When I first looked into our wonderful pastime of snuffing I was doing a lot of reading . When I discovered that Licorice/Anise flavoured snuffs were available I new I had to try one. Today my shipment of McChrystal’s(USA) snuff came and was so happy to try an Anise flavored snuff. Now while I cannot compare this to other snuffs with an anise or licorice scent, I can tell you what it was for me, as a new snuffer, to try this product.
Right when I opened the lid off the tin the smell enticed me. it was sweet, floral and deep with overtones of honey. A medium brown colour with clumps that when prodded with the tip if the back of the nail clipper smoothed out in a creamy way. Although I’ve yet to get the pinch technique down to any degree I couldn’t help plunk my fingers into that sweet moist tobacco.
I admit, in my over-eagerness I sniffed too hard when bringing my fingers to my nose and the snuff immediately hit my sinus. 
However, it didn’t burn and after coughing a little proceeded to try again. This time I used the back of a nail clipper to take a small pile of snuff and bring it to my nose. ( I haven’t a snuff spoon.)
I took a small whiff and immediately the aroma told me I was in for a treat. Upon snuffing it off the back of the nail clipper my nose was full of deep, sweet notes of pure licorice, just as I had hoped it would be. The scent was a much deeper experience of the tin notes and the floral quality was wondrous and I found the experience intoxicating.
The snuff was neither drying to the nose nor did it make it run. It had no burn but rather had a gentle tingle to it , as the delicious aroma made its way through my whole sinus, I immediately decanted over half the contents of into a tap box and repeated the experiment with my other nostril with the same effect…
This snuff for me is easy to take, and for a beginner, I think that’s saying a lot. 
Of the few snuffs I’ve tried this one was the one that immediately identified itself to me as an all-day snuff.
Again I’ve only been snuffing for three days as of this post and haven’t tried any other anise or licorice flavoured snuffs, But I definitely can say I will be stocking up on this one as it makes my nose VERY happy. 
Well that’s all for now. This is my first try at reviewing a snuff so please let me know if there are any other notes i should add to this.
Happy Snuffing! B-)
