SG Menthol is a well-made menthol and camphor snuff. The contents of the 10g tap box I received were a little too dry, but rehydrated easily. The tobacco is golden brown and the mill is a bit on the coarse side, but, as is usually the case with Sam Gawith products, it's an excellent blend of (mostly) bright Virginias. After the lingering camphor note dies down, you can smell the sweet hay-like notes of the quality leaf. Nicotine feels just a tiny bit on the high side of average.
The balance between menthol and camphor is IMO better than McChrystal's O&G. The latter, although an excellent snuff, leans a little too much toward the camphor side. O&G's tobacco base is much more complex and interesting, however. The SG is simple, but very good, as one would expect from one of the premier manufacturers of snuff aimed toward the working class. Recommended.
