I’ve tried a few, my favourite being Hedges L260…silky smooth, fine but moist, huge whack of nicotine and menthol but an underlying hum of quality tobacco too. Minor nose burn, but the kind that makes one feel excited rather than watery-eyed and throbbing-faced. Poschl President is very nice, very strong menthol whoomph, no nose burn at all and a nice nic hit, but gives me an incessant and unpleasant-tasting throat drip which will probably put me off using it in the long run. WoS Ice Liquorice is delicious, and was my first snuff love-the liquorice is subtle, but it delivers well on the menthol front-not overwhelming but present enough to let you know it’s there. I’m a fan of mentholated snuffs, part of my work involves me singing regularly and I find a good honk of Hedges clears my head and gets all my pipes open for business. Good stuff! I’ve heard that Toque are making some pleasant menthols, so will try some soon. I doubt I would ever make a menthol my go-to snuff, but I like to dip into them from time to time, mainly as a palette-cleanser inbetween other snuffs. What are your favourite menthols?
Jip, WoS Honey Menthol, WoS SM 500 Odd for me to have favorites, since I used to loathe menthol. I still have to be careful with it. I also love the lightly mentholated florals from Gawith Hoggarth, like Lakeland.
My favourite menthols are, McChrystal’s O&G, WoS Honey Menthol, and WoS SM Blue.
Interesting stuff…I have to admit that WoS Honey Menthol caught my eye last time I was ordering from Mr. Snuff, I was was very tempted but limited myself to my already-extravagant seven purchases, knowing that I’d be laying cash on the barrelhead for some Abraxas joy before long. Next time!
GH Camphor Menthol is a must try!
McChrystal’s O&G and Wilsons Honey Menthol for me too, and I can get those locally.
O&G for me. I also really like Gawith Hoggarth M4X, which is a herbal menthol, it has the aroma of autumn rain.
O&G
Khalid, I think you just sold that M4X to me-what a great description! I’ll have to track some down.
O&G, SM Blue, Hedges, Toque Cherry Menthol. Stefan
Can not make a final choice on that matter. i am a HUGE fan of menthols and i am more then happy that the world of snuff of today has so much to offer. (of course, i like snuff without menthol too)
Gotta be McC O&G for me
l260
Have half a tin of WoS Extra Menthol in my drawer. It does the trick.
I had been using President almost exclusively for several years… Then I discovered snuff from India!
O&G. The only menthol I could say I like. Every other menthol I have bought ( and there have been plenty) Have become gifts to the earth.
G&H M4X & Lakeland, Bernard Fichtennadel and recently I have discovered that WoS Vanilla Ice is quite pleasant!
Bernard’s Polar Prise is bloody remarkable. A must try as well.
Vathek, is WoS Prime Minister a straight-up Menthol or a blend of Menthol and something else? I’m intrigued to try. I think a great Menthol snuff is very, very hard to get bang on, and I can see why Hedges L260 has been in production for so long-I love that stuff, it’s like snuffing a minty fist in a silken glove.
@matsnuffs I am a bit of a Bernard convert of late, I’ll try that Polar Prise on my next order. @howdydave I like President a lot, but for the pesky sour throat drip it gives me-I don’t get that from Hedges, I wonder what the differing ingredient/change is?
