This is a strong, moist, strong, coarse, strong snuff from South Africa. Seatbelts should be worn when taking this Taxi. According to a study done by a university in Pretoria, in conjunction with a researcher in Baltimore, “The pH and percentage of free base nicotine reported for the Taxi and Singleton menthol brands in the present study is indeed the highest ever reported for any industrialised snuff brand." Sure, they're talking about the menthol version, but I'm certain that the Red is no different.

This snuff is somewhat ammoniated, though not so strongly so as to be off-putting. After filling your snuffbox, leave it open for about fifteen minutes and the cat-pee tinge will very nearly disappear entirely. The flavor is unsubtle plain tobacco, with a hint of cigar, and which dissipates fairly quickly. The afterblow aroma is one of pleasant, mild tobacco.

Despite its strength, Taxi Red is easy to take. All-day usage may result in a slight soreness of the mucosa, but no more so than F&T HDT causes.

Should a smoker ever wish to switch to nasal snuff alone, this product would be just the ticket— its coarseness and moisture make it a good beginner’s snuff (provided that said beginner is used to nicotine, otherwise an airline sickness bag should be at hand.)

A word about the container— though made of an ugly soft plastic, it seals surprisingly well. And what, you ask, is the word “gwayi” that appears on the container? It’s Zulu for tobacco, of course.

I received in my order from Mars yesterday a crush box simply labeled "Taxi", by smell it is the non-menthol variety. Very course. May try the trick of leaving it open for 15 minutes, has that odd scent about it. Not a bad snuff at all though, definitely get the "hint of cigar" scent that Andy mentions. Would certainly like to try the menthol. I like it well enough that if Mars is going to start selling it, I would order both varieties.
