Over the past year, I decided to start reviewing a wider range of tobacco products that I enjoy. I love snus, but I've recently started reviewing other products like American dip and nasal snuff. I've used nasal snuff since 2009 or 2010, but I never really reviewed it much until recently. Now, you'll find nasal snuff reviews here at Snubie.com! Today we're talking about
Gawith Original Snuff, a product by Pöschl, out of Germany. This is one I've got quite a few requests for it. I had it a few years ago, but it's been a while so it's been fun diving back into this one again! The
description I found on MrSnuff.com says, "
An apricot and spice mixture wrapped in a light coating of menthol". The tin weighs in at 10 grams.
So, reading the description, you'd think this is an apricot snuff with a dash of menthol. To me, it's mostly menthol with a faint apricot. The note that comes right off the tin is similar to peach. There's a pretty big menthol presence, and a slight sweetness to it. The grind is about mid-fine, and mid-moist. I find this one pretty easy to take, as well. No major throat hit or drip with this one! In the nose, it's mostly menthol. I do notice a little peach/apricot mix in there, but it's not very present. It has a slight sweetness to it, but it's not overly sweet. The nicotine kick feels about moderate, and isn't too strong. In the after-effect, I notice some menthol that lingers for a bit, but that's about it.
Rating and Final Thoughts
This one wasn't bad. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of menthol snuffs, so without the menthol I think I would have enjoyed this one more. The apricot presence is just a little weaker than I remembered. I think if it was more apricot and less (or no) menthol, it would have been much better. I rated it at 3.38/5. However, if you're one who likes menthol snuffs, this one is different from others on the market so you may enjoy it more than I did.
I scored this one from
MrSnuff.com. You can grab it there, too. Use code
SNUBIE to cop a sweet discount.
