6 Photo Kailash 8g

Black snuff. Easy to take but dont over do it. Massive nic hit. The smell is fantastic to me. An herbal smell. Good to have in the rotation.

I have yet to find an Indian black snuff that I dislike in any way. This was yet another winner, and honestly, this snuff may do more for me than Anarkali. As soon as this snuff hits the front of my nose, I am treated to a gorgeous burst of rose, jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla, gardenia, magnolia, and sandalwood backed by a very mild, mellow menthol presence. Contributions from the tobacco are minimal, which is not a surprise for a snuff of this style. If one really picks it apart, subtle impressions of earth, chalk, wood, ash, grass, and lemon can be detected. Moisture content is medium. Nicotine content is more or less medium, at least by my standards. Though this is a fairly finely ground snuff, it sits in the nose very well. The toppings really linger with this one. I can take this snuff all day with no ill effects. Highly recommended for fans of floral snuffs.

I have lived near a very large Indian community since I was a child, this captures the essence of the sweet betel nut shavings and other flavors put in sweet paan. Sweet paan is made from the leaves of the betel tree wrapped over sweets, tobacco paste and powder along with betel nut in a triangular shape. This aroma is perfect for an Indian snuff.

This is a must have. Really strong, amazing flavor.

The Kailash is simply the snuff with the most balanced menthol and sweetness for me. This is not strong, though it has a good initial menthol blast for few seconds, and then a little sweet fragrance. Along with the special, I use this before dozing off sometimes as it is very calming for me. I just feel its not as long lasting as the other black snuffs from 6 photo, which makes me fiend for it more - not that I'm complaining about using more of it often. Definitely a must try if you like black mentholated snuffs.
