New snuff - Poschl JBR Blue

V

Launched onto the German market on the 1st of July.

Described as “a new english-type menthol snuff with fruity ice candy flavor and a refreshing menthol note, perfectly complementing the previous JBR Green variety with its refreshing wintergreen aroma combined with a fine spearmint note”.

The concept of putting blue stuff inside my face isn’t all that appealing to me. But I’d love to try this one! “with fruity ice candy flavor”

@ar47, I think it’s brown, just as the rest in Poschl range (with an exception of their white, glucose-based snuff in a small glass bottle). I found only one review yet (at snuffstore.de), someone evaluated it as second best Poschl right after the Gawith Original (the one in the black box).

So by English I take it to mean a dry snuff?

@Codyg140, I would expect typical Poschl moisture with paraffin oil and all.

I haven’t tried JBR Blue, but had quite a bit of Poschl Ozona English Type snuff in those 5 g round metal tap boxes. I’m not sure what makes them “English Type” - Ozona is moist and oiled.

However, there is at least one dry (i. e. unoiled) snuff in Poschl range - Radford English Type No. 1, akin to Hedges L260 (which is fairly moist when fresh, but is water based and contains no paraffin).
