Brasil Feinst

In brief

Brasil Feinst is a schmalzler from Bernard in the brand’s typical snuffbox with a side slider; one reviewer also describes a version in a 100-gram pouch. The snuff is dark brown to almost black, oily and moist, and clearly forms lumps that can block the opening. Opinions on the grind are divided: some see it as coarse, others as finer than in the brand’s other schmalzlers. The aroma features tobacco, smoke and smokiness as well as plum and raisins, and some reviewers detect cocoa, dark chocolate, coffee or banana; the intensity of the smokiness is rated differently. It is regarded as milder than Aecht Altbayerischer Schmalzler, placed between it and Brasil Doppelt-Fermentiert. Opinions on drip are divided, and some criticise it as predictable and flat compared with Brasil Fresco.
