@JosephJames try getting it in the tin next time. @ar47 is correct that the scent can vary. I believe it depends on age and whether the seal is tight.
Elmos has become a part of my snuff rotation. Along with FireDance and Celtic Talisman. All three are delectable!
I loved Elmos for about a week, although it was one of the few that made me sneeze. Bought both the tap box and 2 tins. Now I really don’t like it. I can only take in once or twice a year. I gave away one of the tins and the tap box and other tin are in a jar that will likely be binned if I need the space. My nose just does not like it anymore.
I’ve noticed considerable batch variations with Elmo’s. When fresh, it has a varnishy, shoe polishy scent. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it thing. When not fresh, the scent can be pretty bland.
So sad I had to knock this off my order. It’s okay I will do another order come end of the month. Get a few others on my wish list
Any tobacco product named after a customer has a strong tendency to be an odd one. More of a some people love it others loathe it type.
