Catch Glow, 6th in the Catch Collection series!

[chadizzy1]

A new snus is coming soon from the popular Catch Collection line. Following this years first entry, Catch Collection//Mellow comes Catch Collection//Glow! Glow is described as "Glow has a mild tobacco character with clear hints of elder and lime." I don't really know about "elder", I'm thinking maybe Elderberry/Elderflower which can be used to make wines and marmelades. I'm really excited about the lime flavor, I think that's something the snus market is missing out on. Not sure how these two flavors are going to mix up, but it should be interesting! Look for a review to come soon.

That sounds good - like Gotland Green with a bit more bite.

It does sound interesting, indeed. I'll be looking to buy a can when it's available, for sure.

I just got a can This Morning May 25th from Northerner; -The can is a hot looking can.
ASIDE FROM THAT... THIS STUFF SUCKS!
-It taste's NOTHING LIKE GOTLAND'S FLADER. It made me think of women's perfume with a lime scent that does NOT taste natural.
GARBAGE. I will give this away to chicks at bars..
3/10

My recent review.


If you've read my reviews in the past, you know I'm a big fan of the Catch Collection series. From Mint Vanilla to Fresh Peppermint, Rhubarb to Cardamom/Cinnamon - the Catch line is truly one of the most innovative snus lines in the snus industry to date. Every 4 months, Swedish Match released a flavor which comes in a white mini portion. Despite the fact that I don't like minis, I do dig this, I just have to double up on the portions. Each release comes in a different color, usually representing the flavor - this one being Elder Lime has a yellow color to represent the citrus, I presume. I usually like to start with the aroma - in the case of this release it smells like a lemon cleaning product - like lemon pledge. I was a little worried....did Swedish Match fail me? After a solid 5 releases in this line, was the 6th going to let me down? I decided to be brave and pop two (double barrel style) in and see what's going on with this snus. Now, the flavor is a mix of Elder (from the Elder Flower - much like in the Gotland's Green snus, and lime. Now, Gotland's Green being one of my favorite snuses, I was excited to see how this would compare. The comparison is simply in name alone - I do not detect a flavor similar to Gotland's Green. But, don't stop reading this review there.


The flavor does come through as lime/lemon flavor - the closest thing I can compare it to is the citrusy, slightly sour taste of the new Mountain Dew Distortion, or Squirt. The flavor isn't sweet at all, it is a slightly sour taste - which I don't mind, this is something different - which I love about the Catch Collection line, getting to try something new ever few months that may not be something I'd keep around all the time, but is always a welcome detour. The flavor does have a nice little salt balance kicking around in the background, so that's a nice, pleasant surprise. The flavor stays around for quite a while, which I've noticed a lot of the Catch Collection line. No tobacco flavor, this is straight up lime, a little salt, nothing more nothing less. It is what it is. If you're a fan of lime, Squirt, Mountain Dew, or any kind of sour citrus, I find you may enjoy this one. It's very pleasant.

Lime and salt... the only thing missing is the tequila!

I'm surprised catch hasn't come out with some type of ginger snus. I'd love to see something along those lines but I don't know how popular it'd be on the Swedish / Norwegian market...

I stand corrected.......Forgot about Cozy and Fresh. :-)

The reviews (Chad's and Dr. Snus') are in line with my inexpert opinions.

Interesting feel too. The pouch has a very nice mouth feel.

It has an odd burn - there's a sensation, but not really a burn - this doesn't make sense, but I'd call it a "cool" burn.

As soon as the semi-waxy Pledge flavor melts away (about a minute and this is not as unpleasant as it sounds) it gets really tasty and stays that way for a long time.

The salt is not margarita level salty - its subtle.

Overall, a very good snus with an interesting flavor that I think would appeal to people who like Gotland Flander or Oomph Citrus/Menthol (or Pledge - joking ... kind of).
