount of menthol. Probably be really good and have more of a cola snap (think carbonated cola versus non carbonated cola) if instead of a bucket of menthol it had a drop of menthol and eucalyptus. Now someone should make that.

@ namrata Question am I correct in assumeing that cola champagne is actualy it’s own type of beverage and not infact cola (like pepsi or coca cola) but it’s own type of drink??? I know I’ve seen champagne cola which was a light brown soda sold in the latin section of the grocery.
