If you wanted to add a hint of menthol to any pinch of non-menthol snuff…even to a Scotch, which would you suggest ?
Toque Menthol !
I second Toque menthol. Pure menthol.
J&H Wilson’s Medicated No. 99 or Hedges L260. They’re a bit stronger than the Toque IMO.
i havn’t had the toque menthol, but i do like the dholakia medicated as a straight up menthol
I like using Toque Menthol as a menthol add, you do not need to use very much as it can be overpowering if not carefully added little by little until you get the desired result.
I do not have any Toque Menthol, so I use O&G which is “softer” than the Toque. Hedges L260 is very nice but strong, so be careful when adding that.
I would use SM 500 as it’s very strong and doesn’t have additional flavors.
With all respect to leman I would not use medicated 99 as its got camphor in it and would not be a neutral flavour. I would agree with Toque as its a very simple menthol. Ive also had good results with Sparrow cool and found it really good mixed with SP.
I just opened a can of JIP! for the 1st time yesterday. It’s very soft and strong. I guess a slight dust of that into anything would menthol it up.
I have ground up and sifted one of the Dholakia’s Lajaweb sampler packets you can get from MrSnuff. I did this a few days ago and then left it sitting inside the (closed) little plastic pink pill box I ended up using for it. Its still kinda moist I’m testing it for the first time right now, scooping little edges of the czech tool spoon onto the back of my hand. first observation is that this way anyway (havent’ tried it in its intended manner by mouth) but this way anyway it has an interesting mint + poo smell. Its still very moist. I’m not a big fan of menthol (well or of poo either for that matter) but the menthol is very weak even my my standards and the other is a barnyard kind of poo smell. I bet its high in nicotine content. This might be a good mixer for other things
I second the WOS SM500 to mentholate other snuffs. Start out easy. You can always add, you can’t take it back out.
SM 500 is eucalyptus too and the flue cured base is not neutral in my opinion. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be good. The highly esteemed O&G would be good too.
I find that Toque Menthol, McC’s O&G, Sturco, Hedges L260, WoS SM are all good plain menthols, suitable for mixing with other snuffs.
Toque Menthol is the best straight menthol snuff I know of. O&G has too many other flavours really.
