Celtic Talisman:
A decadent cherry-vanilla snuff with a rich, dessert-like character. Cavendish tobacco lends a creamy depth, while the balanced moisture delivers a smooth, effortless sniff. The flavor is indulgent and long-lasting, paired with a moderate nicotine strength that satisfies without overwhelming.
A true standout for those who favor fruit-forward blends with a touch of sweetness.
FireDance:
A sweet, berry-forward snuff accented by touches of vanilla and brandy. The aroma is bold and immediately engaging, though it leans more toward a confectionary sweetness than layered complexity. A medium nicotine strength keeps it approachable and easy to take.
Best suited for those who enjoy straightforward, fruit-driven profiles rather than nuanced, deeply developed blends.
Gin & Tonic (G&T):
Samuel Gawith Gin & Tonic (G&T) draws its inspiration from genever, the traditional Dutch juniper spirit once prized as a medicinal tonic across Europe. When French brandy fell out of favor in the 17th century, gin rose to take its place, sparking England’s enduring affection for this restorative aqua vitae and, in time, its natural companion: tonic.
The experience begins with the refined tobaccos at the heart of the blend before drifting into bright fruity and floral notes. A gentle bitterness follows, giving way to a distinctly herbal finish. The quinine-like tonic effect appears in the nose as a lively sparkle rather than a sharp burn, while the nicotine presence is moderate yet pleasantly persistent.
With an intermediate grind, moisture level, and color, this snuff strikes a fine balance between refinement and enjoyment. Bracing, characterful, and undeniably charming, it is best enjoyed with a smile, a pause, and, of course, another pinch. Cheers.
Keswick:
Samuel Gawith Keswick captures the essence of Prunus armeniaca, the apricot, a fruit long favored in English kitchens since the 16th century. Paired with carefully selected tobacco cultivars, this classic fruit note lends a softly plummy, gently savory character to the blend, enhancing rather than overpowering the tobacco beneath.
The snuff is light brown in color with a fine, silky grind and a medium-dry moisture level. Both the nasal presence and nicotine strength are mild, yet the sensation lingers pleasantly, leaving a lasting impression without sharpness. Elegant, approachable, and quietly rewarding, Keswick is an easy candidate for regular rotation in any snuff collection.
