Sir Walter Scotts - Pontefract Priory

Sir Walter Scotts Pontefract Priory uses a base of Black Cavendish blended with flue-cured Burley, Zimbabwe and Bright Leaf Virginia tobaccos. The blend is sauced with a syrup made by simmering liquorice roots in Muscovado sugar and cased with an extract of liquorice roots suspended in alcohol for six months.

The snuff has a medium grind with moist texture and strong nicotine content. Tasting notes include liquorice, sweet notes, smoky tobacco, and cavendish. The aroma combines liquorice with smoky pipe tobacco notes and dark cavendish.
