Laxmi Gulab Sihori snuff 40g

My first experience with Indian snuffs was a half and half experience. I love 6 photo kailash but couldn’t bare the dung scent I noticed in it. Fast forward many years and I finally try this snuff by Jana Naswar. Uncle Squinty is correct in saying there is little natural tobacco scent but rather complete and total Indian spices. I notice immediately white rose and incense. Despite the dryness and fine grind, the snuff feels very cooling and easy to take (for an experienced snuffer) off the back of the hand. For beginners I still suggest the same method of taking. Great burn to it, 10/10 aroma, as if I’m in a garden library with incense burning at the far edge. Great nicotine too. What a beautiful snuff. I have tried at least 100 different snuffs and this will be purchased again and again and again. I highly recommend trying Jantas sample pack, which includes this snuff as well as Dragon Madras.

Reminds me of shaving soap, that kinda powdery scent. Super fine grind, its like confecionters' sugar level fine, reminds me a lot of American scotch snuff. Hard to sniff, but pinching and placing in my nose works fine and delivers a decently lasting scent. Dont really detect much menthol despite the description, but thats fine with me. And on the American scotch snuff, and the companies recommendation for oral use, my experience: This is where the menthol comes in. I put just a bit of it in my bottom lip and it immediately started to feel a bit frosty, like a light mint. Not much flavor otherwise and dissolves fairly quickly. Overall, a very pleasant snuff, I like the clean soapy scent, though the grind is a bit too fine and can lead to some irritation.
