I’ve just now opened up a fresh tin (medium size) of McChrystal’s O&G. Normally these tins are filled to capacity and more; one always have to be careful when taking off the lid for the first time. The tin which I’ve opened now is only just over half filled!! It was sealed as normal with the cellophane paper which I had to cut off. So, it came like that from the mill. Anyone else had that experience?

Snuff like the O&G are pretty moist & fluffy when they are filled. As they sit & moved around during shipping etc. THat fluffy snuff kind of packs & settles down as time goes on. But my experience with McChrystals is that they are generally only 3/4 full when I open them.
I just received one large tin from my smoking shop and is partially filled as Ixskllr said !! by the way its good stuff!! How many grams in the large tin , does anyone know?

Yeah this can be true man!
Actually, I have O&G in larger tins coming in a few weeks. 25g I think. Tom 
I’m drooling with anticipation. My first tin of this highly touted mix is somewhere in transit to my house as I type.
McChrystals O&O comes in 3 sizes, small, about 5g, medium, about 10g and large, about 25g. Whenever I opened one of these tins, it was filled to overflowing. I’m pretty sure of that. Wilsons is not available in SA, so I’m not mistaken about that. But, be it as it may, I’m beginning to like this snuff more and more. It’s so soft on my nose, unlike other menthols. I take it first thing in the morning and when I go to bed. Alpha and Omega
Pieter, yes, that’s when I enjoy a nice hit of O&G as well. Just seems to be very nice in the morning and late evening. Tom

Thanks FarleFlavors, I guess the “minor” will be like the J&H Wilson’s little square plastic box. I hate those boxes, can’t pinch from them without spilling.
Tom you get the 25g O&G and I’m there!!!

Hooray! Got my first tin of O&G today. I love menthol so its a big hit with me. Reminds me a lot of the WoS Menthol Plus tho I have to say I prefer the WoS slightly more. WoS has that sweetness to it that I can’t quite place. Anyway, I am loving the O&G and doubt the can will last through the week. Glad I gave it a try.
I am not a menthol fanatic but i can t keep my nose far from O&G, Good menthol kick , and you can smell the tobacco and a sweet note that i am not sure what can be!
As a follow up, I had occasion to acquire another tin of this. Seems a small uptown cigar shop here in Dallas carries the O&G in the small 3.5g tins. I couldn’t resist and bought one of the overpriced tins even tho I could tell it was rather aged. The plastic wrapping had turned brown. Inside, the snuff had dried to a fine powder consistency. It still had the same strength and taste as the fresh tin I had recently bought via the web but I just had to know how different it would be. The fresh one is much better IMO so I dumped the old tin in with the new one to rehydrate it a bit. Still holds its potency and flavor although I do experience some clogging and sneezing after using it a couple of times. Ironically, I have to use a Poschl blend to unclog my sinuses. Guess everyone reacts differently to various snuffs in that regard. Nevertheless, I enjoy the O&G and consider it a great blend. Two thumbs up to an enjoyable menthol blend. One more thing as an afterthought. The old and dried tin had considerably more settling in it as opposed to the fresher tin. Guessing that the moisture content of O&G is rather high and the age and handling could account for the settling qualitites as addressed in previous posts here.
Funny you should mention the settling. I opened a large tin of McChrystal’s S’nuff the other day and it was about half-full. I was surprised. Not that I had paid too much attention to how full they were before, but since I noticed it was a little short, then clearly I was expecting it to be fuller. This was a fairly fresh tin (not more than a month out the factory) so I assumed I was just unlucky. Either that or it had been sitting around the factory for a while? I’ll keep a closer eye on the next tin. Mind you it might be a while since I am now pretty much hooked on the FUBAR Grunt! (yes that was a plug, but it also happens to be true…honest)
