Dholakia Medicated No. 10

21

I got mine about a week ago and have been hitting it good. It is a proper menthol but still it has its own character. I like this a lot and hope to see it at Mr. Snuff.

^^^ Agree. I’m grateful to have taken part in the “testing panel” and I wish I can see it available in commercial form, as it’s a worthy addition to the current portfolio of medicated snuffs.

Put my sample to air on plate for over a month and menthol has gone to none. Seems to have retained minor perfume and I mean next to nill. Faint chocolate scent and did make me sneeze! Not sensing a Madras smell but has the N to it. True tobacco scent just isn’t there either. Still not one I would purchase even after the mod with air.

Apparently this is not going to be a problem we will have to face.

I like it, which I wasn’t expecting because I historically don’t like medicated snuff. Like, at all. Up until now, the only exception for me has been Dean Swift Bezoar, but even that is a “very rare occasion” snuff. This Medicated No. 10, I like. The menthol is heavy at first. Extremely so. But for me it fades slowly into a thick barnyardy scent that reminds me of Viking Blonde, but richer. The combination of barnyardy and coolness make this a really unique snuff which I would definitely purchase were it to pop up on MS. One other note, every other medicated snuff I have tried so far clogs me up something fierce, which is what pretty much turned me off to the whole genre. This stuff doesn’t, though, which is amazing considering how intense it is. @Manit_Joshi You may have created the medicated snuff that changed my opinion of medicated snuffs.

It has camphor and not menthol in it. That is probably why it keeps the shoz from plugging up. Back in the day they made canphofaniqe jelly that you rub above your upper lip when you had a cold or stuffed up nose. For some reason I do believe I have read they outlawed camphor in the U.S. as it is very carcinogenic!?? I do have a second sample that is sealed of the #10 that I may have ago in the future but had to try the “air trick” on the first.

@nicmizer I haven’t heard anything about camphor being taken off the market here in the states. It’s the main ingredient in Vicks Vapor Rub, and most DEET free bug repellents. Hopefully you’re wrong about it being carcinogenic, as I’ve been spraying After Bite on my kids all summer.

First, Thaks to Manit_Joshi for the samples.

I originally posted my review to the Medicated n10 in the temporary Snuffhouse (.net) but unfortunately I could not retrieve it so I will write it all again.

What I received was a medium/fine, light brown, medium moist, easy to take mentholated ( or camphorated as some fellow snuffers say) snuff, blended with expert hand to make the menthol hit hard first and fading into a great tobacco aroma with hints of licorice,a bit of aniseed? and barnyard. The menthol does not cloy me at all even if I hit it frequently. The nicotine content is medium. Even not being a big fan of the mentholated snuffs I will make sure to get some of this Medicated n10 for my stash when it hits the market.

A great medicated snuff overall!

Thanks for the reviews.
We have send samples to many snuff users of which many reviews are yet to be received.
I would really appreciate if you can add your reviews here to get better idea.

Sorry I forgot to comment on earlier discussion about Camphor.

There is no Camphor in Dholakia Medicated No. 10

Also you will be pleased to hear that we have re-dispatch another consignment with Madras and Medicated No.10 to Mr. Snuff which is expected to be delivered by end of next week.

 My opinion of the #10 Medicated is that it’s a good menthol snuff with some complexity, on a good base tobacco.

Finally the consignment has been cleared by Custom.

I don’t understand why it took so long anyway the good news is that it will be available in few days.

 @Manit_Joshi  Is there any word on the Madras? This has taken a really long time in transit and still has not arrived at Mr. Snuff.

I want some of both, Just send me 500 grams of each. That should tie me over until it gets in stock
