I must admit it, this type was my initial snuff of choice back in the late 60s thru the seventies and still is one of my favorites of all times. I cut my teeth, (now quite dull and many missing…) on "DR RUMNEY"S MENTHLYPTUS’ snuff in the nice lil tin with the goofy looking older man with large sideburns. Ah those were the days. I have tried TOQUES menthol as well as a complimentary Wilsons of Sharrow SM500. I must admit I love the eucalyptus and camphor as well. Menthol is good, but by itself it is like drinking good bourbon without the ice and a slice of lemon. I guess I would have to go with MEDICATED as my choice, but which one? there are probably 8 or so from WIlson’s alone, I am looking for the most scent, and stronger is better in my book. I don’t want something that will fall flat after a few weeks or months. WIlsons has it available in 500 gm containers at a very reasonable price. I tried getting some bulk snuff from McChrystals but it was much more expensive. Which Wilsons fits my criteria? I bow to your expertise one and all…thanks
Dr. Rumney’s Exclusive Menthol. Its a SA snuff and is amazing. Moist, med grind, just the right burn. Its my all day, go to and make it through snuff. Mr. Snuff has it in 5g for 1.99 and it is worth every penny.
anyone try the new brown plastic container dr rumneys EXPORT snuff? supposedly it is what was listed as the snuff Brad Pitt used in the movie, INGLORIOUS BASTARDS… I swear it was a nice wooden french snuff box though. I used to own one like it.
@graybeard19: I love that snuff. Anyone who likes medicated snuffs should try it sometime.
For me, it would be Hedges. First pinch of the day…every day.
When I am not sick it would be WOS Honey Menthol or GH CM, but when I am, it is SM Blue.
I don’t like many menthol snuffs, but I love Wilson’s SM Blue. SM 500 is a close second. The eucalyptus tones down the menthol just enough to make it enjoyable to me. I wish MrSnuff carried Blue in bulk.
I actually begin to like medicated snuffs more and more… A few of my favorites : Dholakia Medicated Medicated No99 from J&H Wilson Toque Menthol Toque Peppermint
Toque Menthol for me.
Pall Mall
S.M. Blue and J&H Wilsons Medicated No.99 in the big tins. Though Dholakia medicated is a close second, especialy since it’s not too strong but not too weak to consider medicated. Toque menthol while fine is just too weak in my opinion. when I want medicated I want nice strong medication.
J&H Wilson’s Medicated No.99, with 5 Photo Himalaya as a close second. Just had a pinch of the Wilson’s a few minutes ago. I can breathe again!!!
A pinch of Gawith Hoggarths Eucalyptus, Followed by a pinch of WoS Camphor and Mild, Both from a fresh tub! Just what the doctor ordered. And of course the old standby, a little Toque Whisky and Honey.
Wilsons of Sharrow Honey Menthol!!!
McChrystal’s O&G.
i can advice everyone to try a pinch of SINGELTON´S SUPER MENTHOL or (a totally diffrent kind of snuff) MC CRYSTAL´S ENGLISH MENTHOL. both are fav´s of mine when it comes to menthol snuff.
Digging around in the freezer I came up with a snuff I have had for some time but not tried, Amostrinha by Bernnards. This has the most camphor of any snuff I have tried laid over a medium ground schmalzler. It is quite nice and very medicated.
Yes, Amostrinha is great and very messy when pinched!

I would suggest SM Brown or SM 500 for snuffs along the eucalypti vein.
