6 Photo - Colonial Club
6 Photo - Colonial Club
6 Photo Colonial Club has a medium grind with moderate moisture and medium nicotine strength. The blend is heavily mentholated with a strong rose note as the primary scent. Secondary notes include camphor, earthy undertones, and incense.
The snuff has a dark brown colour and uses an Indian tobacco base. The menthol component is strong, creating a medicated character that masks subtler background notes. The floral scenting is polarising, with the rose note immediately apparent when taking a pinch.

Dear Mr. Snuff Team,
I hope this note finds you well. My apologies for the belated reply—I only just saw your email. I wanted to let you know that all the products arrived in peak condition and have been an absolute pleasure. I did notice the Colonial Club tins were a touch loose, but they still held everything perfectly, so no real trouble there.
I truly appreciate your quick and friendly service, and if anything ever needs attention, I’ll be sure to let you know right away.
Warm regards,
Clifton Nathanael Thompson
For some reason this blend always reminds me of the garden after a fresh rain. The menthol is just enough to compliment the floral notes and nicotine is adequate. Happy to throw this one in my rotation when the menthol forward blends lack variety.
Colonial Club was one of the first 6 Photo snuffs that I tried when I was first sampling Indian snuffs last year. It may have actually been the first. I honestly can't remember. Whatever the case may be, it is still one of my favorite 6 Photo products and a snuff I keep around the house at all times. Powerfully aromatic out of the tub or tin, it packs a wallop of menthol, camphor, peppermint, and eucalyptus once it hits the front of the nose. Pleasant floral undertones are also present and become more prominent as the menthol fades. Though it is hard to identify the specific floral components of this blend, I am reminded of a combination of rose, lavender, and geranium. There are also vanilla, lemon, musk, and bergamot tones that round out the mix nicely. I frequently get hints of sandalwood, cinnamon, and/or jasmine alongside a soapy presence too. Tobacco character is minimal, amounting to little more than some very subtle hints of black pepper, leather, and earth in the background. The nicotine content seems somewhere between low and medium to me. The grind of this snuff is medium-fine but with a more than respectable moisture level that enables it to sit in the nose very well. All in all, this is a rich, luxurious snuff that one can take all day without any ill effects. Even though it comes off like a mixture of an English medicated snuff, an SP, and a perfumed club snuff, Colonial Club is a great product overall.
The floral tones of this are quite good, though I can’t tell the specific flowers, it’s not important. The cooling menthol, camphor, and perhaps a dash of mint are the most noticeable aspects of this snuff. I don’t know what club the name refers to but who cares? I’d say we are all members of the “Club Snuff”! This is a very good snuff, and chances are that if you buy a tin of it, you’ll verify your membership in the Club Snuff, Snuff Club, or whatever else you associate yourself with.
Reminds me of Irish springs bar soap, very opening on the airways, one of my favorite when stopped up
