Note: at the time of this review Gotlands plain is not for sale. Thank you to Jimmy Karlsson @Gotlandssunus for allowing me to sample both this and the Green los. Hopefully these will be available before too long
Gotlands plain is probably one of the best handling snuses out there. It is easy to bake but not putty like Roda, Prima, or General. It is very coarsely ground (even more so than Grov) but it pack extremely well and is very hand bake/pinch friendly. If you are coming from dip, this will probably be the snus that comes the closest to behaving like dip.................but with all the advantages of snus.
As far as the flavor goes.................this is simply the best plain los I have tried. The Best...........that is why I have been pestering Jimmy constantly (sorry about that mate) to put it out there
Now in comparison to Prima (since other reviewers have mentioned this)........I do not find G.Pain anywhere near as mild as prima (which to this day I still cannot taste). I also do not get the mass produced taste from the Plain that I get from other snuses (especially SM products). If you have ever had Landstroms or Gellivare you may know what I mean. There is just something small batch, old school, and natural about those snuses. Whenever I finish a can of one and pick up say a SM snus I feel I've gone from enjoying something from the garden to ingesting some product from the office vending machine. The point is that GPlain has this exact same quality and Naturalness about it. However, unlike Gellivare or Landstroms (both of which I love) GPlain is not a challenge to handle and is over all a more balanced and well rounded flavored snus.
The flavor it self is a complex, rich, mid note tobacco flavor. There are no frills or candy coatings but this does not make plain.........well........plain......Right the opposite. It allows the blend of tobaccos to come through with all its subtlety and complexity. In turn the flavor is not over the top or obtrusively rich. It is just right for an all day go to snus.
Again, let me say.................. GPlain is one of................ if not the best..................... handling, tasting, balanced los snuses that I have had. And no I do not throw that accolade around loosely or in hypurboly............I mean it. If you ever get a chance.............Try some.............you will not regret it
