Now why am I seeing green? Well once again I was surprised by a snus. I ordered a few cans from premiumsnus a week or so back, one of which was Jak's Wintergreen. I have said before, wintergreen has historically not been one of my favorite flavors, I much prefer spearmint or peppermint. But I must say this stuff is good. The wintergreen is strong but not in a sickly sweet way, more sharp and more of a medicinal "green" note which I prefer when talking about wintergreen flavors.
The other thing is a base taste....this is the second Jakobssons snus I have tried but if you gave me a portion and asked which brand name it was I am pretty sure I could guess it right within a minute or two. There is a taste (I am going to say "soapy soda" but that comes off as more negative than I mean it to) that is in Jak's Mint which I have had before and I taste in this Wintergreen too. Not sure which ingredient it comes from but for my taste buds it is a signature taste in these two....gonna have to order some other Jak's versions (Classic, Flader, etc.) to see if I notice it in those as well. Anyway, the wintergreen covers this up better than the mint so for me that is an added plus. I will definitely purchase again since I seem to have plowed through half a can without realizing it already.
So the new lists are below with my current top 5 favorites bolded:
Mint
General Mint White Portion
Jakobsson's Wintergreen Strong Portion
Thunder Frosted Long+ Portion
Jakobsson's Mint Strong Portion
General Wintergreen White Portion
Offroad Frosted Portion

I received a small order from premiumsnus last week and have a few more to post so stayed tuned for my thoughts on Grovsnus, Skruf Original, & General OP
Thanks for reading!
its more of a classic tobacco with hits of cedar maybe ?
List looks good....now fill out those other categories!!!!!
You might want to do it on an excel spreadsheet and make a new sheet as you change your favorites to track your taste changes.....but that is way out of my realm....I did it on a scrap of paper. And I lost it.
