When I first tried this snuff, it still came in glass bottles so from memory I knew this was a tobacco I needed to buy again. I’m glad I did. Before I get into details, here is a great little thread on green snuffs and Kowno in Poland: http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/comment/259850 So instead of sharing all those facts and theories second hand, I’d rather focus on the snuff itself. Is it any good? I think so. But it isn’t an easy one. It has a light brown colour, it’s relatively coarse and also quite dry. It wants to be snuffed carefully because there could be quite a nose burn for some people which puts them off. I would describe the taste as bright. I taste true tobacco without any additional flavouring. The closest description could probably be leather. The nicotine content is in the top half of the spectrum. I have seen people complain about the dryness but I believe this snuff is meant to be this dry and I’d rather adjust myself to it than to say that this tobacco is rubbish. Because it isn’t. I appreciate the old traditional European snuffs that are on the dark side and coarse. They work better for me than the super fine English ones. This one falls exactly into that category for me. No menthol, an equally simple and complex tobacco flavour. Is it unique? Maybe not, other than the fact that it appears to be the last “green tobacco” on the market. Is it special? Definitely. It’s one of those snuffs that I would always tell people to try at least once or twice. It is obscure with an interesting history, it tastes just like a tobacco should, in my opinion, and it belongs right where it is. It’s not a party snuff and it doesn’t need to be hip. If you like the smell of leather, fresh saw dust and simple, honest tobacco, you should absolutely try it.
