General G.3 Slim White Licorice/Mint Strong

[Burnsey]

"It is dry on the surface to prevent dripping and allow an extensive release of flavor." - Swedish Match

For the sake of disclosure, I am a tobacco-centric, original portion snuser using Grov Stark and Ettan as my main dailies. I roll the dice on a flavored snus offering maybe once a year.

About this Licorice/Mint:

- cool tin - I do like the bold change up of the G.3 tins, the purple G.3 patch is cool, excellent container as always from Swedish Match
- portions - 24 at about .7 gr, 16.6 grams of product, long and slim, nice fit in the lip, without a doubt the driest portion I can recall from SM
- nicotine - 14% per gram and just under 10 mg per portion, almost a stark portion
- flavor - this sounds like a great idea, a little mint, a little licorice, I like the concept but the execution is far below what I expect from Swedish Match. I can smell mint/Eucalyptus when the can is opened, and a little bit of the lakrits comes through. There is an initial fleeting flavor of mint which quickly turns to a worn out licorice taste that vaguely reminds me of an Odens Lakrits Original Portion that has been in the lip far too long.

I'll give this one a star (one of five) just for SM's effort.

As always........YMMV

I don't like this snus. I wish they would have kept the XR Salmiak and discontinued this one. Mixing mint and licorice is so, so weird.
