Wilsons have been making snuff at Sharrow Mill since the 1700s. A further six generations of the Wilson family have followed the family snuff making tradition at Sharrow Mills and the business which is now known as Wilsons & Co. (Sharrow) Ltd. is still wholly owned and run by members of the Wilson family.
Wilsons Aniseed Extra Snuff
Aniseed Extra Snuff is a fine Wilsons of Sharrow snuff. Described as being a metholated snuff, it also has a complex citrus base. Aniseed Extra snuff is a nice snuff if aniseed is your thing. It's not as a bad as the 'Marmite' divide, but some people love, and some people hate aniseed! We like Aniseed Extra Snuff very much.

Wilsons Country Mint Snuff
If ever there was ever an appropriately named snuff it's this one. My first pinch and I was immediately transported back in time to my Grandmother's garden in the Lake District. Another snuff that is very easy to take and one of those that any time is the right time. Fine grind,medium brown in colour and mild in flavour and nicotine content. Very pleasing and highly recommendable.

Wilsons Honey Menthol Snuff

Wilsons Ice Liquorice Snuff
Ice Liquorice is a brand new snuff from Wilsons of Sharrow. Ice Liquorice is a light brown finely ground snuff and in our opinion is perfectly pinchable. Ice Liquorice isn't 'moist', but the pinch retains it 'shape' if you give it a good squeeze between finger and thumb. Ice Liquorice snuff has a distinctive scent of liquorice and menthol when opening the tin. We've been crying out for a 'true' liquorice snuff and the arrival of Ice Liquorice is a welcome surprise, if you're a liquorice fan who's been having to make do with 'aniseed' flavours instead; we're sure you'll be as happy as us on this new flavour's release. The Ice part of the Liquorice is 'menthol'. The menthol isn't so over powering as to do the liquorice an injustice - fortunately! On first snuffing, we noticed the liquorice immediately, sure there's menthol and it adds to the snuffing experience, but the liquorice stays in the nose for a while. A refreshing snuff, ideal for both beginners and experts alike.

Wilsons Irish Coffee Snuff
Wilsons Irish Coffee Snuff is definately a crowd pleaser and is a favourite of the snuff community around the world. More of a creamy coffee than an Irish coffee, but it is wonderfully smooth and a great addition to anyones snuff collection. It's probably not an all-day snuff but definately worth the occasional pinch. Why go to the pub when you can have an Irish Coffee at home!!!

Wilsons Prime Minister Snuff
Another great snuff from Wilsons, this is a fairly moist snuff which screams spearmint at you. This is a slightly mentholated snuff, but not one that will blow your nose off.
NZ$ 9.00 10g tin incl GST
Wilsons Raspberry Snuff
Wilson's Raspberry has a very sweet raspberry flavor. This snuff is also highly mentholated. Together the menthol and Raspberry seem to work well with neither flavor really overpowering the other. Not a bad snuff, but one I would only recomend to those who like mentholated snuffs and enjoy raspberry flavor.
NZ$ 9.00 10g tin incl GST
Wilsons Spearmint Plus **** NEW ****
This is a medium-fine grind, medium moisture snuff with a medium amount of spearmint; just the right amount, perfectly in balance with the tobacco taste.
NZ$ 9.00 10g tin incl GST
Wilsons Vanilla Snuff
Wilsons Vanilla snuff is certainly an interesting flavour and one would think would be a difficult balance to strike. However, this vanilla snuff is not too strong and the vanilla is wonderfully infused into the tobacco. This leaves a pleasant unobtrusive aroma in your nose and should be enjoyed best on a summers day.

Sharrow snuffs fall into four main categories:

Category 1: The SP Varieties.
Best SP has been Wilsons' best selling snuff for more than 250 years. Its basic aroma is of the finest tobacco leaves with just a hint of the addition of various essential oils of Mediterranean citrus fruits. SP 100 is very similar with a slight variation in the texture of grinding, while Queens and Tom Buck are both stronger versions of Best SP, Gold Label is a milder flavoured SP using 100% American tobaccos.

Best SP, Best Dark, Brunswick, Burgundy, Kendal Brown, Gold Label, Morlaix, Princes, Queen's Extra Stong, SP100, Tom Buck (Extra Strong SP),


Category 2: Mentholated Snuffs.
SM (Sharrow Medicated) is flavoured with a pleasant balance of Menthol Crystals and Eucalyptus oil. SM 500, SM Brown, SM Blue and SM Gold are all variations on SM, the last two with the addition of Camphor. Extra Strong Menthol has an even higher amount of menthol in the recipe. Menthol is simply that, with no Eucalyptus. Super Menthol combines strong Menthol flavours onto a citrus base, which is particularly popular. Aniseed and Eucalyptus is simply that, while Aniseed Extra also uses the more complex citrus base. Crumbs of Comfort uses spearmint as one of its many ingredients, while Country Mint has spearmint on its own. Prime Minister is a glorious mixture of nearly all the various mentholated ingredients with spearmint as the top note.

Irish Toast is a medium brown brew of fairly moist fire-cured tobaccos, while Irish High Toast is a light brown version but very dry. French Carotte is quite coarsely ground and sweetly flavoured. Irish Coffee with its flavour of Irish whiskey is an excellent after dinner snuff.
