Bernard Weiß Blau 10g

While I wouldn't call this a Schmalzler, Bernard does, and such I'll go along. This is some delicious Snuff, It has that signature vinegar base flour that Bernard is known for, dryer than a Schmalzler but moist enough for nose comfort. The perfect amount of menthol with a smokey burnt wood scent. Very nice. I like it!

With the weather turning cold and wet, I have been seeking out snuffs that will keep my sinuses clear, so Schmalzler Weiss Blau has become a dear friend over the course of the past week. Compared to many schmalzlers, this one features a somewhat finer grind and is not heavily oiled. The aroma profile is balanced. Expect a nice but not stinging dose of menthol backed by impressions of smoke, pine, cedar, straw, raisin, prune, earth, and chocolate. Some toots may also reveal hints of peppermint, clove, anise, nutmeg, and cinnamon. The grind is medium-fine for a snuff of this style. The moisture content is more or less medium. Nicotine content is also basically middle of the road, though it can sneak up on you if you are fond of taking large pinches or numerous pinches in quick succession. Overall, this is a balanced, easygoing schmalzler that sits in the nose well and delivers enough underlying complexity to be respectable. It would make a great everyday pinch or a wonderful introduction to scented/mentholated schmalzlers.
