As one would expect from the name, this is a mentholated snuff. The base snuff appears to be the same as in the Especial but instead of the spicy flavouring there is a subtle and pure menthol. Unlike many European snuffs, it is only menthol. No camphor or eucalyptus, so this is by no means a medicated snuff. While I am generally less than keen on mentholated snuffs, I do find this one enjoyable as the menthol level is relatively low. L260 this is not!
