Rose of Sharron
“I am the rose of Sharron, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.” Song of Solomon 2:1 & 2.
A homophone, cocoa brown Rows of Sharrow [nasal snuff] has a slightly coarse grind, is moderately moist and has a high nicotine content. It also clumps well and is easy to pinch.
In a similar vein to Royal George, Rows of Sharrow, however, pulls no punches. Upon opening the tin, the waves of rose water and sweetness mislead us into believing that we are about to consume a mere confectionery. But on uptake, it pricks the nose with an intensely citrusy burn that opens the eyes and refocuses attention.
As it dissipates, the florals evolve, moving beyond rose towards lily or even hibiscus. A joy to take, Rows of Sharrow is truly a lily among the thorns.

Rows of Sharrow snuff is incredible.
It has an excellent, delicate flavour and is by no means soapy or annoying in the long term use; quite the contrary! This snuff can be taken all day without any need to change direction.
It is remarkable how strong and present the tobacco shines through, although the rose flavour is pretty strong itself. Very recommended!

Both my wife and I actually love this one. In fact, if she has a night with the girlfriends, she takes along “Rows of Sharrow” and truly loves it. It’s my wife’s favorite snuff (along with Irish no. 22... can never go wrong there!)... definitely add it to your collection of Wilson’s of Sharrow snuffs to try!
Very much contradistinguished from G&H, it is an entirely different type of rose. In the way that a red tea rose has a distinct musky quality, and an orange rose has - well, a citrus note. Much more obvious scent than the G&H, moist, easier to take, but the scent does not carry as long on the nose. I am going to try to get better acquainted with this solid offering.
This snuff have awesome flavour. I like it very much. Nicotine hit is also very balanced high. Maybe grinding could be better. But overall it's nice.
