A Winter Wonder

Kendal Camphor Menthol is an antiquated snuff tobacco with deep British roots. In the present day many people may be unaware of what camphor is.

Favoured for its essence, camphor is derived from a particular kind of evergreen tree called the Cinnamomum camphora. When combined with a sweet menthol the result is extremely pleasing.

Medium in strength, Camphor Menthol is a great snuff for newcomers and veterans alike.

It comes in a finely ground consistency and is dry in nature. This makes it exceptionally easy to consume but the user runs the risk of a sneezing outburst if consumed too quickly.

A benefit of this combination is quickly noticeable upon its intake. Camphor Menthol snuff  initially provides a refreshing and cooling feeling. This rapidly changes to a cosy warmth that lasts some time. This is thanks to the Camphor increasing blood flow, similar to the effect of anise. Ideal for the winter time!

Another fact of note, Kendal has been manufacturing snuffs such as Camphor Menthol for over two centuries.

To this date the company still uses many of the same techniques and recipes to produce these historically accurate snuffs.

The handy plastic dispenser tub that this snuff comes in is easy to use. Simply pop the cap up and tap onto your anatomical snuffbox.

Mess free and pocket sized, these tubs have been designed for ease of use in any location or condition.
