    Oden's Extreme Wintergreen Portions

    Doesn't taste even a tiny bit like wintergreen.

    There - I've said it.

    Nothing - no burn, no mintiness, nothing like wintergreen, just a slightly weird sweet taste on top of the normal Extreme flavour.

    Don't get me wrong - Extreme is a great snus - both in loose and portions. High nicotine - but released in a sensible slow way. But both their Cinnamon and now the Wintergreen taste absolutely nothing like the flavours they are described as. I don't know why they can't make cinnamon taste like cinnamon or wintergreen taste like wintergreen.

    If you like Extreme portions then you probably won't dislike these ... if you are looking for a snus that tastes of wintergreen, then forget it!

    That's sad to hear. I don't get why they can't make their flavors prevalent. The kanel tastes nothing like cinnamon and it's too bad this doesn't taste like wintergreen. Boooo Oden's! :P

      I feel that other manufacturers go way overboard on their flavours which eventually sicken the consumer over a period of time. Take Thunder Wintergreen as a prime example - getting through a tin of that is hard work and unpleasant.

      What I like about Odens products is the excellent tobacco base. I like the way the flavoured products are comparatively muted so that they can all be used as an all day snus.

        I have to agree there. They should take a leaf out of "Grinds - Cinnamon Roll"'s book. Wonderful cinnamon taste. Pity there's no nicotine there lol.

          I love the very muted Wintergreen, would be everyday snus if it was not so strong. This one kicks my butt with a nicotine rush.

          The cinnamon is an epic fail I believe, but I like the underlying tobacco, I only have the los so I can adjust the dosage to a tolerable amount. I can taste very little cinnamon, and natural cinnamon is not that appealing. I was a big fan of the original Odens Kanel, I still have about 4 rolls left. The Vanilla, that I tried in a box pass, kind off completed a triad of very weak flavored snus. I found that only the weak wintergreen appealed to me, and in a big way, but I have never enjoyed wintergreen until GN made his, would be a winner at 8mg.

          I understand the appeal of sterks, but that is just not a pleasant snus experience for me, and I know that it is downright unpleasant for some others as well. No use fighting it because it seems to be the only growing category. I can only respond by retreating back to the 8mg classics, Ettan, Grov, General.

          I seem to regret every purchase I made of the sterks. And of course I tried the V2 Melon and Orange newbies, which have a great flavor, for about ten seconds until that nasty artificial sweetener flavor takes hold, that flavor is so horrible.
          wiki "Popcorn Sutton" a true COOT!

                              love Jalapeno, garlic and tabasco but not sure if in snus, I have to try this to see how it tastes like lol

                              there should be a funny taste to it

                              this would be similar to when I tried Chilli Jam in Bermuda, it tasted sort of funny
