Recently received an order of Old Paris. Upon opening, discovered the tin contained a type of SP not O.P. as labeled. Have never been a big fan of SP but find this to be quite nice the more that I use. Problem is I am not sure of the actual name so it is not possible to order more. Definitely an SP. Medium grind and Medium brown. Nice medium moistness. Best SP I have tried. Any ideas?
Maybe Kendal Brown?
Possible but seems like a straight up SP. I am using KB original as a daily at the moment. Not that familiar with the KB’s or SP"s
WoS KB and F&T KB are nothing like the SG and GH ones (and have no right to call themselves Kendal Brown as far as I’m concerned). Does the snuff have a straight up bergamot scent or a weird soapy scent, if its soapy its most likely F&T or WoS KB (they are both made by WoS and mislabeled tins have been known to happen)
If it has more nose burn than average SP, my guess would be WOS Gold Label. It is made of a different tobacco base (Virginia) than other WOS SPs.
This is a slightly darker colour than Sp’s I have seen. Nose is mainly citrus. I use Tom Buck as a mixer and this is similar but milder. In fact I decided to keep this and use it in my normal Princes / T.B. mix. Also have some Morlaix (and KB original) here that I assume has the style of SP but heavy bergamot aroma. Is this correct?
Maybe WoS Best SP Tom Buck is just a heavier scented Best SP, your description of it being similar but milder than Tom Buck suggests it may be Best SP
Perhaps. I have little exposure to the SP’s other than Tom Buck which I never use by itself. Guess I will have to try them all to make a determination.
