I've been a nasal snuff user for the better part of a decade, but have never really reviewed them. There were others doing that, and I didn't feel I needed to get into the category. However, with nicotine pouches taking over the smokeless category, it's made me want to write/film more reviews of tobacco products. I've recently started reviewing American moist snuff/dipping tobacco, and I'm also reviewing nasal snuff now! Dholakia Tobacco in India has been a favorite manufacturer of mine for quite a while, so it makes sense that some of my first reviews will be of their products. Today we're talking about Dholakia Swizz! The
product description for this one says, "
A full bodied aroma of chocolate with a hint of hazelnut". I have a 9g tin of it that I'll be reviewing today.
The Dholakia snuff tin is kind of rectangular, with rounded edges. One end of the tin has a rubber seal, which you pull back to reveal a plugged hole. Once the seal is peeled back, you can dispense the snuff from a little hole in the end. For the tin note, I pick up aromas of chocolate, a subtle nuttiness, and a light sweetness. Looking at the photo you can see it's a dryer snuff, with a find grind. It's pretty easy to take, and it doesn't hit the throat too hard to come with a heavy drip. In the nose, it's quite pleasant. I pick up chocolate, some hazelnut, a light sweetness, and a nutty presence. Yes, there is a mild, base tobacco presence, but it's more of an afterthought. It has a decent nicotine kick to it; it's not too weak, but not too strong. I find it right in the sweet spot. For the longevity, the sweetness does linger around for a bit, as does the chocolate, which is nice.
Rating and Final Thoughts
I rated this one at 3.29/5. It's a solid nasal snuff. Especially if you're a fan of sweeter types. The chocolate is a nice after-meal treat, or a settling in at the end of a long day experience. If you're not into sweeter products, you could probably still enjoy this one as it's not overly sweet. Yes, it is chocolatey, but it's an enjoyable chocolate presence. It's not too dark, nor is it too milky. I enjoy Dholakia's stuff, and this is definitely one that I think nasal snuff lovers should check out!
