Toque Blueberry Menthol

This is the real deal. Having a shelved closet floor to ceiling of every snuff, past and present, my money can buy ... of the contemporary snuffs this is within my very favorite. For the uninitiated to medicated that component may be a bit off putting, but the menthol is muted compared to mainstays such as Hedges and J&H Wilson. The blueberry is not a candy but the aroma of leaning over a pot of boiling berries on your stove. It makes me dream of vacationing in Maine, and the medication (being accustomed) frees and cools my airways. Certainly a snuff to bring to a deserted island.

I will say that menthols are not an all day thing for me, but once in a while I do enjoy a moderate one. Toque has not disappointed me so far, so on a whim I decided to try Blueberry Menthol. It's got the same moisture and grind as Original (medium). At first pinch, the menthol is moderate and the blueberry is definitely there. It just tasted different than what I thought Blueberry Menthol did in my head. With this snuff being medicated, it kinda reminded me of berry cough syrup. Because I love everything Toque, I will come back to it. The menthol is not overdone, so it's a nice break from SP's or toasts. I could definitely see raising it a star once the flavors settle.
