Introduction:
Holt snuff is made right here in America, more specifically Montana, and it is actually licensed as a nutritional supplement (let’s see regular dip say that). The creator, Dave Holt, is a fellow quitter and a cancer survivor that developed… read more
Impressions:
Holt is available in Peppermint flavor and arrives in a black plastic can with green trim. The first thing that I notice when I crack open the can, is Holt’s appearance. It is green from the alfalfa, which can be a big adjustment to someone… read more
Feel
Holt feels just like a dip of fine cut in your mouth and would be indistinguishable from the real thing if this were the only requirement.
Burn
There is no real burn with Holt so it may not have enough “kick” for everyone. It does however provide some cold tingling from the mint so you are always aware that it is there.
Clean-up
Holt leaves the same amount of grinds in your mouth as you would come to expect from a fine-cut dip and can be swallowed to remove the ones that are left behind.
Spitability
Holt does not produce nearly the amount of spit that regular tobacco does primarily because spit is your way of ridding poison from your mouth and Holt is certainly not that. There is enough spit to satisfy the urge, but green spit may disturb some.
Flavor
Holt has a very nice mint flavor that lasts for a long time. The sweetness is moderate and would be comparable to a mix of Timberwolf mint with a touch of wintergreen. The alfalfa provides an interesting and organic flavor that may not be for everyone.
Availability
Holt is available on-line, but its limited availability in stores hurts its rating here, especially if you leave your can at home and are having a bad craving. If you choose Holt as your alternative you should stock-up.
In Conclusion
The people at Holt are wonderful to work with. Dave Holt responded to me directly about his product and sent not only samples, but great articles as well. These are real, down-to-earth people that want to help you win the fight against nicotine. They also sent a teas recipe that involves Holt snuff, honey and water. I tried it out and it was excellent! I recommend giving it a shot when you buy this product.
