Rocket White Mint Strong

[ESjonne]

Recently discovered this new product by Swedish Match. It has nicotine content of 12mg/g. Portions are normal 0.9g portions and there is 17.1g of snus in each can. The portions are pretty comfortable in mouth but the tobacco is in some portions in one "hard" piece (of course you can break it up with your hands) and in some it's in few pieces. The taste is similiar to Catch Pure Mint and Offroad White Eucalyptus so the tobacco taste is minimal if there even is some. I would not compare it to Catch White Eucalyptus cause the dominating taste is mint, not eucalyptus although there are some hints of euca in Rocket also.
Here are some pictures of this treat.





If you have tried it, feel free to post your review! If you haven't i suggest you to do so if you like minty snus with extra nicotine kick!

Haha, I have to try them all, even if I know they won't be any good.

I would love to try this. Lately I have been using mostly white portions with a mix of los and op. I would pick up a few of these if I had the chance.

It's in regular sale in Sweden
btw, it's a budget snus so don't expect too much from it Have been using this quite a lot mostly because of the price and it gets lousier can after can, but i guess every snus does

Here's what happened:

Rocker Snus (and its factory) get bought by PMI. PMI kills Rocker and changes the Rocker White portion into Phillip Morris 1847 and puts it in a fancy metal can. The snus still sucks though.

Then when PMI partnered up with SM, SM had the rights to use all of PMI's brand names (Marlboro, PM 1847, Rocker, etc). You'll recall that SM made their own version of 1847 for awhile.

Then SM resurrected the Rocker name for a budget line of high-nicotine snus. But someone decided that "Rocker" had too many bad memories associated with it so they changed it at the last minute to Rocket. The Rocker (or Rocket) Mint is basically the US version of General Mint with an added kick. I don't believe that we'll be seeing these in the US anytime soon, but if I hear different I'll let you know.

See- we prophesied in the first issue of the STE that Rocker would return! 2 and a half years later, it's back on the shelf. With a slightly different name.

Now I'm going to use my mental powers to predict that by 2014 we'll have Level snus back and it will cost less than 2.00 a can...
