I just ordered my regular 3 types;Poschel Gletscher Prise,Gawith Apricot,and Ozona Raspberry.
Over the years I have tried most of the snuffs out there and settled on these three.

I've always enjoyed Pöschl's Packard's Club, which is exactly the kind of snuff I like: it basically smells like tobacco, non-mentholated, with a very subtle floral background. The olphactory sense is often neglected, especiallty by men. Never underestimate the ability of a plesant smell to put one in a better mood!

I have never had Gletscher Prisé. I wonder if somebody could give a mini-review.

I'll try in a minute buddy. I have some right beside me. Feeling jittery due to some of the supplements I take. Packards Club, I keep around due to the container it comes in, but it is too purfumey for me.

I would venture to say that if you like Packards You'll like Glecher Prise.

I'll start a new thread, and hopefully I can describe it accurately. I've never been good at describing scents.

Just got a shipment of wide variety, albeit in the smallest sizes... figure it's time to try a few different styles and brands.

Already sampled:
GH Kendall CM (Camphor Menthol) - Very bracing. Will use this one sparingly.
SG Apricot - Maybe a bit too fruity/floral for me. I'll revisit with a clearer head.
Packard's Club - Not bad; in the Gletscher Prise family; like the "single-dose" box.
Bernard Brasil "Double Fermented" - Moist and dark and a bit like a nice maduro cigar wrapper. My favorite discovery, but pricier as snuff goes.
Dholakia Chocolate - This was a lagniappe with the order. Smells like Nutella. Not much tobacco flavor to speak of.

Didn't try yet:
Wilson's Tom Buck
Wilson's Lemon Tree
McChrystal's Original
McChrystal's Clove
McChrystal's Mild Lemon
McC/JIP Medicated

Variety, they say, is the spice of life.

When I was new to nasal snuff I tried one after another just like with
pipe tobaccos.You are always searching for that special "One".After a
few years you settle down with a few favorites.

My first two samples were Ozona President and Kendall SP. SP does nothing for me. I like President so much, I was afraid to try anything else with my second order. I have a good supply now so I'll sample some of the others mentioned in these threads with my next order.

Just got an ounce each of "Dutch Windmill" snuff, Pompadour and Latakia-Peppermint.

The Pompadour is wonderful stuff, medium grind and clove-scented. If you like a perfumed snuff, it's nice. L-P is very unusual... smoky and minty. I sampled both one after the other, and the combined effect was like Xmas in my sinuses. (If I want to complete the effect, there's also a pine-scented lat snuff, yikes!)

Mars Cigars, being a class act, threw in a lagniappe of Tom Buck, which I like already, so jackpot.

Just got a Nicotine Rush order of:

Lyptus Wood PT Snuff Box [This is really nice, pocket-size and American-made. Picture didn't do it justice.]
JH Wilson Medicated 99 Pocket Box
JH Wilson SP No 1 Pocket Box
Bernard Amostrinha 10g ["Take this excellent tobacco for the nose only." A camphor/menthol Schmalzer, very weird and tasty.]
Samuel Gawith Yellow Crest 10g
Dutch Prins Regent 12.5g [Dutch Windmill can do no wrong. Prins Regent is like Macouba + SP, totally amazing.]
Dutch Pompadour 12.5g
Hedges L260 25g [Dear lord, this is a huge tin of snuff. Really hope I like it.]
NTSU - Menthol 14g [This is supposed to be some of the World's Strongest Snuffs... I eagerly await the challenge.]

With it came...
Free Sample: DENTAL SCOTCH [I forgot what the sample was and snuffed a full pinch of American Scotch snuff... thought it was a High Toast style... big, big mistake... actually drooled a little on the floor, I am ashamed to say. The flavor, though, is very pleasant.]
Free Promo: WE Garrett Scotch [Kinda cool to have for the tin art. I need to get a hickory stick to dip this.]

You will certainly appreciate the Hedges if you get a cold or stuffy nose.
Waiting for your take on the Hedges. Shocked

I'm just waiting for one of my bigger snuff boxes to free up so I have room to stow it. The tin is BIG and I can tell the lid isn't too snug.
