I’d like to present an update from a purely personal perspective; after all, I’ve been nurturing this finicky beast along for well over a year. The finicky nature is my own fault, considering a tobacco bill that has more downside potential than a Kentucky Derby Trifecta.
Add to that a scenting system loaded to the rafters with disaster at every turn. It’s my own damn fault.
And I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
In just a few days this snuff has evolved and improved like no other I’ve experienced. Not only evolving in the “tin” but also in the nose.
The more I indulge, the more it reveals those elusive scents and flavors I was looking for, only more so. It’s still a cardamom bomb, but as it settles in, the nuts, citrus and mint do their dance in and out of the experience. Weird, in the best ways possible.
The honey and butter are always present, but never intrusive, so the sweetness never gets cloying, and the butter helps make the experience pretty much painless, aside from a solid initial burn. The dried fruits add a bit of a tannic nuance that makes the finish very clean.
The downside is that this is a snot monster. I never get a back-drip from any snuff, so I can’t address that aspect, but give up the hankies and kleenex for this one; go straight for a highly absorbent beach towel to keep up with the flow. And do not wear a white shirt.
Nicotine? It’s in there, but not so much that it causes me any issues; don’t let that influence your assessment, I go through HDT by the ounce on a weekly basis.
