Time to set aside the fruit salad and chocolate cake and street-walker perfumes.
One of the original recipes from Samuel Gawith, certainly glad I tried this one.
I get no floral at all, nothing other than tobacco.
Rich full tobacco.And that's just fine with me!
If you've ever been in a walk-in humidor at a tobacco shop, or better still,
sat in that old, high back leather chair that was the favored perch of a long time pipe smoker, that kind of tobacco smell.
Warm, deep and comfortable, I now know what snuff is supposed to be!
All the associations you've ever seen made in other snuffs along the lines of earthy, woody, peaty, they're all present in this one!
One of the first snuffs I've tried that I can see getting something larger than 10g at a time!

I can't knock the flavour in any way, but course snuffs just irritate in my experience. Too messy and clumpy for my taste.

Dark brown, moist with a tendency to clump together, and coarsely ground. Kendal Brown is not my favourite style of snuff, but this one has almost converted me. Easy to take compared with the Gawith Hoggarth and F&T examples due to the grind and moistness (there is also much less initial burn). Leather, varnished wood, flavoursome tobacco and a hint of citrus oil, this snuff would be ideal after dinner. My only gripe would be the messiness of dispensing it from the new plastic boxes.

Copies of KB vary enormously in texture, grind, and flavour from manufacturer to manufacturer. The only common theme is Pelargonium graveolens from which Geranium essential oil is distilled. This, however, is the original and genuine Kendal Brown. The recipe and grind is the same as it was when Thomas Harrison first made it in 1792. It was specifically made to appeal to the 18th century English market as opposed to the Scottish market (Scotch). It is therefore gros rather than fin. This famous snuff is conservative, very easy to take and the balance of tobacco and adulteration is perfect. It is recommended to the novice and experienced alike.
**********************************************************
(Kendal Brown is dark and moist and naturally fragrant. I recently received a 10-gram plastic sampler box with light coloured, dry, stale content that was unfit for consumption. The real goods, in my opinion, are now only available in drums.)

A good 'woody' flavour, but for a cig. smoker like me trying to give up,
it doesn't do the trick. If I had never smoked, this would be a lovely snuff.

Darker and coarse, this is the original. It's medium moist and has a delightful light citrus/orange undertone.
