Wilsons - Jockey Club

Wilsons Jockey Club is a faithful reproduction of the scent needed to overcome a horse stall on the heath of Newmarket circa 1750. A gentleman's association whose members share the passions of equine sport racing as well as the popular habitude of snuff-taking. A gentleman would use a tobacco powder to mask any unpleasant odors one might encounter around the track and clubhouse. The solution was to envelope the tobacco with a heavy floral bouquet accompanied by musky juniper and soapy perfumed aromas. This astute remedy is light colored with a medium coarse grind and medium moisture. There is a mild burn when sniffed but quickly dissipates and is immediately replaced with a fragrance induced hit of nicotine that is notable. This snuff is often picked to win, place and show.
