This is a light brown, demi-gros snuff with medium nicotine - basically the standard Wilsons flour that many of their snuffs are based on. The sherry flavour is very light and probably most users would be unable to distinguish sherry in a blind tasting, but the flavour is distinct - if not immediately recognisable - and is very pleasant. The most accurate description I could give would be a slightly tart, berry like flavour. If you spend a day in it’s company you could find yourself falling in love with it and when I got my half-pound jar I ended up using it exclusively until I got to the last 50g or so. At which point I made a half and half blend with some WoS No 20 toast, which proved to be a good move as it gave some character to what I consider to be a very undistinguished and misleadingly named toast (it tastes exactly like an SP). So, it is also a useful blending snuff and would rejuvenate any plain, medium snuff that had been allowed to dry out and lose flavour. If you had a small amount of snuff that did not warrant an attempt at re-hydration I could see this bringing it back to a useable level without the need to add water as the sharp flavour would breathe some character into it . This is a good snuff to have in your collection and would suit a rotation that had SP, toast or US Scotch snuffs dominant in it.

This is the only snuff I’ve instantly hated. I would describe the scent as tart, sour, and boozy. Having it in my nose was like being stuck in a lift with an unwashed drunk. I’ll have to give it another try at some stage, but as yet I have not been able to summon the courage necessary to do so.
