Xander hit the nail on the head there…my 6 months of snuffing was spent primarily with American Scotches and the Toque toasts…I didn’t care much for BB my first try either. After finally diving in and trying various other UK snuffs, I came back to BB, and today it’s one of my very favorites…a REALLY nice snuff!!
I’m not liking the soapy scent of BB 
k thanks guys. I think I’ll just store it for awhile and wait for my nose to mature a bit.
Berwick Brown is a new favorite for me
Really disliked bb on my first pinch so I put iit away … after reading these posts I pulled the tin back out blew off the dust lol…and had a pinch then another and another…I think I really. Enjoy this now excellent stuff indeed!!!
Well…I ran my little ten grams through a sieve today. I just couldn’t take the inconsistency of the grind on this one. I don’t know what size mesh I have but I eliminated about ten to fifteen percent of it. Don’t worry I reground the larger pieces for another mix. I’m not recommending it, but for myself, I feel I did the right thing. The larger pieces in the Berwick Brown were just too light for me and would trigger sneezing too easily. The resulting snuff has lost a little bit of it’s original character but the well done scent art remains the same.
I like the larger grain of Berwick Brown, and yes there is some inconsistency, but I haven’t found that to be a problem. Perhaps further hydration would help the sneezing if that is a problem, or do what Juxtaposer did.
Tried this again this morning, I don’t get citrus either, bit to “floral” and “soapy” for my taste …
I like Berwick Brown a lot… and I like it better than any of the Kendall Browns.
But if you like Berwick Brown the KB’s might really impress you.
But if you like Berwick Brown the KB’s might really impress you. I find them totally different, the KB (at least the GW one) does not have any flowery or soapy scent… Its a dark, rich almost smoky tobacco scent … Very nice
I’m trying not to use my Berwick Brown at the moment. The reason is, it’s easily my No.1 snuff, and I will comfortably use it to the exclusion of everything else. Instead, I’m trying to work my way through a wealth of snuff that I’ve been neglecting for a few years. Berwick Brown also changes. Fresh, I find it a little overwhelming on the floral, but after being aired out this settles and becomes very nutty and moreish, and I can’t keep my nose out of it. If I knew then what I know now, I’d have several kilos of Berwick Brown and maybe a kilo of everything else, instead of 400g of Berwick Brown and 8 or 9 kilos of everything else.

8 or 9 kilos? I
I like Berwick Brown but would love it if the cologne-iness were toned down somewhat. @50ft_trad I plan on trying to air it out like you

I’m in the same place with my Ambrosia @SammyD13 . The 25g I got ~6 weeks ago is hard for me to handle because there’s sooo much ‘flavoring.’ My first 10g of it though only lasted a few days. I’ll try airing out a few grams and see if it gets easier. I love the snuff, I just handle much of the aroma. Next time we meet up I’ll bring it with. Maybe I got some leftover of the custom 2x
