Well I'm on my second portion of this. This will probably not be a rebuy. First impressions:

Very medical menthol tasting. It's not a bad snus, just different. It does go well with coffee surprisingly. I can't really tell what the spices are. All I taste is medicated menthol.

I just put some in as well.

Immediate reaction: There are definitely hints of some spices, but they are overpowered pretty strongly by the eucalyptus/menthol flavor. The spices according to their promotional information are "cardamom, ginger, mint, parsley, etc." I think I can taste a bit of bitter cinnamon in there as well. The menthol flavor is enough to fill up the room of my office (other people asked what I was eating, hehe).

After 20 minutes: I do have to say that the strong menthol aromatics do back down quite a bit as the portion stays in for a while. This might be one of those snuses that tastes better after it's been in for a bit. The ginger is easier to taste, and there's some peppery flavor as well. The "tobacco" flavor is also coming forward. (Sorry to use pretentious sounding descriptions... I'm not very eloquent...) It almost reminds me of Nick and Johnny's "East" portions that they produced a while ago, but I didn't really care for those, whereas I'm definitely pleased with this portion right now.

Overall, don't let a negative reaction initially put you off. If you're the type to keep portions in for longer than 15 minutes, I think you'll enjoy some of the complexity from this white portion once it gets going. But if you take your portions out after only a few minutes, you'll probably only like this if you enjoy minty menthol snuses.

By the way, veganpunk, I didn't really pick up a "mediciney" taste like I did with some of the V2 snuses, which kind of reminded a lot of people of Windex glass cleaner. This was just kindof a straightforward (overpowering) menthol.

On opening the can, I caught the menthol scent, but it's more natural than the synthetic menthol scents I'm used to. But for the most part, it's overpowered by something that smells more like isopropyl alcohol than anything.

At first, it's just a vaguely spicy sack. Auggie was right, though, it really does take a while to get going. After about a half hour, my mouth is filled with pepper, menthol, and some other spicy and herbal tastes I can't quite put my finger on. Overall, it tastes quite a bit more organic than any other snus I've tried.

I should also note that the nicotine doesn't seem to hit until about the time the flavor becomes apparent, at which point it's a straightforward kick to the mouth.

I'll probably end up ordering a single can here and there with my staple snuses.

I got some of this in yesterday, as well as several other brands. As is the case with me I'm quite impatient and want to try all my new flavors as quickly as I can, so I only left the CK in for a few minutes.

Now I sit trying it again and as the 2 posters above me mentioned, it takes a bit to get all the flavor. I like that it has a strong spicy flavor to it. Though I should say that it may be too overpowering for the Miller Lite I'm currently drinking. I may have to get some Guiness tomorrow night to see how that works. I find myself rubbing my tongue against the CK more so than with other snus flavors as the peppers and menthol give it a nice tingle.

I can see keeping a can of this handy for when I need something to spice up my life*.

I had a couple of these they're pretty good. It has slaked lime though (E529) which is probably bad for your mouth, not sure if that makes it unhealthier than other tobacco since they don't add betel nut which is what I think makes stuff really bad and it was listed on the ingredients to be fair. Way better than mango.
