I usually take 2 different tins with me each day. Something menthol with one of the Rustica flavors. I haven't decided yet but this one is probably my favorite. I alternate between this vanilla and the cranberry though. Sometimes I opt for the orange but vanilla is definitely better.
Very fine grind and very dry so inhale it lightly. I often follow up a strong menthol with this one.
I am particularly interested by the enjoyment of food with snuff. I believe that tobacco is the lost art of the table and that its consumption with repasts enhances epicurean pleasures in a similar manner as the selection of alcohol. Before anti-smoking legislation legitimately came into place to protect our collective lungs, tobacco was consumed before, during and after meals in the form of cigarettes, cigars and pipes. Being buccal pleasures, it is incontestable that tobacco affected the enjoyment of meals. I often wonder how traditional seasoning was influenced by the consumption of tobacco. My quest is to find snuffs that enhance the enjoyment of food. I call these “foodsnuffs.”
JNF’s Indian Rustica “Jack” is such a foodsnuff and is particularly suited to the closure of meals, either as an enhancement or replacement of dessert. At first address, this finely ground taupe-coloured snuff smells of Madagascar vanilla and English custard. Upon uptake, its sweet irradiant burn ebbs into flavours of scraped vanilla, egg custard, nutmeg and clotted cream. It recalls flan, crème anglaise or the vanilla sauce served with luftwaffles or strudel. Sustained by an insomniac’s measure of nicotine, “Jack” is a welcome addition to any late-night pudding menu.
Barley if any burn the first thing that hit's is the flavor of fluffy marshmallow's, With a hint of bomb Vanilla. The nic hit comes on differently being the type of rustica. All n all a almost sickly sweet marshmallow cream poof.
There isn't much to say about this one. I don't find the base of this line to be anything to write home about however there are probably plenty of people who would love it. With that said the vanilla is there and is a pleasing aroma that seems to pair well with this base
