I did some searches and couldn’t quite find an answer so thought I would just ask it here. Is the medicated snuff just menthol snuff or is there something else in the mix to give that name? Ive heard both and I know the menthol alone clears the sinus. I will be placing a medicated snuff in my next order and wanted some input on which ones you guys like. I was going to go with the fubar medic but would like some other opinions. I apologize if this is a repeat somewhere and I just couldn’t find it. I’m just getting back into the wonderful world of snuff again so I’m a second time noob. Thanks ahead of time for your replies
Usually but not specifically camphor. I like 6 Photo Medicated No. 66 and Gawith Hoggarth CM.
Medicated snuff can contain many things, Menthol, Camphor, Eucalyptus and others, I like 6 Photo Medicated No. 66 a lot the No. 6 isn’t bad either for straight menthol I think Hedges L260 is great, WoS O&G is another good one Radford is also good as well as Red Bull.
I’ve tried a few of the medicated snuffs…L260 is too harsh for me, just too much menthol. I quite like WoS Camphor & Mild, and GH Eucalyptus is great for those who don’t like menthol at all. I have a small tin of SM Blue on order to try. I’ll likely order the 6 Photo No.66 soon, too.
Thanks guys I added a tin of wos camphor & mild and 6 photo no.66 to my most recent order to start with and I’m sure I wont be disappointed
The medicated snuffs were used to be sold in chemists or drugstores at the beginning of the 20th century. The recipes contain different mints, eucalyptus, camphor, rosemary, thyme, lavender, licorice root, sometimes black pepper and other herbs of the British and Low Countries I still have to figure out.
McCrystal’s Original & Genuine has been my “snuff medicine” of choice since I discovered it a couple months ago. What a great way to open up the tubes and breathe again! Go easy, though, it’ll give you quite a pounding if you do a big ol’ boxcar of it!
I friggin’ love L260 (sadly, only have a ~kilo on hand). But, having just tried 6 Photos 666, I might have found a less expensive alternative.

I just received 6 photo 666, and absolutely love this snuff. Not an all-dayer perhaps, but a wonderful wake up snuff. It’s quite similar to Hedges, but has more complex aromas to me, more interesting somehow. At almost half the price, this is certainly going to replace Hedges for me. Only negative are the 6 photo 30 gr tins that are such PITA to use. I’ve decanted them into old SG tins. Might buy this in bulk next time.
SM Blue would have to be my favourite medicated, though I do love Viking Menthol too, especially before bed. McC’s O&G is also nice, as is WoS Prime Minister if you like a bit of spearmint in there too.
WoS extra menthol is a great medicated snuff! I think t justhas menthol though., lots of mrnthol, only menthol, but its great.
I think it justhas menthol though., lots of mrnthol, only menthol,
I tried Hedges L260, and can’t help wondering if they forgot to put any tobacco in…
6 Photo Special work for me every time I need to employ a medicated snuff. Always travels with some along with the other snuffs for that day.
