I see why so many people like this one. It's sweet and mellow. About eight years ago I started enjoying tobacco products; I was on my early 40s at the time and had never smoked before. I began with pipe tobacco; I now smoke cigars as well. Like many before me, I initially tried lots of aromatics. I soon discovered they are not my favourites, preferring English blends and Vapers (Virginia/Perique for the unfamiliar with the lingo). Now, came time to try "snuffs". Given all the good reviews, I thought it would be a good place to start. It's not bad, hence the three stars. But for me as said, is too sweet and not bold enough. It stays in the nose forever, which for some may be a good thing (good value for money...), but for me after a while, it gets a bit sickly, to the point that I have to wash my nose to get rid of. I think it is a keeper, but I will probably only have a pinch or two time to time.
As a newcomer to the world of snuff, I was both excited and slightly apprehensive to try Bernard Brazil Doppelt Fermentiert. The double fermentation technique and the German craftsmanship behind it had me intrigued. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint!
Packaging and Texture
The snuff comes in a 10g tap box, which is convenient but leaves me wishing for larger size options. The grind is coarse yet aerated, and the moisture level is just right, making it easy to pinch and enjoy.
First Impressions
Upon opening the box, you're greeted with a complex aroma that's hard to pin down but utterly inviting. The nose feel is present but not overwhelming, a gentle nudge rather than a slap to the senses.
Flavor Profile
The first sniff delivers a burst of dried fruit, with fig being the most prominent. It's like a finely aged wine; there are layers of flavors and scents to explore. A hint of spice adds complexity, and the overall bouquet is rich and fulfilling. Some reviewers mentioned notes of sour apple, rum, raisins, and even black cherry, and while individual experiences may vary, the consensus is clear: this snuff is a masterclass in flavor complexity.
Nicotine Hit
The nicotine hit is moderate but satisfying, a slow crescendo rather than a sudden jolt. It's the kind of satisfaction that lingers, making you appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating this product.
After Experience
The scent and feel linger pleasantly, making you reach for your hanky to enjoy the experience a bit longer. It's a snuff that you'll want to revisit, not just for the nicotine but for the intricate dance of flavors and aromas.
Final Thoughts
Whether you're new to snuff or a seasoned connoisseur, Bernard Brazil Doppelt Fermentiert offers a rich, multi-layered experience that's hard to match. It's a product that invites you to take your time, to savor and explore. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their snuff experience.

This snuff is incredibly rich, the smell is simply wonderful. I am new at this and have only tried a few snuffs, but even someone new to this can tell this is a wonderfully nuanced product. It has a bit of a sting to my nose, but nothing unbearable, and the scent and feel afterwards were well worth it.
