After hearing so many great things about Old Mill Artisan Snuff, I broke down and ordered a tin of calypso and dreamcatcher. Two days have passed and I just checked my mail and found a lovely surprise! I am very happy with the packaging and quick shipping. I appreciate the extra effort of taping the box. The contents were clean packaged and looked very professional. I do a Lot of sales on eBay and know that care must be taken when packaging anything. I have just tried the calypso and I must say it is quite amazing. I have never reviewed or tried any snuff other than the Garrett and dental, and calyspo makes them seem like garbage. At first I am picking up a bold but mellow toasted cocoa aroma, followed by a very subtle scent which I can only describe as the latex smell of a new bag of latex balloons. It is extremely easy to snuff compared to W.E. Garrett, does not clog my nose, no drip, and absolutely no burn. Has more of a nicotine punch than the garrett. I have become instantly hooked on this luxurious snuff. I will add reviews of the others over the next couple days as I allow my nose to take it all in. Thank you so much @chefdaniel for this wonderful experience.
@wanderingwoodsmith I agree, i think you cant go wrong with @chefdaniel creations… take a look at his menu and pick something you like the look of… Truly great and flavorful snuff. the Tennessee toast is definitely worth a you trying i think
The chef is a wizard. They are all good, but calypso is special to me. Reminds me of my time in Costa Rica
I opened the tin of dreamcatcher last night. More fine grind than Calypso. First scent is an anise/licorice scent that I usually can’t stand, but it is very nice in the nose. I have noticed that flavors on your tongue are completely different than scents in your nose. Flavors I would normally hate are very nice when in snuff. A few moments later the anise scent slowly changes into a slightly pungent/astringent scent(Valerian root) mixed with a sweet/ tart scent(chamomile?) Both scents on their own are rather plain but when they come together they bring a wonderful melting pot of earthy soothing scents. As others have suggested it is very nice right before sleep.
