Sir Walter Scotts - St James Parish Blend

Albeit a bit difficult for me to sniff without getting some scratching my throat, I really love the complexity of the bouquet of aromas that St. James Parish blend brings to your nose.

For me it’s a heavier, muskier smell that has some kind of earthy, leathery hints to it in the best of ways. I find myself going back to this can every other pinch.

The texture and color is fantastic too. It’s fine but not overly so, soft, not too dry…

It’s expensive but you can definitely feel how much thought and care goes into creating SJP so it’s very worth it IMO.

St. James Parish Blend is a fine mix of 3 types of Virginia leaf, Punjabi Rustica and the Louisiana specialty Perique. The tin note is wonderfully sweet from the Virginias and there is a slight whiff of vinegar from the Perique. The Virginias are tangy and fruity and actually being an avid Red Man Original chewer this smells and tastes quite similar - I would attribute it to the Virginias and nothing else. The Rustica seems to add some strength and body, but doesn't interfere with the main stars of the show. Color is medium brown and the grind is also medium. The quality of tobaccos used in all the SWS are fantastic and it's amazing what Johnny Scott pulls out of these naturally with no added casings. It is somewhat similar to the Fifty-Fifty but less in your face with the vinegar punch and fruity notes, and seems a bit more toned down and balanced. Be warned - these are very moreish and won't last long. A fine blend.

This has been my favorite snuff. I love it. Unfortunately something has changed. Don’t know what, but it’s a totally different product now. I asked Mrsnuff about and they said they would ask the manufacturer, but I’ve never heard anything back. This product is expensive. Especially when you’re buying the 50 gram tin. Used to be the best, but now it sucks and I will not buy again sadly until I hear some explanation.
Weirdly, Lundy Foot is also TOTALLY different now

El nombre es por el Perique que contiene. También contiene Virginia y Punjabi Rustica.

Opinión personal:
El aroma del Perique está buen sutil al igual que el Virginia. Da la impresión de ser tostado, quizás por el Perique. Fácil de tomar.
¿Volvería a comprarlo? Puede ser

The scent is of tobacco complexity. Once snuffed it gives just bit of burn that quickly dissipates to a beautiful symphony of of tobacco flavor's, With a ever so slight sweet barnyard under tone. It's a five star master blend and least I mention a killer Nic hit that lingers on into the night.

The tin note is bitter chocolate with tobacco. When taken, the tobacco comes to the front, and the chocolate note recedes -- it's not like some of the other chocolates where it's like you snorted Nestle's Quik or something.

I'm not getting any specific tobacco type -- maybe some of you with deeper pipe palates will be able to pick out Virginia or Perique -- it's too subtle for me. I don't find it particularly fruity except for maybe a tiny hint of chili -- if you've ever made Alton Brown's hot chocolate recipe, this is very close, if he included tobacco...

Supposedly the Punjabi Rustica gives it a nicotine kick, but I'm not getting anything like that after doing it three times in the last 15 minutes while I write this.

I'm giving it four of five stars. If I ever work through all the other chocolates I have, this would be my choice to re-up.

REALLY good snuff, i'm new to snuff and this is my current favorite.
It is pricey but definitely worth it! It has a great nicotine rush and fine burn, the grind/moisture content is perfect. It's hard to describe the scents of this one and thats one part that keeps me coming back. I guess its a bit toasty and I can smell the barrel aged perqiue. Definitely an artisinal hand-made snuff.
This is my current favorite, I just wish I could get it in bulk. Try some and you will be spoiled, I still enjoy my irish22 but I wish I would have just grabbed another 50g of this. I pray that sir walter scott NEVER stops making this fine snuff.

Yes, I do store it in fridge as intructed by the canister.

This stuff is amazing. Worth every penny. Yeah, it is expensive, but after one sniff, I am a huge fan. It is a little more coarse than I am used to (Wilsons and McChrystals). You can definitely smell the Perique. One of the best snuffs I own.

Needless to say, I will be buying more of the Sir Walter Scott's blends!

First time I tried it and I am hooked. No stinging like other moister selections like Medicated 99 or Hedges which are great in their rite.

To my mind, this is an excellent snuff. Well balanced with an flavorful mix of fruit and a piquant note from the Big Easy. Exquisite snuff that packs a punch.

outstanding snuff best quality tobacco and no annoying scents that destroy the tobacco flavour.

For the first time since I use tobacco in my life that I experience really having the plant in my nose.

Warm, earthy, awakening snuff. Keep on making it Sir Walter Scott!
