The original Spanish Jewel was the most potent of any snuffs I have ever tried…how I wish it were still available. These days Dholakia White does it for me.

nothing really anymore… but if menthol is a strong anesthetic then it might be taking it away from me as I use a lot of hedges straight or doped schmalzers with it. I find it a bit of a waste as hedges is actually stronger than the nose can perceive/handle and still has spunk when its ejected. I honestly don’t see a reduction in strength when mixed 50/50 with something else.
F&T Macouba, several hefty spoons to each nostril. Delightful!!
“actually stronger than the nose can perceive/handle”
A very intelligent observation in my opinion.
To lightly medicate a home blend I use 1 part menthol: 50% Hedges would taste like flavoured Hedges and, yes, be more than the nose could fathom.
My favourite home blend menthol, very simple, is 1 part O and G to 10 of Tom Buck.
@Gentleman Where are you in the South East? I’m in Brighton, and Burkitts there have a good selection - including Wilsons Best SP in 12.5g portions from the bulk tub.

WHITE ELEPHANT---- VERY STRONG

@sloth357 I was in Burkitts the other day!
@Theatre Are you based in Sussex, then? My increasing TAD means that it’s unlikely ever to happen, but it’s nice to know that there is a local shop that will sell me reasonable snuff if I should ever run out.
On topic, by the way, my favourite snuff is still WoS Jockey Club!
@sloth357 Yes Brighton. There’s 2 shops in the town that sell the popular menthols, but Burkitts has a better selection. I like going to tobacco shops much more than the internet but the choice that’s available online means that it’s a rare occurance to get to visit them.
Small world, I’m down in maidstone and have never even thought to bother looking for snuff in a bricks and mortar shop around here

We don’t have a single proper tobbaconist left in Maidstone as far as I’m aware. Used to be one on the high street but even that’s turned into another convenience store.
still a newbie so limited in experience, but I do like the zing I get from Toque SP Extra
Lorillard Sweet Scotch
Nice ^
