Fribourg & Treyer - Macouba

I poured a mountain out the first time size of my thumb nail . Hate and love these tins but they kick my ass sometimes but the burn is so nice .

Macouba is a village on the northern tip of Martinique where a mythical tobacco called Maccaboy is reputed to grow. William Makepeace Thackeray lauded it in his novels. Low in nicotine and of average moisture, this medium ground khaki-red snuff has a slight burn, right after intake. The natural aroma of rose in the tobacco made Maccaboy world famous. F&T’s version mixes-in the essences of rose, sandalwood and, to my nose, key lime. It is sweet and its combination of flavours make it taste like a Turkish Delight.

Geranium top notes, fading quickly to rose and musk, then a steady lingering sandalwood with the most amazing coumarin finish! Exceedingly rare to find anything with the fresly cut hay aroma of coumarin, this is a transportive snuff. Slightly moist, very fine, silky, and with a rather generous nicotine content, this is by far the greatest snuff I have ever had the pleasure of inhaling. Yes, inhaling. One must be carefuly not to over sniff this, even though it is moist, the fine milling can result in a bit hitting the lungs if you are not careful. Buy this in large quantity.

The F&T line is old world quality & class all the way, when I opened the tin I was shocked and discouraged by the powerful fragrance like nothing I had tried before but once in the nose I was pleasant surprised and after walking outside I was hooked, it's a very long lasting scent similar to F&T Bordeaux but with less floral notes, I really enjoy this one.
