Skruf Xtra Stark Snus Review

Review: Trying so much strong snus over the past year has pushed up my tolerance, a bit. Still, not for something like this…
Is the strongest snus title something even worth pursuing?
Probably…
Skruf Xtra Stark is said to be 20 to 30% more powerful than Skruf Stark, which I have taken a liking to in recent months. [...]


General Mint Snus Review

Review: Mint, mint, mint. I love mint. It’s nearly here. Mid-February, they say. Let’s see… It’s like General mini mint but bigger. That’s clear. It’s also strangely soft… like someone massaged the tobacco before they loaded it into the pouch — probably from the inside of the plant, like kobe. Tastes really nice, minty and [...]


Catch Mellow Rhubarb Snus Review

Mellow is kind of a dirty word when it comes to snus. Yet that’s the name of the new Catch…

Review: I’m not sure I’m confident enough with my sexuality to carry this tin… Still, mellow is a neat snus. You might not guess it from the pink tin, but Mellow is more subtle than some [...]


Onico Plus Snus Review

I still don’t quite understand nicotine-free snus — probably never will. Seems a lot like non-alcoholic beer. I mean, if you decide your not going to drink, why not have some tea or something? But snus is kind of a different monster. At least if you were to go alcohol free you could drink something. [...]


Thunder Berry Blend Snus Review

By chance, I wound up with a tin of Thunder Berry. I’ll tell you this, my friends, I wasn’t expecting it. Nor was expecting it to be good. Bam. The Thunder Machine did it this time. Quite a nice snus. Let’s go over the details.

Review: This relatively new line of Thunder comes in a red [...]


Snus Review: Kardus 2009

Review: Kardus is one of those absurdities of snusdom. Fiddy bones for about two tins worth of los and a wood box. This is not the kind of thing I would get if I didn’t, humbly, run the best snus blog in the world. I’m kind of a cheapskate, and I’m not the fiercest loose [...]


Snus Review: Nick and Johnny Black

Review: Nick And Johnny Strong has a lot of dead brothers. East, West, loose… That gives this line a 25% survival rate in its nearly three-year run.
Black is the new brother. We first heard about it more than two months ago and were told we might never see it. Instead, it was sent off to [...]


1847 Original Snus Flavor, Again

So I started tasting something similar to bubble gum in 1847 original… What was it? I did some investigation and found a press release from Swedish Match about the new snus.
In it, the company said that they are “refining the flavor” and described the new taste like this:  “medium-bodied tobacco flavor with clear elements of [...]


Snus Review: 1847 Original (New Version)

Review: Clearly, great care was taken to replicate 1847 Original (Old Version). It’s very similar. They even gave it a big fat seam and got special scissors to give it perforated ends. But this is not exactly the same.

There are three minor differences. First, it looks a little different… no biggie.
Second, the tobacco inside the [...]


Snus Review: Catch Cozy

Review: Cozy is pretty neat. It’s not like any snus flavor I’ve ever had. Sure, ol’ N&J East had a cardamom flavor in it, but it was much milder — I pop one in now from the freezer to recall the taste. N&J East tastes like Tre Ankare with a little spice to it. It [...]
