Using the Latakia style of tobacco in it's base, the A/P is a snuff that has Character with a capitol C!
A/P apparently stands for Abies/Pinus, Latin for Spruce/Pine.
The Latakia represents a particular method of smoking the whole tobacco leaf after it has been dried for flavoring.
The end result in this case is a dark brown, medium to coarse grind, slightly moist powerhouse. The immediate inhalation presents a strong fresh pine scent.
No similarity to certain cleaning products at all!
This to me is the smell of the kerf from a fresh cut tree, the yard of a lumber mill on a hot summer morning.
Powerful live pine!
In the nose the size of the grind requires I give a slight massage to keep it in place. The pine blast backs off enough to let the smokey tobacco of the Latakia through. Again, that old, established tobacco shop kind of smell, the kind of smell that is embedded and will comfort the generations.
Long term, the pine holds front row, refreshing nicely after blowing. Going outdoors, either just after a pinch or quite sometime after having had a good blow, makes no difference. The fresh air revives the pine and the tobacco in a mellowed and balanced whole. Actually taken while outside in fresh air is perfection!
I'd put the nicotine at medium to high. Take care to keep this one up front as the back drip can be uncomfortable. Oh yeah, I'm liking this one with no reservation!
