@ Bigmick: not mild. Moderate. I consider Hedges & Sturco both strong. Mild I would say Gawith Hoggarth M4X. O&G is in between, so its moderate. Of course there are some that have just ridiculous amounts of menthol in them.
Mild Menthols: GH Spartan, M4X, Samuel Gawith CCC, Richt Kind etc. Medium Menthols: GH CM, Toque Fruit menthols, O&G, Poschl Gawith Apricot, Prime Minister etc. Strong Menthols: JIP!, Sturco, Hedges, Wilsons SM range etc. That’s how I would classify my menthol snuffs anyway.
SG Mentholene is nice mild one.
S.M. Blue. Honey menthol. Raspberry. Are all great snuffs. The raspberry saved my life once. Not really but I had a terrible flu which gave me a symptom I like to call pudding lung (yeah it’s like having pudding in your lungs but it doesn’t taste good.). When I did a pinch it help me decongest wonderfully. And it’s got a great tasty scent.
Honey Menthol is quite over-powering for me. i prefer Country Mint. i know, I know - not menthol.
I haven’t met a WoS menthol I didn’t like, tho the Licorice Ice was a bit out of my realm. I honestly can’t tell if O&G and Highland Ice are the same. Xander may be correct in his assessemnent tho my nose is unable to distinguish a difference. I love both of them so who cares? I also love the Mc"C’s English menthol, tho I admit this is a bit off topic. Toque Menthol is very brutal in its nasal assault and makes a fine mixer or a distinct product imo. Also, I’d have to put Medicated No. 99 in the high menthol category based upon the experiences I’ve had with it to date. But that’s just my opinion. Others may differ.
To ressurect this old thread - Vanilla Ice is probably my overall favourite, it’s quite a strong menthol blast but not too overwhelming, with a lovely vanilla scent, which lingers for quite a while.
Honey Menthol and Cherry Menthol are also delightful, though as @Spyro says above, “I haven’t met a WoS menthol I didn’t like”. In fact I like all the different Wilsons snuffs I’ve had in different ways, but Vanilla Ice is the one I’ve bought the more of.
I have six tins of honey menthol. So yea I like it a lot. I just tried vanilla ice and that is very tasty indeed. Have not popped open the tin of SM blue yet but have a feeling I will like it. The extra menthol is powerful stuff but for me is lacking some flavor in the back ground.
sm blue gives me a smokey sweet smell but i cant identify why
I love WoS Ripple as one of their menthols lovely flavour that lasts a good time
