    Apple & Blackcurrant

    Mr. Snuff goofed and sent me 5g of this, instead of the 10g that I ordered. Didn't bother me much at the time, but it does now, because this is great snuff.

    I tried 4 of the 5 new Wilson's varieties this time(the others being Lemon Toast, Whisky, and Brandy), and I gotta say that this one is my favorite of the 4.

    Apple and Blackcurrant, as it turns out, were the perfect pair here. You get the sweetish(but not TOO sweet)tartness of a ripe red apple, and a bit later comes the darker tartness of Blackcurrant. Despite that sweetness and tartness, none of it overshadows the tobacco, and Wilson's nice musty and woodsy tobacco base provides the perfect bottom for this one. Very easy to take, too, and easy on the nose. Minimal burn and the whole nine yards.

    I wasn't expecting a lot of this one, as fruit snuffs are not generally favorites for me, but this can easily be a good all-day snuff, and will be a 25g purchase for me next time.

    Highly recommended. Good job, Sharrow Mills!
