@Mrnose Vanilla Ice? I wonder why I haven’t spied that one before…is it still in production? I hope they didn’t cease production because the name clashed with that of a dreadful 1990s rapper…
@Jinder: Polar Prise is what the poschle’s snuff should have been
@Jinder I never have a post nasal drip issue with President. Could be that I don’t take it as far up my nose as you do. All the drip I get is out of my nose, which requires me to blow my nose fairly soon after taking a sniff. It’s a great decongestant!
I actually like some Poschle’s snuff–it has a mixed reputation. President and GP were my first snuffs. Gletscherprise, I swear, is 500 times better out of foil re-fill packet than a tap box.
oddly enough red bull has started stuffing me up, but president presents no problems.
O&G. alpina a close second and in third place ice liquorice. The last one reminds me of PK chewing gum.
i like lowenprise and hedges mixed together
Kendal Eucalyptus
I like WoS Super Menthol, by itself and as a mixer.
I have only ever tried two mentholated snuffs although I will try more in the future but the ones I do have I will most likely restock on when I got out, the first English snuff I ever tried was Prime Minister and I love it reminds me of the way the air smells after a spring rain, the menthol is not too strong as to make you cry but it definitely makes its presence known. The other that I have recently acquired was Poschl’s Ozona Raspberry…it’s a bit like having a Cherry or Raspberry cough drop in your nose which is not a bad thing but that’s what it makes me think of each time I take a sniff.
O&G regularly. Other menthols - especially the Poeschls - clog my nose.
SM Blue. The only menthol in my house. I alternate between that and SM 500. I use menthol only for sinus clearing purposes and if me or the kids get sick. A little pinch of menthol works wonders for plugged sinus. My youngest is 16 and not addicted, so save to recriminations, please.
Hedges or WoS Prime Minister can’t decide.
@Jinder: Almost all Pöschl products give me wicked post nasal drip as well. I know it happens to a lot of other people too. I think its the combination of too much menthol and the paraffin they use. Bernard’s (even the mentholated ones) don’t do it to me and they also use paraffin. So something specific about Pöschl’s recipes. I used to hack and spit and try to clear them from my throat. I’ve since learned only to take them right before a hot shower.
@Jinder: Vanilla Ice is still available, we carry it at my shop in Missouri. And concerning the early 90’s rapper with the same moniker, I find the allusion to be a selling point among my younger customers.
Hedges L260 is the ultimate strong menthol IMO, though Poschl’s Red Bull is also great for a strong menthol kick. It seems finer and stronger than most other Poschls. My absolute favourite is probably Gawith Apricot, though the menthol aspect is a bit milder than with many menthol snuffs. Also get through a lot of President, and others that have also been mentioned… I would also add Radfords (in the big tins) which has a spicey kind of edge, and particularly J&H Wilson’s Medicated no99.
@sloth - I’ve just received a box of Gawith Apricot from Mr Snuff, so I look forward to trying that! @mrnose - hehehe I should imagine it is-it’s certainly a humorous name for a snuff. I’ll try some, I love Ice Liquorice so Vanilla Ice sounds great. @bigmick - no worries, I’m certainly not going to be judgemental. There are far worse things a 16yr old can take than a pinch of menthol snuff to clear his head! @ourlastdefeat @vathek - I’ll try Prime Minister on my next order, sounds delicious, thanks for the descriptions, gentlemen! @howdydave - I may be taking my President a bit further into my nose than your good self-I’ll try taking a more delicate sniff and seeing what happens…certainly makes for a top-notch decongestant prior to a singing commitment for me, if I could knock the throat drip on the head I’d take it with me to every gig. @matsnuffs - Polar Prise is on the shopping list! Thanks to all for the input-great info.
Highland Ice by McCrystal’s is often overlooked, but pretty nice. I liked English Menthol too. Toque Menthol is a shining star, as well.
