Plain Latakia tobaccoSnuff Review:
This is only available from Holland, you can buy it on www.snuifmolens.nl, the site is also in English. If there are any pipe smokers here they will probably be familiar with latakia tobacco, for those who aren't it is smoke cured ,before being ground up into snuff/smoking tobacco. This therefore gives it a wonderfully rich,smooth, smokey flavour.
It is quite moist so can get messy, also if you oversniff it, it does burn like hell so beware, but if you get it right you have a wonderful snuff experience. Worth a try for those who like something different.

I found the above review by "Anonymous" to be spot-on. This is a wonderful, very different snuff. Like all de Kralingse snuffs, it is made the way it was over 100 years ago, ground in a pair of windmills in Rotterdam. Because it is moist, and so very dark, it's not really an "all day" snuff. (As stated above, it can get messy) Do not let that keep you from trying this wonderful snuff.I also give it an 8 out of 10!
To update the above review, for those of us on the left side of the pond, de Kralingse snuffs are now available from marscigars.com
Cheers,
