Just opened a two-year-old tin of JH Wilson’s Medicated No. 99

S

And it is as fresh as the day I bought it! This tin is amazing. It’s difficult to open, and on the side reads “To Open Insert Coin And Twist”. All snuff companies should jump on this tin-banwagon. I’m very impressed. Just thought I would throw that out there. ~Ken

I’m a witness to its freshness. Honestly, it felt like snow. Incredibly impressive.

S

I couldn’t even believe it. Simply amazing. A very strong menthol snuff, but will be a good replacement when I am out of O&G and waiting for a shipment. ~Ken

Nice to see more recognition of No. 99. It seems the little blue smash boxes also age well, even after they’ve been open awhile. Besides enjoying it from a recreational point of view, I also use it for what I guess was it’s intended purpose. Clearing out the Sinuses when I have a serious head cold, allergies or the flu. It’s very effective!

I can’t open the tins anymore as Ive got some arthritis in my hands, I just puncture and decant. I think that snuff would just last and last that vacuum is so good. The snuff itself seems to come from a less refined era but is still one of my all time favourites using it as a condiment for home blends. Ive got to think Fubar medic was strongly modelled on it,

P

I believe No.99 will be discontinued soon? Not available in SA anymore.

N

I have a tin of this that I have not yet opened, I was going to wait until my O&G was gone (its getting pretty low) but I might bust it open sooner because if its really good and it is being discontinued I’m going to want to stockpile while I still can.

S

@n9inchnails- You could stockpile all sorts of this snuff and not even have to worry about putting it into an airtight container to keep it fresh. That’s convenient as hell! ~Ken

B

I can’t believe as a menthol lover, I still have yet to try this…and Hedges.

M

They’re discontinuing it??!! :-0 I’m now having a panic attack.

S

@bipolarbear- Those are…two of the most menthol snuffs EVER. Ha. @mrsnuffypants- This is the first I have heard about it being discontinued. Can Mr. Snuff shed any light on this? ~Ken

S

Pieter was just speculating because he can’t obtain it in South Africa anymore, that doesn’t actually mean it’s going out of production. Chinese whispers or what?

S

“Chinese whispers or what?” …What? Ha. ~Ken
