As far as fruit snuffs go, this Wilsons of Sharrow Apri is very middle-of-the-road. If you like lightly fruited snuffs, this may be the trick for you; however, this snuffer prefers the more bold formulations found elsewhere.
Apri is labelled to be an apricot fruit snuff, and from the tin there is a very mild apricot scent that is held back by a very light 'must'. From this initial hello, a pinch reaffirms the introduction — a dusty apricot is what this nose picked up on. Unlike Summer Harvest, the fruit scent here is much milder in its presentation, and the tobacco scent, a darker brown, is firmly in front when pinched, with only the faintest touch of apricot sprinkled in. The bold scents of Sun Blast, or even WoS Ripple, better capture the fruit scent as described. This grind and mill has produced a fine and lightly fluffy presentation. This is not powdered, but leans to the finer milling. The moisture content in my tin was very dry. There was no visible clumping, but some moisture appeared once pinched. Nicotine is modest; several pinches may be needed if you have a Vitamin N tolerance. Use is intermediate: the dry nature, fineish milling, and fluff may be blown off the hand if not careful, and there is no menthol to cut any irritation.
Perhaps my tin was not the best example of this, but as of now, this snuff will be placed away.
