Dholakia Sparrow Cool

I’ve not used a menthol snuff in 20 years, for me they are tasteless and just lack any real character. As Namrata was kind enough to send such generous samples however, the least I could do was try it. And it’s superb. A dry, fine snuff with a distinctive, almost sweet, tobacco background taste but - most surprising of all - the menthol has not been tipped in the mix by the bucket load. At last, a menthol snuff that tastes of something and has the medicated part applied sparingly. I have used this for several days now and it gets better and better - a great snuff from a company that is producing some terrific flavours.

one of my new ffavorites. I never thought I’d love a snuff that finely ground. The menthol is just a hint but enough to add flavour and some coolness superb

Dholakia seems to be really taking off, the new range is excellent. Dholakia and Toque are what I’m using at present.

I agree. O.k. still useing other snuffs. My Dholakia and toque supplies are shrinking dramaticly. Espcialy the Dholakia I love the hint of sandalwood that all their snuffs seem to have. I also think my new favorite packaging type is the bullet refills.

The bullets dont seem to influence the taste either, which they seem to do with toque

I’ve noticed this. I think it has to do mostly with the bigger payload. Which I really like that I only need to do two bumps to get a fix. Though I think the manjul is my favorite of all of them.

I couldn’t deal with the Manjul, that was too heavy on the menthol for me. Actually, at the moment by way of a change Im indulging in a spot of IHT No22, good stuff that

love to try it. HOw does the grind of IHT compare to manjul or kamal (which is the one I meant, though I love manjul too though)

Very similar bob, even the same type of colour

cool I really like that grind it works well for me. Easier then heavier snuffs actualy.

If you meant how to snuff toasts, just hold a pinch under your nose and breathe in gently like you’re trying to smell something nasty you really don’t want to smell. Keep your fingers moving together to expose more snuff little by little. The slightest airflow will pick it up.

LOL! I remember learning how to snuff Rooster without ‘knocking my eyeballs’ out! I occasionally forget what I’m doing and get a RUDE awakening! Snuffbox has the right idea when it comes to these snuffs.

Hopefully we’re going to get a new generation of menthols where the tobacco is as prominent as the menthol. Dholakia, I think are leading the way with this but I was lucky enough to sample some toque menthol proto types recently and they were really fantastic, hope they make it to market.

All Dholakia snuffs are super-tasting to me but I love Manjul best (I love Swiss Chocolate more but that’s in a different catagory) Dholakia comes a long way, over 300 years I believe, and their snuff is different from anything else I’ve ever tasted. It’s a pity that it’s not available from all snuff stores.

Pieter - (Are you in the Netherlands?) 300 years? Wow I had no idea, and as a historian this intrigues me! The Manjul somehow reminds me of W&S Crumbs of Comfort? Some spearmint there? Today I’m pinching Ganga, which is really a snuff that I might take to!

Pieter is the properiator of De Kraglinsen snuff,amirite? :smiley:

Roam - ah - thanks for updating me :slight_smile: amirite I don’t know however? :))))

Sparrow cool is definitely what I would call an expert snuff. You have to have good pressure control when sniffing it to get it just into the nose and not back to far. Way too dry for a big old snort. For me it is very similar to high dry toast in that respect. If you have the nasal pressure control, you can’t beat dry snuffs, imho.
