Besides Toque, Wilson’s and McChrystal’s, any other recommendations on very high menthol snuffs? Don’t tell Roderick this, but I’ve been branching out recently and every “menthol” snuff I’ve tried from other brands have been a complete let down. Recently tried F.U.B.A.R Medic, Gawith Hoggarth’s CM and a couple others I’ve already forgotten, none of them had even the slightest hint of menthol to my nose. Basically looking for something that could knock down a horse just by opening a tin.

J

Poschl Red Bull is heavily mentholated with a hint of eucalyptus. I only use it when I get a cold.

S

Hedges L260 ‘The Snuff’ is pretty stout. Also, WoS SM500 and Dynamite might be up your alley. I use the SM500 to add menthol to other things sometimes, it’s potent.

1

I have some L260 on order and look forward to it. In the meantime I really enjoy McCrystal’s O&G

1

hedges L260 spose to be a good strong one, i havent tried it yet… how about sam gawith extra menthol… ?

S

I don’t know if I can actually recommend it… but WoS SM500 is insane.

C

I am really sad that the FUBAR Medi didnt give me any menthol. SM500 was the first snuff I actually loved, next order i will try the Hedges

S

@Cros Wow, that’s crazy!  My tin of SM500 is fear-inducing.  My schnoz does not find it agreeable.  It feels something akin to rubbing hot sauce on my face.  And I thought I was a menthol fan.  =)

C

I have yet to find a menthol that was too strong, my goal is to find it!

S

I’ve never had the WoS SM500, but someone above mentioned WoS Dynamite, and IMO that’s heavier than L260.  …even though you said besides Wilson’s, there’s my 2 cents.  Dynamite is a bit much for me.

S

786  I love L260, McChrystal’s, the various Prisen (Gletcher-, Polar-, and Arctic-), and JIP and can snuff them all without fear; but Samuel Gawith’s English Menthol beat me senseless.  I admitted defeat and gave it to a friend.  It was like my whole nose being encased in ice; I enjoy a good menthol snuff but this was just insane.

It was also six years or so ago fwiw, so maybe it wasn’t as brutal as I recall.

D

Yah, WoS SM500 burns deep! I mix with SM #1 High Mill. McChrystal’s OG is so awesome, but won’t blow your socks off if that’s what you’re looking for.

6 photo medicated 666.

Got the Hedges yesterday, nice and potent, but like the over-all taste of Toque better, have some menthol chrystals that I use with my own snuff making, and going to try basement_shaman suggestion…just kidding, even i am not that hard core!

C

also just tried the Snuff Store strong menthol, a lot like McChrystals but instantly blocked me back up, too much rebound effect

P

Radford snuff. Now made by poschl. That and hedges are the strongest I’ve tried.

C

Ive shied away from German snuff, no real reason, just that the ones ive tried have been less than spectacular. For some reason I trust you guys or at least I am willing to prove you all have bad taste and i will give most of the recommendations a fair shot

S

@Cros I don’t know if it’s to be believed, but the write-up on Mr Snuff says that Magnet Menthol is:

“Probably rightly, it is considered the strongest menthol snuff”

T

I’ve tried nearly all the highly touted menthol looking for that guaranteed wake-me-up/head clearer and haven’t found anything that does the job like Hedges. One that I used for a while prior was Wilsons Super Menthol, and it still does the trick. Because everyone’s nose is different, Radford, Red Bull, McCraig, Lowenprise and such will get the job done for some, but when I want a menthol it’s because I’ve got a head cold, so I want a strong one, 6 Photo Medicated No. 66 being the minimum I require. Did that sound snuff snobbish? Hope not.

S

Super menthol was the first menthol I tried, took my usual sized spoon which holds about a tenth gram, and sniffed. Next moment I was thinking wtf?! Now I use that tin only for blending, one spoon per about 10 grams is nice to my nose heh.

M

WoS Dynamite is my latest favorite menthol, with 6 Photo 666 in second place.

C

Fubar Jungle Mango Menthol

H

Medicated no99 is quite strong as is Wilson’s Extra Menthol.

T

So far it is Wos O&G , I haven’t had a chance to try 6 Photo 666 as yet , they say it is pretty strong although I don’t know that I would need one much stronger in menthol than the O&G , but you never know till you try it I guess! G’Day Gents

H

Hedges ,Ozona President,and also the Six Photo 666

N

Hedges, stuffs so strong when I hold the tin under my nose the menthol fumes burn my eyes

D

Having tried the full line up of mentholated Poschl products(almost redundant as a descriptive word for them lol) I would have to concur with Hedges being the strongest in “cool” factor. Literally feels like an ice block around your nose and has a numbing effect I associate with my more reckless younger days ;). I do think though that Hedges has camphor and some other ingredients besides menthol that add to this, correct me if I am wrong.

A

Which is the strongest menthol snuff in terms of menthol and nicotine kick?

Or which is the strongest between Wilsons Dynamite and Wilsons SM 500 ?

M

The only (strong) menthol that doesn’t clog me up is Hedges L260.

The STRONGEST (in nicotine) menthol is a weird one… it’s not like other menthols.  NTSU Green from South Africa.  

J

@ALLex I think the strongest menthol I had so far was J&H MED No99, very fine grind. Not too strong on the vitamin side tho. You could always mix your fav medicated with some white indian type snuff

D

Red Bull is the most menthol-y one in my book.

A

maybe I ll order some toque bespoke with toque quit base and strong menthol flavor 

I

Can’t speak on Hedges yet, but my go-to facemelters are McC’s JIP and Sturco. The JIP is probably stronger in terms of straight menthol, but Sturco has some other stuff going on that make it a serious wallop. Sturco would be my choice for nicotine too, though with menthols I find nic level hard to judge, since to my nose the burn + nose throb of the menthol mimics the feeling of a higher nic snuff. 

A

What about McChrystals Jip? Has anyone tried it ?

M

It is good. A strong menthol. I think McChrystals said it is their strongest or second strongest menthol-wise.

A

Don’t miss out on J&H Wilson Med No99. High available nicotine as well as menthol on a moist fine base. I love it but can’t handle it like I used to (too medicated). With some Toque Blueberry mixed in it’s a real treat for me

A

What about Fubar Snafu Medicated? I ve read mixed opinions about this snuff.

V

When it comes to the strongest menthol, you are free to set the your own benchmark. All it takes is procuring menthol crystals, eucalyptus essential oil, camphor (or camphor tincture) and pure ethanol for dissolving menthol. And digital 0.01 g precision scales (if you don’t have them yet). 

Make your own. It is easy.

A

@volunge Thank you so much! I ll keep this tip for the future because these days sadly I dont have time to spend on snuff making.
Is camphor in snuff safe? I read that ingesting  camphor  can cause severe side effects and I m thinking of how many times i swallowed a throatdrip. 

This is from a quick google search:

What happens if we inhale camphor?Taken orally,  camphor  can cause trouble breathing, seizures, and death. High doses of  camphor , either  inhaled  or on the skin, can also be risky. They can cause skin irritation or seizures.

A

but again, that seems ridiculous when i think how many snuffs have camphor in them. If it was that dangerous probably they wouldnt put it in. I wouldnt trust myself in putting camphor in my snuff though. I think i would easily mess up the dosage.
