Mullins & Westley's Black Rappee 20g is a tribute to centuries-old traditions, offering a robust, layered scent that evolves from mild to a deep, complex aroma. With its rich, dark, earthy punch and high nicotine content, it's a standout choice for snuff enthusiasts, delivering a flavorful and authentic experience reminiscent of a cherished, 300-year-old London recipe.
This snuff started off very mild in my nose and initially seemed a bit disappointing, but then it lingered and the layers of rich scent built up. An excellent rich snuff with a great Latika scent involved - I will be enjoying this for a long while. Well worth it!
If you pop a tin of Black Rappee and take the time to admire its pulverized content under direct light, you will notice a certain twinkling buried deep within the black tobacco. Delightful like finding a handful diamonds in a spade of freshly turned earth, what Lucifer reveals is salt from the fire cured brine in which the tobacco is fermented. Rappee (râpé) refers to the Paris method of grating rope tobacco into a course grind suitable for nasal enjoyment. Mullins & Westley’s sour brine Black Rappee presents a burn upon uptake that reveals a high dose of nicotine released from the depths of its peaty moisture. Without perfume or artifice, this snuff tastes like the rich black soil of an Antillean plantation after a tropical storm. All that remains after dissipation is a pleasant salt drip to the back of throat, which companions well contemplative spirits such as barrel aged cane brandies.
