Well, this one is a winner. I just bladed some, and after grinding, it is just like a spicy American Scotch to me. Real smokey BBQ like flavor, with a undefinable spice component. No burn, easy to take, not sweet like a Rustica, and does not seem to drip. Nicotine is all there and not shy. This is just straight ground leaf, no changes made to the base PH. I am impressed that a freshly rendered leaf can make such a well behaved snuff. To me, not far from a W E Garrett, no burn though, and although this snuff is dry, does not assault the nose like a processed dry PH altered scotch. I will grind in some wood ash to see what that does to the Nicotine uptake, but it is fine as is as far as I am concerned. This should make a great blender with a Latakia, or one of the Bernard’s, Cardinal or Virginia. Certainly one to try just for the novelty, easy to work with, and good base tobacco as is. Surprising!

The description is sort of reminding me of Stitch’s Thai Tobacco Snuff.

My first impression was the green tea scent backed by a middle note tobacco wheat body. A simple strong tobacco ideal for blending. It’s ready to go, no mellowing necessary. I’ll try a couple of tricks on it to bring out it’s full flavor. Glad to have it.

I thought loose tobacco would be the one thing you could ship, since it is neither smokeless nor cigarettes?

I can get the Green tea scent, what I mostly get is wood smoke. One things for certain, it is easy to sniff, What is your take on the Nic? I find it strong.

I’m getting a sweet floral (Oriental tobacco) scent up front now with a smokey tea back note.
