This snuff is dark and a medium coarse grind. While I can’t identify the listed scents, tonka bean and vanilla iirc, the cheroot tobacco is sweet, and it’s salty, and has an overall nice scent. It brings out to mind, at least for me, the feeling of the Caribbean, and I can imagine Friar Ramone enjoying something similar, back in the days of the Spanish Conquest of the New World.
Whether it’s the grind, or scent, or nicotine level, this is a unique snuff. With a sweet tobacco aroma, and moderate moisture, it’s a pleasure to take, easy on the nose with minimal burn. The nicotine hits you quickly and builds up over time, so don’t overdo it. A very moreish snuff, it’s perfect for all day use, or as a nightcap. Highly recommended!
Almond vanilla sweetness, don't know care about tonka beans . Have a collection of SWS this one hangs in the nose longer than others.
Favorites are Roslein , Anson Imp , 50/50 that barn fire latakia blend makes me crazy it's so good.
Harmony of good tobaco with tincture made from Tonka beans and Vanilla pods, brings to mind something resembling cacao, or gently coffe? Not bad.
really is quite nice, the scent reminds me of captain black original pipe tobacco. It's hard to stay away from this one. The description is accurate regarding the scents of this great snuff

This snuff smells great and I love Sir Walter Scott's snuffs however for me this is FAR too coarse. It is so coarse I don't really like sniffing it. I have however been smoking it in a pipe by putting a pinch or two on top of the tobacco in my pipe. This snuff smells amazing but unless you like a very, very coarse and moist snuff then this is probably not for you. I even tried to grind it and it wouldn't really grind (I tried with both a mortar and pestle and a bladeded machine grinder.) This grinding did not help very much.
A very good offering from SWS, but not as pleasant as some of the others. Was expecting more "kick" and a rawer, stronger flavor profile from a cheroot-based snuff. Effect is somewhat more bland than would be desirable. However, has all the excellent characteristics in the nose as do other products in this line.
I'm just now trying this latest creation from Sir Johnny and am unable to stop myself from reaching for my snuff bottle filled with it. I get the flavor of cigar blended with a Sumatra tobacco with a wonderful top note of vanilla. The tonquin is very subtle but provides a nice finish. All in all another masterpiece from a gifted artisan. I'm glad that I picked up the 50g tin.
