Loose Snus
I finally tried loose snus. Specifically, I opted go for the General Los. I knew that I liked General, and from everything I read, the los was even better than portions.
I cracked open the tin and took a good look. Loose snus looks like very fine, black potting soil. I mean, it looks just like [...]
Nick & Johnny’s Strong
April 7, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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 [...]
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 [...]
Snus: More than just an addiction (or less)
Just doing some math here. I tried my first snus on Jan 18. Today is Feb 9. Hence, I’m starting week #4.
In that time (3 weeks) I have finished 3 tins (of Ettan, Offroad Original and General Original) and have additionally sampled several others.
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. [...]
General Original Portion
January 29, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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?
Goteborg’s Rape No. 2 White Portion
January 28, 2009 in Snus Reviews by meta
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 [...]
