Phantom Classic Blue

March 2, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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 [...]

Jakobsson’s Ice Fruit

February 22, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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 [...]

Camel Snus: Frost

January 30, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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.  [...]

Goteborg’s Rape No. 2 White Portion

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 [...]

Ettan Original Portion

January 28, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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 [...]

Offroad Coffee Vanilla

January 16, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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 [...]
