Oden's "Extreme" NSFW Thread aka "Mr. GN's Wild Ride"

[tom502]

Someone else a little while back was talking of the new Oden's Los, which also says Made In Sweden on the lid, I can't recall his name, but he uses a new pic of the can as his avatar.

I asked PP if he could move this out of the Swedish Match section, and in the Snus Reviews section, make a new area called Miscellaneous Snus, so when a new item comes, reviews of it can be placed there, like the Pioneer Snuff. Some brands just don't need a whole section, like Chess Snus.

Okay, let's try a different tact...

Where did you buy them? Was it online?

Nope, from my mate who brings snus from Russia. There was like year ago oden's xtra sterk, but now it was that "extreme stuff".
Edit1: Im from finland

Ill upload pic of can soon!
Here's the pic! Sorry for bad quality my cam aint that good :/. There is that text "made in sweden"

[chadizzy1]

yeah....what he said.


And why wasn't the Ambassador notified?

Remember the poll I did a month ago for the "Would you buy a 30mg snus"? That's what I was talking about. I tested it for GN but didn't know it went to market so soon. To answer questions, it is a GN product under the Oden's name, reported to be around (at the time we did the testing phase) 30mg of nicotine. The taste is kind of like Olde Viking Original but with a really spicy flair to it.

DO NOT WANT!

That is insane. I cut Thunder portions in half.....

[Crow]

I'm going to try it. But, I don't think I'll make it a regular. (this stuff sounds like pure nicotine).

[Jwalker]

Oh crap I hate oden's lakrits and original but I feel the need to buy a can now. I'll just pass and wait for Skurf and Thunder to make a new snus.

Kinda strange that i cant find any where how much this "extreme" has nicotine each pouch :/

When we were testing it, originally it had 30mg of nicotine as i was told with the early samples.

[reijjoxi]

Oh insane, luckily i have been using snus for long time so that 30mg wasent bad for me =D

We could call this snus, "suicide in a can". That much nicotine is just way too much...think about it. Even if you only get a percentage of that nicotine its still flirting with your heart exploding from tachycardia.

[Rattlesnake]

I vote for a warning label.

[fishmeat]

In "Tahoma" font standard size 5...

Here's a pic of the portions.

This is my "review", or rather feedback I sent GN after I tried it a while back.

The can is the traditional GN Tobacco can as seen with previous Olde Viking releases. Not good, not bad, just kinda meh. I understand inheriting them from the old factory - I'm sure you have a ton of these, but they are bulky, and the lack of a catch lid is kinda annoying. It prevents this from being the ONLY snus someone can carry around, so that addition might bring on more brand loyalty. As you expand your product line brand loyalty is something you're going to want. The graphics on the can are pretty cool, a black can with a red label is great, and the fact that "EXTREME" isn't overdone but is simply stated is good. Keeping it simple but establishing that it is a strong product. I also like the incorporated Swedish flag on the reverse side of the can. Opening the can the aroma is very unique. Strong peppery aromas with a slightly sweet twist and a mellow citrus aroma. Pretty balanced, but very bold and strong. The portions have great mouthfeel, as I've always said with previous Olde Viking incarnations/GN products. Some of the most comfortable portions on the market, right behind LD Black - which is the most comfortable I've had to date. The portions are moist, but not oozing moisture - which I think is the key to a great original portion. Lots of taste right off the bat and the nicotine hit is superb. Hits a lot like a Skruf XTra Stark, very strong stuff. The taste was rather surprising. Usually something with a lot of nicotine is going to be very bitter, but this taste was unique. It's very spicy and bold. I'm not sure if spicy is what you were going for, but if this is the intended result, I like it. Not only is this snus extreme by name, or by nicotine strength, but the taste is very bold, powerful, and spicy. I like that a lot. The peppery notes are very present, a nice mellow salt balance, and a rich tobacco taste rounded out with a nice little citrus twist. The nicotine stays strong for quite some time, and mellows out about the 45 minute mark. The flavor stays strong for quite some time without getting bitter, which I was worried would happen as this is a very strong snus. The after taste isn't bad either. All together a pretty good snus. Spicy, bold, rich, and powerful.
