Bernard Wies n Snuff 10g
Bernard Weisn Snuff is a traditional blend that is synonymous with the Oktoberfest in Munich every year. Popularized at this international festival, this snuff has gained enormous popularity for its traditional German tobacco flavor laced with heaping helpings of menthol. This is a dark brown, slightly moist and finely ground formulation that renders a substantial nicotine hit with little to no aggravation to the sinuses. The taste of a springtime Bavarian meadow with the spicy tingle of menthol. Genießen Sie eine Prise!
Available in a convenient 10 g dispenser or box of twenty.

Wiesn Snuff was the first Bernard product that I tried and remains a firm favorite. Out of the tin, the snuff appears ruddy brown with what appears to be a medium-coarse grind. It is described as being finely ground, but it looks far chunkier and coarser to me. A good deal of clumping is present, indicating medium moisture or better. Once it hits the front of the nose, the snuff sticks very well and delivers a balanced burst of menthol followed by a gorgeous mixture of rich tobacco aromas. Think a combination of earth, grass, wood, leather, biscuit, baked bread, toffee, brown sugar, and molasses paired with fruity impressions of raisin, prune, date, baked apple, and fig. Spice notes are present as well. I get a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, clove, anise, and nutmeg. There are also herbal/floral components, maybe something like a combination of subtle horehound, hyssop, and angelica aromas. The effect of this snuff is like inhaling the scents of a Bavarian meadow on a cool, foggy morning while taking some absolutely fantastic tobacco. Step outside on a cool, rainy day to get the full effect. Very complex but also very inviting, this snuff packs a punch that is more than capable of sneaking up on the unsuspecting. It's far too easy to do all day or take too much of in one go, but I love it. Very highly recommended.
