It’s no secret that I enjoy dark snuffs, medium coarse grind. And since there are a lot of people here who have praised this snuff in the past, I thought I’d give it a try. Again, this snuff might be classified as “high end” because it is more expensive, but also of a higher quality and made with seemingly more care than the more commercial brands (if snuff can be called commercial anyway). So just to get it out of the way, in the quality department this snuff ticks all the boxes. When I opened the tin for the first time, the flavour of figs immediately hit me. But here comes the first catch, and a positive one. While some brands use flavours that appear artificial to me - even if they come from essential oils or other means - this flavour smells very natural. What’s more, the appearance of the snuff itself reminds me of figs. Just open a ripe, almost too ripe fig, look at the brown flesh and the brighter coloured seeds all the way through it. The appearance of the snuff seems to mirror exactly that. A very similar brown and a lot of lighter brown bits of other kinds of tobacco sprinkled all over. I don’t think that is a coincidence. I start to think about books of my childhood, Persian tales and sultans and middle eastern emperors, bright colours and flying carpets. The experience in the nose is very pleasant. The snuff is just right if somebody is accustomed to larger pinches or portions. The fig moves a bit into the background and makes room for the tobacco base. It is a dark, earthy flavour that I enjoy a lot from the likes of Bernard and others, but this snuff just feels like the quality level is quite different, better. It’s hard to put my finger on it. Not once do I think “surely that snuff should be a bit cheaper and you would achieve the same result”. As far as front and back drip is concerned, there is almost none, just a little bit. About ten minutes after the pinch the tobacco fades away and a slight hint of fig remains. That’s when I usually start to squeeze and move my nose a bit to wake it up again. Often I find that by that time the snuff has developed other levels of flavour, and the Crème de Figue is one of those. It is also quite easy to add more pinches because this snuff is very forgiving. It doesn’t block my nose or clogs it up, doesn’t scratch in the back of my throat too much and doesn’t have an overwhelming flavour that needs to be enjoyed in small amounts. Would I buy it again? I think so, but not as a permanent staple of my snuff shelf, simply because I am not that big a fan of the fig as a fruit. For me, this snuff is a special treat every now and then and that isn’t a bad thing. It is a very natural snuff with a flavour that feels natural too, which is a big plus. The high quality tobacco base and mixture for this snuff only adds to the same. In closing I want to mention that Google tells me that in Malta fig liqueur is served with nougat. I will definitely try that with the snuff and I imagine that to be very nice.
Love it! Little liquer scent too, but mostly solid tobacco mixing and a little fig! Easy to take! I get big drips from this though, but all part of the ride! Also, i seem to think it gives one of te most relaxing snuff buzzes out there! Must be whatever the tobac is
Very nice review! Now I have another item on my wish list. 
Creme de Figue is an inspired masterpiece and one of my favorites for late evening indulgence with a nightcap of good brandy. It does have a drip, but I actually find that an enjoyable aspect of the experience; it’s not bitter sludge, it’s more like a reminder of what a delightful pinch or six or ten you’ve just taken in succession. When taken in immoderation (difficult not to with such a fine snuff) it will give the room some spins, making the pirouettes down the hall to bed quite fun. Once settled in a horizontal posture the dreams it induces are also pretty damned amusing.
