Samuel Gawith Christmas Pinch

has anyone had this? whats the grind is it coarse and springy like their other products

I have a tin of it but havent opened/tried it yet. Was hopin’ to see a few comments on it too.

i opened the McChrystal’s Christmas tin instead as it said Ian McChrystal put that one together himself.

I like it; it is medium grind in my opinion, somewhat lofty, not dusty at all. 

It’s pretty similar to the grind of their other dark brown snuffs.  It’s similar to Bernard Fichtennadel - that Pine Menthol is great… once in a while for me.  Probably another one you could add to your list of potent smelling snuffs @jeffcraft1.

so far the ones that i would consider to be enjoyable to me because i can smell them is

 WoS , toque rose

Wos and toque lavender

mycchrystal violet

dholakia taj

anise extra -comes in for a few seconds as long as i hadnt smelled it in a while

Wos gold label

Wos Irish high toast 22

Toque plain toast

SNAFU plain

Wos crumbs of comfort extra

Toque berwick browns

i know this seems like there are a lot here but none really linger for long maybe a few minutes but most of them that i listed only last for a few seconds and then i have to go hours with hout having a bit of the snuff that the smelll dissapeard on i cant smell any sp’s whatsoever. i think my next order will be these ones and see if i can just increase my ability to smell them better. so most of the ones that are listed the scent is there i just cant really dectect it too well. everything else outside of my nose i can smell just fine. terribly confused

I like it although it is menthol it fits the pine sent.

It has both pine and menthol. I like it, but don’t use it very often. I like the fluffy tobacco, and though the scent fades fast, it’s still a pretty nice pine scented snuff. 

Hmm … is an odd one for me. Definitely menthol, some pine, but there is a rather large note of cooked processed meat. Odd, not much of a fan.

@Pompeius, " cooked processed meat "? Damn! What kind like ham?

I had a question about the SG Christmas Pinch it’s about the flavors between the SG Christmas(2013) and the one they currently have for sale now(SG Christmas Pinch) I heard the scents where very different. Could/can someone tell me how different they were.between the two? I’ve been searching 4 a sample of the Christmas 2013 blend which they no longer make. Peace and Alohas. :-c

@jmahes A plate of Vienna sausages that had been microwaved for too long.

@Pompeius, even the visual doesn’t sound appealing
