We’ve successfully completed the first step in our journey to introduce Brazilian Rapé to a broader audience. A small sample set was exported from Brazil with all necessary paperwork, ensuring it was not smuggled. After several attempts, our agent in Brazil navigated the regulatory hurdles, and the samples have arrived.
However, before celebrating, we acknowledge that this is just the beginning. The export was a person-to-person transaction involving small sample quantities. The next challenge is to achieve business-to-business exports at commercial scales, which involves a new level of bureaucratic complexity. Our agent is optimistic, believing that with careful planning and local expertise, this goal can be achieved. Success here will then allow us to offer the product for sale, albeit in limited quantities initially. This will help us gauge demand. If there is interest, we’ll proceed to regular commercial exports, but that’s a future step.
Experience with Imperio Do Brasil Humaita Menthol Extra Forte
What’s it like? I just tried the Imperio Do Brasil Humaita Menthol Extra Forte, chosen courtesy of customs, who kindly opened the tin for me. Taking a generous amount up each nostril was an experience worth waiting for. This Rapé is as complex as one could hope for—possibly the best I’ve tried. It’s deep, flavourful, fermented, and moist, with a balanced menthol presence that complements the Rapé without overpowering it.
Regarding nicotine content, this snuff delivers a strong punch, which I appreciate. Unlike some more obviously alkaline snuffs, it doesn’t cause tears or sneezing, and there’s minimal drip. The immediate nicotine surge was impressive, prompting me to write this post at twice my usual speed without needing another dose. The “Extra Forte” in the name is well-deserved.
This is an impressive snuff—Sir Walter Scott quality with depth and complexity, combined with strength and ease of use. It might just be a winner. I am going to have to wait a while before trying the next one though, it really is a strong snuff.
Brazilian Rapé Coming Soon
You heard it here first! Brazilian Rapé is on its way to a website near you soon—fingers crossed.
