Description
Macouba takes its name from the northern tip of Martinique, where tobacco was historically grown and treated with rum to create an intensely aromatic, dark snuff beloved by the French aristocracy. Fribourg & Treyer’s Macouba is true to that tradition: a deeply black, richly scented snuff with floral rose notes and exotic spice. It is perhaps the most characterful and historic of all English snuff styles.
