Reviews for Montecristo Los.

Just received a can of this from Northerner, and first impressions are very good.
The can is a work of art. Same diameter as a regular snus tin, but about 60% of the height and made of rubberised metal. It looks great and is very comfortable to carry in the back pocket of a pair of jean. But hey - who really cares about the tin. What about the snus?
When you open the can, the aroma is amazing. It's a very strong citrus and tobacco smell with none of the ammonia or skunky smell that some snus has. Even my wife likes the smell of this.
The texture is a very moist fine grind - and I found it impossible to hand bake. But I've got an icetool and it works great with that. One click on a 4ml icetool yields a 1.07g pris (let's just call it a gramme), and at 11mg of nicotine per 1g of snus, it's a decent strength too.
The taste is strong bergamot and pure tobacco - but the bergamot is particularly clean and fresh in this snus.
I've only had this in for 15 minutes, so I can't comment yet on the longevity of the flavour, or it's inclination to slide, but watch this space.... -
I've had a couple of prisen of this now, and I'm really enjoying it.
I don't think it will ever be my go to los, because the taste is probably a bit too floral and spicy for that, but it's certainly very enjoyable.
The bergamot flavour is the most noticeable, but then there's a tobacco flavour that really reminds me of empty cuban cigar boxes.
The downside is that you only get 35g in the tin, so it's expensive.
The flavour seems to last a good while, I've been up to the 90 minute mark with it still going strong and no mudslides or anything.
All in all, it's a nice, enjoyable, different los that I'll order every now and again.
I love the can far more than I should. This and the Lucky Strike cans are almost fetish objects!Comment
