Majestade is characterized by its warmth, depth, and sophistication, unfolding its profile like a classic aged whisky, designed for aromatic balance rather than impact.

Sensory Profile
  1. Initial Impression: The opening note is a distinct, immediate warmth reminiscent of aged whisky. This boozy hint acts as an inviting "doorway" to the blend.
  2. Mid-Stage Transition: The warmth transitions into a refined secondary tone that is gently herbal and subtly spicy. This blend is notably non-mentholated, focusing entirely on rich, warm complexity.
  3. Base Notes: The experience settles into a deep, persistent foundation of aromatic leather. This complex base is designed to be evocative, recalling the rich, polished atmosphere of old libraries, classic barbershops, and the scent of polished wood—places where intellect and dignity once lingered.
  4. Finish: Crafted for a gradual release, Majestade ensures a smooth, contemplative, and long-lasting presence.

Maker Comments

Majestade Snuff — The Spirit of the Brazilian Empire

The philosophy behind this creation is captured in its bold and uncompromising nature. Império do Brazil sought to create a menthol product that was not merely refreshing, but defining—a force that resets the mind.

There is something both ancient and alive about Majestade. To call it a "whisky snuff" would be far too simple; the boozy note is there, yes, but it is only the doorway to something deeper, a world of layers and memories. It was not born from a casual mix of tobacco and liquor, but from a long and demanding tradition that reaches back to the days when snuff was a mark of refinement and intellect.

This combination of strength and subtlety, nostalgia and warmth, is what defines Majestade. It is a signature creation of our house, sharing the same noble character as Fundador Nº10 and Réis, but with its own distinct personality—richer, smoother, and more contemplative

Origin Story

The name Majestade—Portuguese for "Majesty"—is a direct tribute to Dom Pedro II, the last Emperor of Brazil (1825–1891), whose portrait is featured on the tin art.

Dom Pedro II, The Cultured Monarch

Dom Pedro II was a highly cultured and contemplative monarch, fluent in several languages and passionately dedicated to science and the arts. He ruled for nearly fifty years and became a symbol of quiet strength and refinement. His reign, often referred to as a "Golden Age," symbolized refinement and modernity in the tropics.

Philosophically, this snuff seeks to capture that same serene nobility and calm authority that defined the man and the era. It is not merely a snuff, but a small act of remembrance—a momentary conversation with an emperor, a breath of history that carries the elegance of another age into the present. The art and the story educate the international consumer by introducing them to this often-unknown, sophisticated side of Brazilian history, inviting them to experience the elegance of the Brazilian Empire reborn through the art of fine tobacco.
