I love the combination of mint and chocolate in cookies, drinks, ice cream… So I was very pleased when Wilsons of Sharrow came up with a chocolate and mint snuff. It’s medium ground and medium moist, quite easy to take. Both flavors are there when you open the tin. In the nose, I get a cooling sting of mint accompanied by a sweet, candy-like chocolate smell. It really is an amazing combination. The two smells are strong (the mint does not overpower or mask the scent of chocolate, though) and fade together evenly, so I always smell both. Great snuff! Medium nicotine content.
I been eyeing these new snuff from Wilson’s, I used to be the pioneering type snuffer when I had funds to spend trying everything new to the market. Now I have to be savvy with what little capital availed to me. This Chocolate mint will definitely go on my wish list. Thanks for the review!
I can vouch for @Jernej - this is possibly my favorite mint snuff. The cooling sting is spot on, especially with sweet after taste. It’s the sort of snuff I could binge on all day - like Crumbs Of Comfort - but more potent, more complex and longer lived.
I took my maiden voyage with this snuff earlier today. Don’t think chocolate with a hint of mint, think mint with a hint of chocolate. That blast of mint is not just mint, but the peppermint cream that you find in some after dinner chocolates, and BAM it hits you right in the face. Most mint snuffs do of course come with a tobacco backdrop, but this is almost like it comes served on a cocoa backdrop, wafting through as the initial peppermint cream explosion subsides. As they settle down in the nose, the two blend to become a wonderful minty chocolate scent and I think the balance of these two is spot on! I really like the more subtle minty snuffs like SG Mellowmint and GH Wild Mint, but as regards snuffs that give you a real blast of minty freshness, I have found a new favourite here. The tobacco base is very nice too, but that really only comes through as the mint and chocolate fade. Even as the tobacco eventually starts to make an appearance, the mint and chocolate is still there and all three work well together. Wow! Wilsons have really pulled one out of the hat with this one. Many snuffs change through their exposure to aire though, and it will be interesting to see how this one ages in the tin, and whether that balance remains right to the final pinch. I will definitely be buying this again!
