Like most toques, this smells exactly like what the tin says. Its like sniffing crushed candy canes. A sweet minty menthol-like snuff with little to no tobacco scent. Very refreshing, but can get cloying. Not an all day snuff but perfect for a treat, especially in hot weather. Not too fine or dry and with a medium nicotine content.
Very nice! Somehow this snuff gets forgotten as one of Toque’s greats. Naturally, it helps if you like peppermint. It has a nice clearing effect without the use of menthol. Very strong, natural and slightly sweet peppermint flavor. There may be a touch of something creamy, perhaps vanilla in there. It also mixes very nicely with the Toque Vanilla. Its a little finer and dryer than Wilson’s Peppermint, but slightly courser than most other Toque snuffs. Its beginner friendly in that regard.
