Peach & Honey Sweet

This snuff, is sadly no longer made. My sample was from a vintage tin dating to the late 1960s. The label was actually very pretty. It has a honeycomb motif, with superimposed peaches. I’m noteven sure if this made it to full production, because most tins I have seen have all been vintage and have been dealer’s samples. It was unfortunate that this had taken on a bit of mustiness with aging, but what was evident was how good this must have once been. I got no sense of peach at all, or at least on par with much as can be detected in the still made Peach Sweet by this company. However, the honey was what made this beautiful. It was a real, natural tasting rich honey scent. Nothing like Swisher’s Honey Bee. I actually thought Honey Bee tasted like honey until I tasted this. I think artificial sweeteners have replaced the once natural ones in the sweet snuffs since the 1960s. Vintage tins of this surface on ebay from time to time, but they are still quite rare. Grab one if you see it, as its a gem. I am greatful to one of my fellow reviewers who shared his with me. Its a real treat. One can always hope that Conwood/American will revive old recipes. Note: discontinued brand. somewhat musty but very good honey flavor Rating: 3/5 First tried: October 2009 Style: Sweet Scotch Grind: fin Moisture: dry
