Bernard Magic Moments Black 10g

I'm also a pipe smoker from Montreal. One of our finest tobacconists and pipe makers (Blatter & Blatter) has a mixture called "Navigator". This snuff reminds me of that. Sweet, fruity and creamy with chocolate undertones: this is Bavarian Black Forest cake for your nose. It was very enjoyable while finishing a bottle of Bacardi's Gran Reserva Limitada.

As much as I love many of Bernard's flavors, this one fell short for me. It seemed like fruit done "the wrong way" (Read: yellow #5). I highly recommend Rosinski's schmalzler's over this one. Other than what I felt was a sickening synthetic fruit flavor, it's still "Bernard" so it's never -bad-.

The Schmalzler category is mostly represented by natural, fermented, sweet tobacco varieties. Magic Moments is an exception to that rule, by offering a heavily flavored alternative. Still a Schmalzler but with a huge load of sweet natural strawberry aromas. The tobacco is detectable in the background. It produces a rather sharp back drip, which is not for everyone. It also delivers a good nicotine hit. Definitely not a all day for me, but a very pleasant fruit desert snuff.

Just not for me first time trying this brand I bought three different ones and all were meh~ I could live without Bernard. Take my review with a grain of salt as I see plenty of reviews of people loving this brand. Just not for me glad I know now.

Rich, not overbearing. My favorite Bernard's by far. Has a sweet, strawberry undertone that balances the full profile. Great for the evening. But I've found I can use it all day, and never tire of it. Wonderful nicotine hit.
