Take good unsifted Havannah snuff, and grind it down to a fine
powder. If the tobacco be too strong, mix it with the fine powder of
Spanish nut-shells, which is by far the best mixture which can be
used. Over this sprinkle some weak treacle water, and when, after
mixing with the hands, it has lain in a heap for some days, to sweat
and incorporate, pack it up; but take care that it be not too moist.
This snuff, in the course of twelve months, will be of one uniform
and agreeable flavour; and will keep good and mending, for many
years. When old, this sort will hardly be inferior to any of the
plain snuffs made in Spain.
