Goteborg Rape No. 2.

Review: You might be asking, “What in the world does Göteborg Rape No. 2 taste like?” Let me tell you. Rape is delicious. Flavored with lingon berries, the Swedish version of Vaccinium vitis-idaea, it’s a little tart and a little sweet. But it’s not overly candy-like at all and has a medium strength woody tobacco flavor throughout.

This is the second flavor offering in the Goteborg Rape line by Swedish Match. Goteborg is Sweden’s second largest city, a beautiful city on the south western side of the country. Rape No. 2 has an oily feel and taste to it, but it’s a little less pronounced than it is in the original Rape.

On the first taste, the berries come out, giving Rape No. 2 a taste slightly resembling jello, but as the flavor develops. hints of orangey citrus begin to emerge. And after several minutes both meld together to produce a very pleasant flavor that’s both mildly tart and sour, like a cranberry and like a lemon. As these flavors mellow further, the salty tobacco flavor begins to take over, without being overwhelming.

Suggest use time: 30-90 minutes. Before 20 minutes, the flavor hasn’t yet fully developed, and after more than 90 minutes, the best part of the flavor has passed and you significantly increase the chance of snus bag structural failure.

Dominant Flavors:
Berries, Tobacco

The Prognosis:
If you like a complex snus full of flavor and body, this snus is for you. This is one of my favorites.
