I picked up a tin of this at a b&m. I really enjoy it. Easy to take, so makes it good for a relative new person. At first you get the menthol scent, followed by the apricot taking center stage while the menthol lingers in the back. One question. Why does poschls call it gawith apricot? Is it from Sam Gawith or Gawith and hoggart and relabeled? I thought I was buying a gawith blend of sorts and didn’t realize it was poschls until I bought it and looked on the back. Doesn’t change how good this blend is.
From my recollection in the early days of the forum, Gawith is not allowed to process schmalzlers in the UK. Thus, they farm it out to Poschl.
i believe its with Gawith Hoggarth
I wondered the same thing, good to know
@zanapus, that makes sense now that I know It is from one of the gawiths due to the tobacco purity laws in the UK.
I like it to as a regular snuff because it’s easy to sniff, no backdrip and no need to blow.
I was not a fan of menthol at all when I first started snuffing. I decanted this stuff into a glass jar and set it aside. After a few weeks of reading about people using menthols in the AM to clear out the sinuses, I found it (unlabeled, of course), only remembering it was a menthol something or other. After the blast, I got the fruit… and it’s been in my pocket for a week now.
Hedges L260 now gets AM sinus duty.
It is becoming my most used snuff since buying it. I only have the apricot, the gleitsprish(spelling), a handful of silver dollar snuffs and the WE garrett sweet snuff. IM going to have to pick some more up before I leave Washington.
Question, are there any similar blends out there that I should try. Not necessarily the apricot flavor, but something with a light menthol and fruity flavored, or something non mentholated and good quality? Basically if you like the apricot snuff, you should try…etc.
@Psicko There are a lot of cherry with menthol types you could try. They are nice to !
@Psicko Poschl FC Bayern is similar, and perhaps my favorite fruity menthol. Johnny Apricot is another very similar one, and seemingly less mentholated than the Gawith Apricot… expensive for some reason though.
Oh, and Edel Frucht. I haven’t tried this one yet, but I’ve got a 10g satchel waiting in my fridge.
I’m one of’m that likes a lil menthol in the mornin’s with coffe , lil briar… AlpinA is another good’n.
got the foil packets, GletchersPrise, Gawith/Poschl apricot, & Edel Frucht…haven’t tried the Bayern yet, it’s on the way…wonderfull snuff stuff…
@Mairelle32, as long as they don’t taste like cough drops those might be good.
@shbickel I will keep those in mind.
@1sweetbriar, I already have the GletcherPrise, not sure if I want more snuff with just menthol in it. I just don’t want to buy too many snuffs that are similar, unless one is way better than the other, That is most likely subjective though. IM trying not to get SAD(snuff acquisition disorder). I already have a lot of pipe tobacco from that acquisition disorder. Same with cigars.
Didn’t really know where to post this. It is a sad day. Poschlusa.Com just closed the doors! I really liked that site.
@Llo I noticed that as well. I thought poschlusa.com was run by Mr. Snuff, unless I’m mistaken? I wonder why they closed the site.
