Kendal Brown Plain is a dark-cured snuff made from Virginia tobacco, with no added flavouring or scenting. The grind is medium-coarse and the snuff is medium-moist. Tasting notes include earth, leather, natural tobacco, and smoke, with the aroma building gradually. Nicotine strength is medium.

The colour is dark brown. This is a natural-type snuff, where the tobacco itself is the source of the flavour rather than any added scent.

Very nice plain cured tobacco. No added flavours here. I get pipe tobacco, leather and earth. Good burn. Medium to high nicotine. Highly recommend.

Samuel Gawith Kendal Brown Plain 25g

Dark, non-cloying, rich tobacco. Not for those times when you need a quick pick-me-up; more for the leisure hours when you want to slow down and savour a fine flavour.

Medium-low nicotine, but that isn't really the point of this one: it's the characterful tobacco that this one focuses on, and Sam Gawith do that very well indeed.

According to their web site, SG make this from a single tobacco base and use a light citrus scent, though it's the tobacco rather than the citrus which dominates. It takes a little while for the aroma to develop in the nose (and for this reason it's best taken when no trace of stronger-scented snuffs remain there), but this adds to the overarching sense of the natural tobacco which this one carries.

Reasonably moist, nevertheless this is a coarse grind so be prepared to have grains scattered on and around you. This one doesn't clog and taking it is, in all respects (save perhaps for the low nicotine), an enjoyable experience.
