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 [...]

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 [...]
