I see Viking has released a sp snuff. Anyone tried it? If I could find a retailer shipping to the U.S. I would be buying it in bulk. Viking is a favorite of mine.
@ermtony stated that Blonde is very similar to SP No. 1 HM.

Indeed. The only difference I have noticed is the price. £2.45 for the HM and £2.95 for the Blonde at My Smoking Shop.
And if that doesn’t make the Out of Context thread nothing will 
Many men do prefer Blonde’s and at £2.95, who could blame them. Right there with you ermtony;)
But have you ever seen a Blonde Viking? That’s a whole lot for 3 quid.
I’d better refrain from comment or I’ll have to ban myself 
I’m really hoping Mr Snuff will pick up the Viking Blond soon.

She’s a whole lota girl to be picking up .
Well Mr snuff is finally carrying Viking blonde. I ordered 3 25G tins. I adore SPs And I have a feeling it will be one I order in bulk in the near future.
I ordered one along with the new Wilson’s and Abraxas. Also picked up a couple others. I wanted to order more but shipping to the States has really got me in a bind.
Looks like my kinda woman. Would have added it to my order if I knew she came with it, lol.
I’m halfway trough my tin of Viking Blonde and I must say I really like it. I don’t get any citrus aroma at all, though. To me, this not a SP. Just pure, nice, virginia tobacco.
Am I alone with this observation? Have I lost my sense of smell?
PS. Same thing with Vikings Dark and Brown - I don’t detect any added flavorings.
According to you,hard to smell SP there,can’t detect citrus .
I wanted to say : I agree with you ,not “according” ,excuse my english sometimes .

No worries! Thanks or your input. Perhaps I haven’t lost my sense of smell, after all.
I can´t detect some of the subtle flavorings in some snuffs (the citrus in the SG - Kendal Brown Original for example, I only get peat & soaked wood) and I´m waiting one 25 g tin of Blonde , as soon as I get it I´ll post my impressions about if I detect citrus or not… if not maybe we can start a “Jaded Noses Club” or something
I definitely get a citrus scent. It’s not strong or overpowering by any means, but it’s there.
I don’t get any citrus out of Viking blond either. I bought 3 25g tins of it expecting I would love it, but the first tin offers nothing special or SP like. I much prefer the dark.I will keep at it and finish it, but It might be ages before the other two cans are cracked open. T hey will last forever in the vac sealed tins so I’m not worried
Thanks for your comments, gents.
Of course there’s the possibility that we are sampling different batches. Sams’ products (at least pipe tobaccos) have been known to have some variance occasionally.
Good quality snuffs anyways.
Edit: "Why does my Best Brown flake has a distinct Kendal Cream aroma?
There are some similarities between Viking Blonde and 6 Photos Natural.Yet natural is a plain,but,announcing lime water.Not so simple… -)
