If you're not coughing this up too, then this indicates a well-progressed nasal or sinus infection, possibly with some occult blood in the mucous, giving it that tobacco color. This, being an infection, is beyond the realm of over-the-counter nasal sprays, although flushing with saline might not hurt. Consider seeing a doctor for antibiotics.

What is post nasal drip?

Nose and throat glands continually produce one to two quarts of mucus a day. This moistens and cleans the nasal membranes, humidifies air, traps and clears inhaled foreign matter, and fights infection. Although mucus is usually swallowed unconsciously, the feeling that it is accumulating in the throat or dripping from the back of the nose is called post-nasal drip. Post-nasal drip can be caused by excessive or thick secretions by throat muscle or by swallowing disorders.
