I was in Crewe this morning and visited an old-fashioned tobacconist, The Pipe Rack. I thought I’d see what they had. They had a few WoS and McChrystal’s including an old, slightly rusted but still sealed tin of Spearmint Plus! So it’s now in my possession.

I’ve got to restrain myself from opening it until I get some airtight containers.

I tried a little this morning. I imagine that the flavours have subsided from their original strengths but they come through after a while. The spearmint is very pleasant with nothing like the intensity of Crumbs of Comfort, which is a shame as I’m very fond of Crumbs. It’s still pleasant though.

It is Spearmint plus Menthol and the menthol overwhelms the spearmint. Crumbs of Comfort is much better imo.

I agree. I misted the snuff with a little water to see if I could bring it to life and the menthol falvour really comes out.
