Löwen-Prise

[Xander]

There are not many licorice snuffs on the market. There are plenty of anise ones, but few licorice. Löwen-Prise (Lion Pinch) has a good strong and clearly licorice flavor. Sadly, of the few licorice snuffs, even fewer are without menthol. As typical with Pöschl, they give too much menthol. One good thing is that after the initial menthol blast subsides, you are left with a nice lingering sweet licorice taste. Then it begins to creep into your throat and cause some unpleasant drippage that these waxy-mentholy Pöschl snuffs always seem to do. Its not as bad as most of them though, so I can at least say its a good snuff and not a mediocre one. Edit: I later learned that it does indeed have a variety of anise in it, but also I believe the licorice. Notes: Name translates to “Lion Pinch” in English.
