When you first unscrew a tin of Rusty Nail, the first aromas to waif out of the can are those of a dry sauna: mushrooms, torrefied wood and eucalyptus. The ruddy brown snuff is coarsely ground, fluffy and sticky moist. Upon uptake it provides a cool burn that is slight yet long in the nose. The afterburn reveals flavours of mint, camphor and eucalyptus that are supported by notes of both chocolate and citrus. The snuff sits well in the nose and fosters no drip; its deep flavours whelm the sinuses rather than caress them. High in nicotine, Rusty Nail is surprisingly sweet, evolving into an experience akin to the enjoyment of an after-dinner mint.
