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

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 love the 25g vacuum sealed tins!

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

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,

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

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.

Just got it in, very nice! Very small box with a lot, and I mean a LOT of freshness!!!

@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

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

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

@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

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?

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