I just opened my 3 year-old tin of WoS Rum and Blackberry, and there was still a hint of ammonia in the aroma. After about a half-hour of the tin being opened for the first time, I took a small pinch. I didn’t get any rum whatsoever, and the blackberry was not overpowering but certainly was there. I like the “nose-feel” of this snuff; I experienced very little burn, and what scent there is lasted a good while. It’s nice to know that the unopened, fresh can survived so well over three years’ time. It’s also nice to know that there are understated fruit scents out there, as sometimes an overpowering fruit taste isn’t what I want. This one goes into my regular rotation as of today.
Bringing this one back to life!
I recently acquired a tin and absolutely love it. Totally totally totally agree with @snuffbrant . Toque wild berry was my favourite berry flavoured snuff and i since trying this i love it! i tiny bit of rum, the same with the rum and raisin, but the blackberry is so nice and actually spot on of a scent!
Going to have a few nostrils full before i get in the bath :)
WoS Summer Berries is/was fantastic but sadly no longer available. I like to the Toque offerings but the scent is subtle and fades quickly.
Rum and Blackberry was superb, and I’m sad to see it go. Summer Berries had a great scent, but something in it disagreed with me, and every pinch gave me a migraine like headache. That one I don’t miss.
