Taxi Extra Strong

Very dark, very coarse, very moist and very strong! This is quite an amazing snuff and one I intend not to run out of. Taxi Red reminds me of some of the Bernard plain tobacco snuffs though it does lack something of the complexity of those. There is no flavouring in it at all so all you get is delicious tobacco goodness. Wonderful snuff! Though I do get the feeling it is one that is either loved or loathed with nothing in between.

It comes in a very practical and nearly airtight plastic container.

Judging by the other reviews, this is a love it or hate it snuff. I must say though, that it takes a little getting used to in order to be appreciated. My first attempts with this were fairly unsuccessful, since I was actually trying to snuff it via the strength of my lungpower. As I am not a vacuum cleaner, I failed. Sometime later, I revisted it and had the idea that I could just shove the pinches in, whith no sniffing involved at all. This worked brilliantly! Then I realised I could get several pinches in at once, then sit back and enjoy a nicotine trip! Doing this once a day made my 25g tin empty very fast! Some like to air the ammonia out of this, or dry it out or grind it down, but I think all of that just takes away from the power of this one. (Ok, to be fair, I do stir it a bit and let a LITTLE of the ammonia go.) The flavor, beyond the ammonia, is very barnyard (some might even say dirty horse stalls), but its really a mild flavor and this one is not for flavor anyway. Taxi Blue has a somewhat better flavor, and Ntsu (which is comparable to this) has a stronger nicotine rush, but this is still a 5 star snuff. I was very sad to empty my tin. I will be getting more and keeping myself stocked.
