Supposed to be out around the end of October. Looking forward to trying it.

10/26 if I read it right.......I'm down for a roll sight unseen......

Conny has another snus out now, from Melgrens, I don't think it's available to US tho.....http://www.mellgrens.se/mellgrens-ip...-los-snus.html

You can order it burnsey but I'm pretty sure it's like $7 a can, and you can only order it from one site

[dragon23rider]

And that one is what?

[codyg140]

Mellgrens site, if you can read Swedish

Right, $ 8.40 US per my calculations ......above my pay grade.....

So.......any body else try this one? Reminds me of Montecristo snus with a whisky taste. Really cigar-ish tobacco.

[codyg140]

All I could taste on this was whiskey, same with all I could smell. Maybe it's because my drinking days are behind me but I had a very strong dislike of this one

[Burnsey]

I tried it, just OK imo, probably not going to buy any more.......

If this is the ol Islay snus, I tasted it in the pre-production los version. It was good. I actually though it was a little muted on the whiskey end of things.

I never had the portions........ they might be a completely different game.

I've had this one - and it's definitely not muted on the whisky at all!!! It smells and tastes gloriously just like the barrel room of a scottish whisky distillery or like the leather panelled room of one of the dons at King's College Cambridge at the end of one of their first year welcome drinks parties ... sigh ... that was a long time ago - and frankly a lot of those parties were far less about welcoming and much more a chance for a dirty old academic to leer over the thought of 18 year old boys bottoms ... but the rare whisky was great :-)

Well this AG snus is a bit much....Connie picked some daring tobacco. But not my cup of tea, interestingly enough it has sparked a renewed appreciation for The GN\Connie Islay whisky snus. I like Islay scotch, caol isla, Ardbeg, Bowmore, ect. It is the cigar tobacco that puts me off. The GN snus is better balanced imho.

Figured I needed to contribute on the snus side of things here. Otherwise the XR Grov gets the job done very well!
