OM Puro Dominicana

This cigar snuff is just a few days’ away from release. I blended a higher percentage of Volado and Seco leaf than the Ligero to tame it down a bit. It’s fairly mild, with a nice back note of cedar and leather, toasted filler leaf up front and brandy scent fleeting in and around. It is a little on the dry/fine side so may appeal to toast lovers. It’s not an “in your face” snuff bomb, but more of a gentle, long lasting toasty cigar scent. Decent, but not over the top nicotine hit. Could be named “Pure Dominican Toast” and probably should be. This is one that will age quite well. I’m packing in amber glass jars; one, two and four fluid ounce volumes. As soon as my new gram scale arrives I’ll update on weights and pricing. Looks like January 5-7 for release. UPDATE: I’m looking at a way to line each jar with cedar “paper”. I’ll keep you posted.

Keep it up @chefdaniel! You’re a one man band churning out hit after hit and I’m sure this one will be no different; high quality snuff that’s become synonymous with the entire Old Mill line. I can’t wait to try the new release.

Looking forward to this!!

Ready. Jars are lined with cedar.

@chefdaniel can’t wait for this one! :smiley:

@jmahes‌ Ready to go. Shoot me what you need and it’s outahere. Cheers

Can’t wait!

Sounds great. Any pics of these cedar lined jars? Another thought, why don’t snuff makers show pictures of the actual snuff for users to get an idea of the color and grind?

Just placed my first OM order and the Puro was top of the list. Can’t wait and thanks @chefdaniel‌, you’re a gent!

@CaptShipwreck‌ Your wish is my command. This is the small bottle.

Ya see, a picture is worth a thousand words. That there is a seller! You say it is limited edition. Does that mean it is limited in quantity, or a one off blend, or both? I have to admit my fears of one off and done blends, that I may miss them like a woman, never to be seen again if I fall in love.

@CaptShipwreck‌ I hate to do this, but I have to tell you the chances of getting the four primings of filler leaf from one farm more than once in a life time are slim and none. I got lucky getting this leaf, and paid a fortune for it. If the planets ever align favorably in the future I’ll certainly jump on the opportunity, but I’m not holding my breath. So, yes limited in quantity; about 500 grams and yes, a one off. The good news is the cedar lining will help this age with style and grace. A woman is only a woman but a cigar is a smoke. Or something like that, but Kipling didn’t strike me as a snuffer. The good news: I have some of the ligero and seco left over from blending. That is stored in toasted cedar casket. I also have some Honduran and Nicaraguan viso, some Brazilian Mata Fina volado (rare) and some San Andrés Valley (Mexico) wrapper that I’m going to blend with some toasted burley for Robusto , a toasted snuff with latent cigar tendencies. Perfecto will use some of that leaf collection, a bit of dark fired Kentucky and some stoved red Virginia for a sweeter toasted cigar snuff.

Ah well, won’t be the first time I will have loved and losses! I like these cigar snuff ideas!

I look forward to ordering any one of you cigar snuffs as soon as I start making some money in the new year…I am sure they are fantastic, like all the other OM snuffs I have stashed in my freezer for only occasional, late-night fun. Gotta make 'em last as long as I can, 'tho I pinched all the Fire and Ice and Limoncello in an uncontrolled snuff fiend-frenzy the other night( was it New Year’s eve? can’t remember)

Well… what can I say? It was love at first take with this snuff. I’ll be placing another order for at least one 60g jar before this snuff is gone. It’s a tobacco forward snuff (and yes you can smell Cuba) with an incredibly well infused brandy scent atop fresh cigar leaf with cedar and leather undertones. I’ve never had a snuff like it, but thought… ‘I wish this is what SWS Havana Toast was like’. The grind and moisture remind me of many Toque snuffs; as it is fine, light, fluffy, and easy to take. This snuff has a nice buttery burn in the nose with a nicotine hit that’s on the higher side of medium and is just right… I mean this is a damn near perfect snuff. Puro Dominicana is a home run. Nice job and thank you @chefdaniel for another brilliant snuff.

@Jim‌ Thanks for the tempting review Jim! I’m sitting here salivating already wishing I’d paid the extra for super fast shipping :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Just received a jar today. Very nice!

I also received my jar today. A solid 5/5 from me. I had the same thought as @Jim with the ‘I wish this is what SWS Havana Toast was like’. You continue to set the bar for snuff makers, current and future alike.

Hey, Havana and Dominica–I love you both, just in different ways. :smile:

They are both great snuffs and everyone should keep plenty of both on hand. :slight_smile:
