This is a mix of Princes and Macouba I think. The end result is a snuff that is just a wee bit lighter in color and finer than Princes. Not by much. In the nose, this one still gives a generous amount of geranium, but there is other stuff going on here that for me makes this a more complex and rich snuff. This is far and away the most amazing floral snuff I’ve taken. I kind of go back and forth between this one and SG Princes Dark, but they couldn’t be more different snuffs. Both excellent. If you’re looking for a coarse floral snuff, just proceed directly to Princes Special. If you don’t like it, don’t bother with the rest.
One thing about these F&T coarse grinds, they are coarse but not fluffy in the least. If your snuff box doesn’t seal as well as it should, these have a tendency to get gritty halfway through the day, making the snuff not want to stay in your nose and eventually becoming sneezy. Use a sterling box or hydrate after 5-6 hours if your box is suspect. I find it helps to really fill your box with these, they stay moister that way.
