Dholakia Mighty Eagle 10g

I've fallen in love with Dholakia's snuffs. Mighty Eagle's high nicotine content provides a lovely "light bodied" feeling and the aromas are present yet delicate and far from overwhelming to the senses. The only qualm I found was keeping the super fine, lightweight powder from bypassing the desired landing point with the bird flying into the mouth at times, I had to adjust my snuffing technique to a very light sniff to prevent this from occurring. Still, highly enjoyable and a welcoming burn however odd it is to say a burn is enjoyable.

I've tried quite a few fine, dry Indian snuffs in the past, but this one is a bit different. It's got the bone-dry, dusty grind I expected, but unlike the others I've tried, this one has a strong, spicy scent (think cardamom, clove) and a touch of nose-opening menthol to boot. It's a perfect balance of pleasurable, deftly mixed scent and a nice wallop of vitamin N.
