Just received two new plain (unscented) Indian snuffs, made by
Janta Naswar Factory, based in Jodhpur, Rajasthan:
White Horse (Indian White Snuff) and White Horse Gul. Had some pinches of both, the first impressions are very nice.
I find them both equally fine and dry, solid medium strength (fairly safe for pleasurable chain pinching). They differ in colour and taste, though. White Horse is brighter and has somewhat sourish tin note, whereas White Horse Gul is a tad darker and has a subtle sweetness to it along with a very, very slight chocolaty-ghosting tin note, the thing I really love about gul type snuffs. Nose burn is typical of similar snuffs in the same category: sharp, but fast subsiding.
Both snuffs are not as lightweight as 41P WE or DW (read: not as dusty, hence less challenging to take) and could be recommended as an easier introduction to fine Indian snuffs for a curious beginner. Mind you, though, they are still quite fine - you might notice a cloud of snuff particles upon closing the lid!
Good thing about these 20 g tins - they are wide enough for grabing a pinch comfortably and might do a nice job serving as a basic table snuffbox.
Comments
Which is the Creamy snuff? And is it appropriate for nasal use or only oral?
Only ORAL use.
The Janta snuff i really like is the Punjabi. Just took a few pinches about 10min ago and the scent is still going strong. Not exactly sure what the scent notes are but i detect a rose sandalwood kind of "Indian" scent that is not heavy on the floral and is a very nice blend. This one is a "sleeper" as i did not expect to like this one as much as i do. The tin is a generous 20g that makes it easy to grab a pinch and has a metal lid of decent quality. Would recommend this one to anyone interested in something a bit different, the Indian snuffs have become my favorite of the ones i have tried so far and have been using them on a daily basis. Good variety for a good price makes it hard to go wrong IMO.
Thank you for such a nice review of our products, we will surely keep in mind about perfumes in Red Label Black.
If you like our WHW, you will also probably like our White Horse Gul. Must give pinch!
All the feedbacks are valuable to us.
