Haudegen snuff features: Aroma and moisture

The essential Haudegen snuff features can be described by a robust tobacco base and a pleasantly fresh character. In many varieties of this type, a fine dose of menthol provides a liberating coolness in the nose without overpowering the original tobacco aroma. Another important characteristic is the optimal moisture of the product. This ensures that the nasal tobacco is easy to portion and stays pleasantly in the nose when sniffed, without immediately trickling down the throat.

Packaging sizes: Tin or display?

Mythos Haudegen is available in different package sizes to meet individual needs. If you simply want to try the tobacco first or need it for on the go, the classic, handy tin is recommended. For regular consumers who want to stock up, the display is the more economical choice.

• Single tin: Mythos Haudegen is available from CHF 6.90.
• Stock-up pack: The Mythos Haudegen Display (12 tins) is available from CHF 74.50 (prices as of: 10.11.2026).

Mythos Haudegen snuff use: How to do it right

The correct Mythos Haudegen snuff use is crucial for full enjoyment. Since Haudegen has a pleasant moisture level, it is very easy to portion.

1. Preparing the pinch: Take a small amount of tobacco (a so-called pinch). For beginners, an amount the size of a match head is sufficient.
2. Positioning: Place the tobacco on the back of your hand between your thumb and index finger, or take it directly between your two fingertips.
3. Sniffing: Bring the tobacco to your nostril and inhale lightly and gently. Important: Do not draw the tobacco up too deeply; it should only stick to the front area of the nasal mucosa.

To ensure that Mythos Haudegen retains its features over a longer period, proper storage is essential. Snuff is prone to drying out. Therefore, always keep the tin tightly closed in a cool, dark place. Direct sunlight or proximity to radiators should be avoided. A refrigerator is not absolutely necessary, but the room temperature should be constant and not too warm.
