This has made me realize, I prefer dark, moist, fine powdered snuffs. I will have to remember that in the future. This smell.. Ive smelled this exact smell somewhere before and i cant remember where. Its a bit similar to standing next to somewhere that sells incense, but with menthol. Its incensy, but not specific. If youre not fond of this type of thing though, it might slightly remind you of cleaning supplies. Either way, amazing bargain too. The tin is huge
I know many people don't like black snuffs and say they're too perfumed, but they're my favorite. Motia is no different. Strong nic hit, very perfumed with incense smells. Top note of jasmine, then camphor and musk with that earthy smell in many Indian snuffs. Think there's patchouli in here too.
Very black and moist. Camphor top note with a perfumed scent. Easy to take and doesn't make you tear up since it's more camphor than menthol. Recommended!
For some reason this reminds me of my childhood either it's the camphor or the light scent of incense with the menthol kicker. I absolutely love this snuff infact I love it so much I just ordered it again and will continue to. 5 out of 5 must have
When I was a kid, there were night blooming jasmine bushes growing in a hedge in our backyard. This wonderful snuff has the exact scent, mixed with a healthy amount of menthol. Black, moist, and easy to take, I like it a lot. That said, it may be a bit much for those used to traditional English or German snuffs. It’s unique in the Indian snuffs as it’s almost a pure jasmine scent, and btw, goes well with a cup of jasmine tea!
I've become a fan of these perfumed and mentholated Indian black snuffs. All seem to be subtle variations of the same theme. Therefore there's one for the individual preference. With Motia, I get a moist snuff, with mild tasting tobacco, that has the scent of damp linen, unlit incense and of course menthol. Motia to me, seems to have a bit more menthol than some. Nicotine is strong, and the overall effect is lasting. If you get the 8gm, decant it into a bigger container. Motia seems to improve once loosened up, and aired out a bit.
First impression: Jazmin. A touch of camphor, and patchouli I think. Burn a little but don't bother. Very fragant. Very moist but easy to take. Recomended.
I first tried this Indian black in the 8g tub. The main note then was of lime,so imagine my surprise when I tried the 30g tin. The main note of this snuff when fresh is cinnamon. It is also slightly mentholated but not overwhelmingly so. You can expect this snuff to change its profile as it ages in contact with air as the cinnamon note is lost. No matter though as I found both thoroughly enjoyable.
If you have tried other dark floral snuffs from India,than this one will be a pleasant surprise. It seems perfumey at first, but it immediately calms into a camphor tobacco smell. It is strooooooong. Boy does it have a lot of camphor. Perhaps a small hint of patchouli as well. I'm the type to shovel mound after mound of snuff in,but this one I only seem to need two pinches per nostril. As far as being a more subtle of the traditional Indian dark snuffs, it's about as close as you can get to a schmalzler. I give it a solid 9/10.
Nag champa? Patchouli? Musk? Definitely incense-y. Maybe a little floral hint, rose? Just a smidgen of camphor? I dont think im too good at identifying particular scents, i mostly notice the overall ambience. And this i like, but i like my nag champa and other good indian or eastern incense. Lingers a while too, which is nice. I like doing a hit of a snuff that lingers and taking a walk and get distracted and notice like 10 minutes later that im still smelling it. Not too strong of a nic hit here and not too much of a burn. Slightly moist and very fine.
Recommended if you like indian incense
Not for me at all. I had forgotten that I had tried this a couple of years ago. Last time the smell put me off right away and I put it in the bin. This time I tried it, but was left trying to rid myself of its lingering smell for quite some time. I find it to be a sickly sweet smell. Glad I only bought the 8 grams. I will stick to the Medicated 6 and 66 from now on. I will say if you like a moist, fine, complex perfume smell that lingers even after you have blown your nose this may be to you liking.
Alot of people have called this the black snuff equivalent to Bernard Zwiefacher, and I can understand that. The camphor is vaery sweet but unlike most of these vlack Sphoto blends, the tobacco scent is right there in the immediate after smel. More than Zwiefacher even. Even the musky undertones are tobacco based rather than an oily incense musk, qnd without that overbearing paraffin wax based mildew-like afternotes that black snuffs tend to overdue. Nicotine is 6/10. I definitely recommend this product for people not yet adjusted to heavily spiced indian snuff and snuff connoisseurs alike.
It's rich and dark full of exotic flavors strong but easy to Snuff I'll be getting a big can of it soon as I can the nicotine comes on like a magical spell think I'm talking s*** come give it a try it's all I can say it's really good.
An amazingly sweet and perfectly subtly mentholated snuff. This is what I love about most of the six photo snuffs. Their menthol level is adequate and do not have the menthol rebound for me. I love the camphor tone in this.
Clears the nose well. A good one for the collection and I'll add this on my next order for sure.
Motia is an excellent black, nicely scented snuff with an hint of camphor or menthol in it. It is a light scent, and not overpowering to the senses. Very relaxing in the evening, I find myself reaching for it before I go to sleep, the nicotine level, in my opinion, is moderate. It has a cooling effect on the nose that seems to clear my head without producing a large amount of discharge. The throat drip is pleasant and cooling.
The first time I ordered, I got two of the tiny little plastic 7gm tubs. I realized quickly I would need to get this in a larger size. This is one I will keep going back to as part of my daily rotation. I recommend trying it if you haven't already.
