Molens A/P vs. Fribourg&Treyer Santo Domingo

1

Can not tell what I like better, can you??

2

I prefer the AP.

3

A/P

I am with you there Trymall, they are both very good snuffs. I cannot tell which is better.

5

Apples and Oranges

6

Although they are undoubtably good snuffs, Molens nearly always makes me sneeze. I love F&T SD wholeheartedly.

Yes, apples and orangutangs. I find them quite different. I understand (I think PhilipS wrote about this) that that F&T SD is made with Paris Method (pounded and fermented in brine), and I’m guessing that A/P is not. I may very well be wrong, though.

Agree with toffeenose on this one. Oddly if I’am sick like I have a really nasty flu the Ap doesn’t make me sneeze (more) but seems even better then menthol for clearing out fluness. If I feel o.k. it makes me sneeze my ass off.

This month I have been using the San Domingo only and letting the A/P rest till fall. The pine really shines for me in the moister season. A/P is a snuff for hunting season for me for sure! Both are on my top shelf all the time.

I agree with the seasonal aspects of both these snuffs, cold and damp air is great for these, they don’t really shine for me in the summer months.

Do youz get a hint of almost a tiny tiny tiny bit of Spearmint in A/P Snuif?

A/P most reminds me of PineSol - memories of mid-20th C.hospital corridors. Not picking up a Latakia note, though some article I read suggested the tobacco is dark-fired Kentucky and not Cyprian or Syrian Lat.

All that said, I still turn to A/P sometimes, to mop out my sinuses.

@all: Thanks for your comments. The A/P is a snuff based on our Latakia Ao 1860. Latakia Ao 1860 was the first snuff we produced. Since then we changed the tobacco composition to Burley mixed with Dark Fire Cured  these tobacco’s are sauced and fermented in a continous proces of stamping. Afterwards sieved and for the A/P flavoured essential oils of pine and silver spruce.
