I bought a large (25g) tin Of McChrystal’s O&G today and…filled to capacity!!! This is the only decent snuff I can buy locally and at a very good price, R32.00. That is equal to £2.06 or $3.20.
I’ve bought several tins of O&G, all different sizes and all were filled to the brim.
I’ve had problems with partially-filled tins only with F&T.
@ DLT: That’s just the way F&T is sold.
I’ll weight out the next can I buy to make sure but I bought the 20 something gram tin (was completly full)so it may take a while . O&g is a little on the moister side of things so that would not look like as much as alot of wos or touque snuffs. Either way it a small price to pay for such a large reward. This stuff stole me away from ciggerettes so fast it would make ur head spin. When I first started snuffing I didn’t want nothing but o&g. Now I love others just as much but it holds a place in my heart and IMO the greatest all around menthol snuff . It’s strong smooth and forgiving ,its rich and satysfing and a pleasure to use all day long ,and it’s one of the only ones that I need a back up supply all the time and have to reorder before it’s finished.

Some blends are more moist, therefore weighing more.
sold by weight.
Yep sold by weight. Not sure if any are sold by volume.
Thanks, Xander. I am learning more and more each day, that’s for sure!
I just got an extra large tin of McChrystals SP today and it was full to overflowing.
Mine was overflowing too, until I let a friend try it.
The Large tin is a 10 g tin with 8,75 grams in it and the extra large tin is a 25g tin with 21 grams in it.
correction then, I ordered an Xlarge tin of SP that was overflowing. I even used a business card to try to flatten it down a little, but it was full up.
I just received my order of O&G for the first time and I must confess it is the best of it’s type that I have had. I’m ordering more, too.
McChrystal’s O&G is so popular it CAN’T be that good, can it? Actually, yes it is that good.
Make sure you try Hedges L260 if you love the O&G.
Everybody complains about not being able to buy Hedges in bulk, but I wonder how many people go through a 25 gram tin in 6 months? On the other hand, with O&G, you really should keep a 200 gram tub around.
It takes me around three months to deplete a 25g tin of Hedges. I really love the stuff, plus I am apparently one of those people for whom menthol presents no nasal problems whatsoever. In December I bought a large tin of McChrystal’s Apricot that turned out to be not even half-filled. That is just as well, as I quickly discovered that I really dislike apricot-flavored snuff. I strongly suspect that this tin will forever remain half full.
That’s a lot of Hedges! I have a vial I filled up a couple of weeks ago that’s still about half full. Lately I’ve taken to WoS SM 500 when I want a real burn. I just took a small pinch of Hedges and it definitely made my eyes water, but the SM 500 really makes me cry. Actually, the Hedges does seem to have more of a burn, but there’s something about the Menthol in SM 500 that just blows me away. I do love so-called “medicated” snuffs, and am trying to make the rounds. McC Supermint and JIP are in my next purchase, and I have a bunch of GH Camphor Menthol on the way (along with another tin of Hedges).
I’m also about two-thirds of the way through a 25g tin of J.H. Wilson Medicated No. 99 that I bought back in December. Although it is not a menthol or what I would call a “medicated” snuff, Toque Peppermint is out of this world!
