Just opened my first tin of O&G. It’s pretty nice but i think McC’s Jip is better. is there a little citrus in O&G or do i just smell something else in this snuff…
@dm_lasse maybe it’s the camphor.
I love it, but nothing gives me rebound sinus blockage like O&G for some reason.

@dm_lasse That’s the general consensus. It has the tradtional medicated ingredients (menthol, camphor, eucalyptus) but also something citrusy probably bergamot. I agree JIP is better, but I know that’s a minority opinion. O&G has less menthol than JIP too.
I found o&g q bit camphor heavy for my tastes.
When it comes to that perfect hit, nothing has ever come as close as O&G. I’m thankful that the perfect hit doesn’t occur more than a few times a week, otherwise I might not ever do anything else, including work.
OG’s camphor is just perfect for me but my new friend Gawith Hoggarth’s CM is very close to the OG and there is a bonus, it’s container is just very handy to use. no need to play with bullets. heard it can be dangerous ;,P
@hooked what do you think about CM being a close relative to OG?
It’s fairly close, but not quite. I just took some down and realized I’ve always pinched the CM out of the container, using a spoon improved the reception.
I’ve been on a snuff mission to find O&G’s equal, more affordable and available in bulk, but the mission is not done.
I love Cm and find O.g. gross. It’s something I imagine most people can’t smell (our sense of smell is actualy shockingly individual and no two people do smell the same things.)
@hooked - I find a 50:50 mix of WoS SM Blue and Tom Buck or Best SP to be a reasonable approximation, though certainly not identical. It works out quite a bit cheaper than O&G too.
I love O&G and mix it 50-50 with Tom Buck or another strong SP as my regular snuff.
Thanks @erntony, the SM Blue and Tom Buck, is pretty dang close. And I’ve had em in the pantry all along!
O&G was nothing special to me, and it was kind of dissapointing since so many people advocate it, but I still like to have some every now and then
and to my nose smbluck is nothing like o.g… Again with noses being unique.
My olfactories must be different as well. I liked O&G occasionally, now it’s too much camphor for me. Also I never got even a hint of citrus from O&G.
