Pretty nice, a bit too mentholated for my taste.
**PURCHASED IN THE ASSORTMENT PACK**
This blend is stronger than the original McChrystal's blend. It's got more menthol, and definitely more kick to it. Opening the tin? An immediate punch of menthol, and it sticks to the inside of your nostrils longer, and immediately opens up the sinuses. Once the sinuses settle, the hint of tobacco certainly starts lingering, but each inhale is complimented with a very strong and icy menthol. Going in, it's surprisingly smooth for how much menthol it's got. Sinuses backed up? Can't breathe through your nostrils? This'll clear em out. Over all 5/5. If you love menthol, this is your go to
The 2nd tin I finished so far. Once again if you love menthol this 1 is for you. You can take it all day has a nice base flour that lingers in your nose in between bumps great with some beers! So cheers!
Olde English was the very first I had ever tried, and I don't think I would have explored more if it weren't for the smooth and easy menthol flavored snuff. The best entry snuff anyone can ease into.
Better than Original and Genuine, in my opinion. Very similar to Highland Ice, but better. Great moisture without being sticky. Good nicotine. Also similar to "Jip!" but without being so sweet. Love the mintyness!
Great stuff. Just buy it. It's worth it.
This is one of those snuffs that is almost too easy to take. McChrystal's seems to make a lot of those. Expect a fine snuff with medium moisture and nicotine contents and balanced menthol. Though not overpowering, the menthol is very present on the nose, gradually fading to reveal impressions of camphor, pine, and fir. There is a slight lemony presence too and solid notes of earth, leather, and chocolate from the tobacco(s). Unlike the other McChrystal's snuffs I have tried, there is a bit of a barnyard funk to it and something that I can only describe as a hay bale aroma, but neither scent is unpleasant. Both actually add to the experience. If I could compare this snuff to anything, the obvious choice would be McChrystal's Original & Genuine, though this is a brawnier, meatier snuff with a bit more of a punch. Overall, this snuff is a great bridge between Original & Genuine and McChrystal's other mentholated snuffs.
I purchased the 12 mini sample pack and I have tried most of the flavors so far.
This is a fantastic very mint menthol that lasts for a bit longerthan the others I've tried except for Glacier. With a fine grind and a nice medium nicotine hit, it's an all day everyday flavor.
I do end up blowing my nose more because like Depeche Mode said "I just can't get enough!!!"
Olde English is a nice hit of both menthol and camphor, bracing like the smack of cold aftershave. It is fresh and serves the same purpose as brushing your teeth first thing in the morning. I use it to clean my nasal passages between flavoured snuffs as a way to re-establishing the baseline. Without bite, it is a good daily pinch that puts a spring in your step and awakens all of your senses.
I received this one in the assortment variety pack of McChrystal's. It was one of the last ones I tried and I think it might be my favorite right now.
The hit is heavy on the menthol and can make my eyes water, especially first thing in the AM. It wakes you up. The menthol is stronger than Highland Ice but without the after-note of leather, it's a fluffy-ish yet fine grind with light moisture.
And the fresh sensation lingers like your cold breath while taking a brisk walk through the streets London on a late winter evening. Definitely worth trying.
Great menthol taste, but can't do it on a regular bases. Menthols tend to cause swelling in my sinuses. I love this snuff just have to use it sparingly.
