I “recycled” many of my mint snuffs into my Coffee and Mints pot which is developing nicely. They just weren’t winning me over. I did however keep back three minty snuffs which I wasn’t prepared to throw into the pot. WoS Chocolate Mint: This is an excellent snuff. It’s like an after dinner peppermint cream chocolate, a rich peppermint fondant scent surrounded by a soft cocoa scent. Far too good to mix. WoS Spearmint Plus: Not the sort of snuff I usually go for at all, but I actually keep a recycled Toque tin dedicated specifically for this snuff. A nice burst of minty freshness without being too overpowering. GH Wild Mint: This is a really lovely gentle mint snuff, which I find to be like being near mint plants outdoors rather than having a concentrated scent rammed up your hooter. A nice light refreshing snuff. What are your favourites, and what would your summary of it be for folks who haven’t tried it before?
McChrystal’s Supermint is my far-and-away favorite mint snuff.
It’s got a nice healthy burn, but it’s not mentholated as far as I can tell. The initial scent reminds me of King or Wilhelmina brand peppermints, then it fades to a Doublemint gum… It’s delicious.
I’ve only tried two, WOS Crumbs of Comfort and Viking Spear. Of the two, I prefer the WOS, probably due to the finer grind and (felt) greater strength of the spearmint.

I like Viking tobacco, so for a long time it was Viking Spear, but I recently got some Bernard’s Steife Prise, and I think I like it better. A minty schmalzler with what I would call a medium menthol level.
Old Mill Javelin. Nothing else comes anywhere near as close to real garden mint for me.
