Taxi Green is a robust South African snuff that has a reputation for its strength. This well fermented blend of local virginia and rustica cultivars compromise the backbone of this powerhouse. The tobacco, when freshly tinned, gives of a very pungent aroma due to residual ammonia from fermentation, it is suggested to let the contents "air out" by leaving the cover off and letting the spirits evaporate. The stink, being a sign of freshness, may be the price to pay to enjoy this wild African tiger but does abate after a few hours. The initial flavor is of pure tobacco that is imparted by its terroir and reveals a singular flavor.
Additionally, there is a layer of menthol that provides a moderately refreshing hit to the nose with no burn. The color is dark, almost black and is very moist, easy to pinch and the grind is coarse like a rappee. This offering ticks all the boxes for many snuff enthusiasts. Try a pinch today.
Could the smoking bans of the twenty-first century result in the elimination of cigarettes in Europe and make snuff fashionable again? Today millions of smokers are switching to snuff and snus, not only because of the bans but also because the medical fraternities are now informing smokers that snuff is a dramatically less harmful alternative to cigarettes.
