SWS version of Dr. Pepper snuff. I love it!

This scent from this snuff lasts about a day, which is excellent. The violet is not overpowering and smells quite natural.

SWS, never fails. Love or dislike one of his snuffs, what can’t be denied is the quality and craftsmanship of this old world style of snuff. This snuff is growing on me. Though it was aged in cedar, I cant tease out any cedar notes. What is apparent, however is the violet. The violet comes across perfectly. It’s slightly more pronounced than subtle, and a far cry from overwhelming. It complements the natural sweetness of the tobacco perfectly. Even thought its dark, the feel is light, with a quietly pronounced violet scent that lingers long after a pinch. For a newbie, this is a great bridge to handcrafted snuffs that are flavored without the overly sweetened accords found in many fruit flavored snuffs beloved by neophytes. Experienced snuffers will certainly appreciate the quality of the product. Recommended for all, and certainly worthy of a second purchase.

As you open the tin and have a smell, you will strongly smell Creme de Violet Liquor. But upon taking a pinch, that Violet becomes a softer, more natural violet that caresses the olfactory senses, bringing memories of past loves and happier times. Then, that scent gives way to cedar and freshly rolled cigars. Its an absolute delight. One of SWS's best in my opinion.

Vitamin N is an agreeable level. Not too strong, but enough to satisfy. Medium to coarse grind and moist, it is easy and even a delight to take.
