I really like this one. After the Offroad Coffee/Vanilla and Jakobsson’s Ice Fruit, I was really getting turned off by ‘flavored’ snus-es. I just wanted some plain tobacco flavor. But I tried this one anyway. To my surprise, it was very satisfying. The flavor was that of mild tobacco, but herbal. It wasn’t like tea [...]
This afternoon I was really Jones-ing for a smoke. But I couldn’t get the nasty, foul smell and taste of the last smoke out of my mind. On the advice of a fellow snus-er at Snuson.com, I cracked open a tin of General Sterk white portion. As it is a ‘white portion’, the flavor and [...]
I packed this along for a 3-hour drive. When I first tried it, the “ice” was a bit overwhelming, but that only lasted about 30 seconds. After that, the flavor was very much like that of Juicy Fruit chewing gum. But, like the chewing gum, it lost its flavor quickly. During the drive I stopped [...]
Yes, I did buy some Camel Snus Frost to try. The first thing I noticed was the price. It was the same as a pack of cigarettes (about $4.50) while a tin of Ettan is only $3.50. [A side-note about price: as a pack-a-day smoker, a $4.50 pack of 20 cigs last me one day. [...]
General Original Portion: Being new, though I loved Ettan, I didn’t want to settle with it as my “go to” without trying other non-flavored snus-es. The General brand is, as I understand, the “Marlboro” of snus in Sweden. What do I think?
A lot of people seem to like Goteborg’s No. 2 White Portion, as their “go to” snus… but I just don’t get it. I mean, it is good, but to me it tastes/smells a bit too flowery. It’s like, well, sucking on a flower. The experience is less like tobacco and more like herbal [...]
Offroad markets themselves in the ‘low price segment’ and many of the reviews I read reflected a level of negativity. But I actually enjoyed it. I’m having one (my last one) right now. The tobacco flavor is a bit stronger than Ettan, and after a bit the hint of citrus kicks in. The only negative [...]
Ettan’s Original Portion was my first Swedish Snus, and remains my favorite to date. The flavor is subtle, but definitely pure tobacco. It most reminds me of the Camel cigarettes I enjoyed so much for the past 15 years. The flavor isn’t “overwhelming”, but it isn’t “missing” either. To me, Ettan is very no-nonsense [...]
I read a lot of negative reviews on this one, but I think I kinda’ like it… under just the right circumstances. It’s sorta like Corona and how it tastes a bit like piss unless you’re drinking it with spicy Mexican food. Offroad C/V tastes like ass unless you’re having it with morning coffee. It’s [...]
Nick & Johnny’s Strong
When you really… and I mean really… want a smoke… Nick & Johnny’s.
I was actually surprised the other night when I read that GrovSnus Svart (Black) was a “strong” snus and contains the same amount of nicotine. I bought it specifically for that purpose. But after using it, I was convinced that I read it [...]
