I thought I would start a thread about just menthols. I go to Wilsons Honey Menthol. Sense I started snuffing again, after many years, I found Honey Menthol. That was the first one that I had to reorder. Few days go by that I don’t use some Honey Menthol. Let’s talk about which one ya’ll like.
Magnet Peach
S.M. Blue
I’m not very keen on menthol snuffs but I do like Gawith Apricot and Azono Raspberry a lot. I use it whenever I want to clean up my nose a bit.
Hedges L260 or MacChrystals English Menthol.
Surprised this will be post #7 before this one was mentioned. McChrystal’s O&G
Not a big menthol fan but I do grab a pinch once in a while. Usually McChrystal’s O&G or Gawith Apricot. Looking at the above posts I’m thinking I may need to try a few new ones. Been wanting to try the Hedges L260 and the Magnet Peach sounds interesting. I did grab a big pinch of Wilson’s Raspberry last week and I thought my nose was on fire!
O&G or Wilson’s Raspberry (a very weird and overpowering scent, but I like it)
I will have to get some O&G. Everybody seems to like it. I do like Highland Ice so I think I would like O&G.
First menthol I really enjoyed was O&G but lately I’m just putting a little toque menthol with some of the toque fruit snuffs.
I have been going back and forth about whether I like S.M. 500 but now I decided I like it. It’s my first snuff of the day as it clear my head and always gives a good blow after a 5 or ten minutes. Not that I’ve tried any other menthol to compare it to but it is good. Next I want to try Wilson’s Honey Menthol and S.M. Blue. S.M. 500 followed quickly by a fruity snuff like Apricot is also a nice feeling or have a drink of coffee.
The honey menthol is really nice exactly like Lockets cough sweets lol. Stefan
Yeah everyone says it’s like honey cough drops LOL. Worth trying I guess. [that was to Walrus]
It is snuffbox lol, its well worth trying. Stefan
Although Hedges L260 and McCrystals are my fav. menthols I also like Wilsons Honey Menthol and Cherry Menthol. Anyone like me with a tin on each try a equal mix. A real strong cough drop!
Love the honey menthol. The S.m. blue is a favorite not an all the time snuff but I don’t go a day with out a few pinches. Often first thing in the morning before my tea.
yes it is
Gletscherpriese definetly.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times. McChystals’ is my go to for any snuff. A close second is Red Bull. It’s a very heavy menthol that packs quite a nicotine kick. Great to snuff, sit, and just take it all in. ~Snuffy
Its got to be the aniseed menthol from Dholakia. My take on methols is that for the most part the flavour is hidden by the menthol and its like snuffing some vapor rub, this one is nice and gentle and because its in there very lighlty you get the tobacco flavour and far less congestion. For newbies, menthol can be very congesting - at least for some users. If you want a real head clearer experiment with the plainer toasts or SPs. I thinl O and G is a great classic snuff but when I take it, 20 minutes later my nose is blocked.
I would have to also add that i am starting to migrate towards menthol as my primary snuff. I never like menthol cigs that much and always hated menthol/mint/wintergreen dipping tobaccos. But menthol snuff is a completely different beast. It stays with me the longest in the nose and the scent really wakes u up. So far its Gawith Apricot for me even though im excited to try one of the toasts from Toque to compare to my American snuffs I have.
Hi Grim I was lucky enough to get to sample the new toque toasts and in strength and grind they are very similar to your Scotch snuffs. If you like Stokers, you will like the toque toasts
The thing im excited about the toque toasts is that ive heard they arent quite as dry as the dust scotches ive been using on occasion and have a smell which lasts. I really like my Grapefruit and St. Clements but the smell just doesnt linger long at all for me. So i am excited about getting the toques, maybe they are the mule kick snuffs im looking for.
I promise you a mule kick, its what I look for too, and they also have a long lasting aroma. The grapefruit and st clements dont do it for me but i just got a bag of the raspberry - that is one hell of a snuff, theres the standard toque nicotine level but a really beautiful smell like fresh raspberrys
I would have to say J & H Wilson’s Medicated No. 99. Although I have heard a lot of good things about McChrystal’s O&G I haven’t tried it yet. I’m waiting for the package to arrive.
leman - medicated #99 is under represented here on this site. I do like it from time to time.
It’s Toque menthol for me. I bought a bag of it specifically because I mix it with the flavors i’m not so crazy about. I always mix Grapefruit and St. Clements with menthol and that works really well for me.
toque menthol for pure menthol. i use this to clear my nose. if a mentholated fruit snuff counts then it would be gawith apricot (poeschl).
Truth be told, as much as i like Toque menthol, I almost never do it “straight.” Too intense for my newbie nose.
Wilson’s Menthol Plus for me. I use it at least once a day.
I have a new shipment of Wilsons including S.M. 500, Blue, and Super Menthol. I was expecting more fruit from the Super Menthol based on the description but not getting any yet. Just plain menthol. Kind of disappointing, but I’ll keep at it for awhile.
