These are two of the sleekest looking tins Swedish Match has put out in a while.

After this superficial quality, I’m pretty much over General Long. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good snus — it is. It’s just not for me. I’ve turned to the White side.
When I first reviewed General Original [...]

Well, looks like two posts in a row that I have to admit an error… This one stems from Northerner listing Jakobsson’s Wintergreen as a can of 24 grams. It isn’t. It’s actually 20 grams. It’s also 20 portions. So… 1 gram of tobacco per portion, 9 mg of nicotine per portion. This makes more [...]

I knew I wouldn’t like Christmas snus very much. Flavors associated with Christmas are pretty nasty. If I could reinvent Christmas flavors, they would be tequila, guacamole, and vicodin… sounds like Christmas in Tijuana. Anyway, it took Northerner’s super 10th anniversary deal to get me to order Christmas snus. So I got Gotländskt Julesnus Portion [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Review: I’ve always felt that Philip Morris was the devil. Still, this snus isn’t that bad… First, the tin is top notch… oh wait… that’s going away…
This isn’t starting off very well. Let’s try again.
Review: It was 1847 when some English poof named Phil “Sex Machine” Morris opened his tobacco shop in London. I don’t [...]

Review: Until quite recently, I had never had whiskey snus. I don’t like whiskey and the snus sounded nasty. But the snus only slightly resembles anything like whiskey, and it’s actually quite good.
To me, it tastes more like clove snus than whiskey snus. There is a semi-sweet smoke flavor, which is what’s probably supposed to [...]
