    Offroad Licorice/Lakrits White Portion


    First of all, before I do this review, I've always wondered what "Lakrits" meant, so I Wikipedia'd that stuff. Lakrits is pretty much licorice of the black variety. I tried to translate before when I reviewed Fellinni Lakrito way back when and just left it alone. My SwEnglish isn't quite good enough to translate.....yet. Anyways, on to the review. This is one of two V2 white portions I've reviewed since I started doing Snubie, the other being Phantom Blue (White Portion). V2 doesn't seem to have a huge amount of white portions, like most other companies that have a white portion to almost every original portion they produce. Lakrits comes in a new Offroad can which is kinda this metallic/faded gray color. I really dig it, it's off-black if I had to give it a color.


    When you open the can it's pretty recognizable what smell it is (if you're American and eat Jelly Beans). Ready? Wait for it....wait for it.....mmmmmm. Black Licorice Jelly Belly. If you haven't tried them, buy a bag and check it out. They smell pretty much identical. That's a good thing, because that's one of my favorite jellybeans. The taste is much the same. Tastes like a black Jelly Belly with a fair amount of salt mixed in. I dig this one, really flavorful stuff. The portion is amazingly comfortable for a white portion, one of V2's most comfortable snuses I've tried yet. Good stuff!

    Hmmm.... I've always been a fan of Offroad Licorice los when I have a sweet-tooth craving for snus. How does the portion compare in flavor to the los?

      It seems more mellow than the los.

        Thanks. I'll stick with the los. I'm enjoying a 2-clicker of Offroad Frosted right now. Oddly enough, it seems to go better with Jagermeister than the Licorice...

          I usually hate Licorice. Didn't care for Gotlands Grey. I ended up with some Offroad portion. Then the los. Wonderful stuff! Now a white portion?!?


          I'm sold!!!

            I don't do many reviews cuz my tastes seem to differ from most people. However, if I couldn't get coffe/vanilla ever again this is the snus I would use. I had one portion this morning and I just can't stop thinking about it when we are apart. I highly recommend this if you have a sweet tooth. Tastes very natural. I bet the gals would love this one.
            Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





            I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                Do a search and find out...LOL.

                The White portions are manufactured with a different technique than for the Original Portion, requiring no after-moisturizing. As a result, the portion packets have a white surface, Are dryer,less juice dripping and a slightly milder aroma and a longer-lasting taste, But have slower nicotine release.

                So in short...

                original portion: faster nicotine delivery, faster dripping, stronger taste, but they last less.
                white portions: slower nicotine, less juice dripping, milder taste lasts longer

                    You guys have got me wanting some of this. I wish V2 would release Offroad Coola, the new Thunder Long whatever it may be, and the new batch of Offroad C/V at the same time so I can order them all with this at the same time. I hate paying 30 dollar shipping but V2 is gonna make us do it a bunch this year with all these awesome limited releases and such.

                        First, let me say that I am not usually a big licorice fan..................

                        However, that said, this snus is absolutely fantastic!!! The guys at V2 have hit a winner with this one

                        First the portion material:

                        I have heard a lot regarding the various materials used by various makers.

                        The OR Licorice White material is top notch, very comfortable, and seems every bit the quality of anything I have used from Swedish Match. I had no broken portions and they all seemed evenly filled.

                        Now on to the snus:

                        The flavor is more herbal than candy. However, it is just sweet enough that you avoid the bitterness that you get with something like Gotlands gray.

                        The flavor of the licorice accentuates the tobacco nicely without domineering it.

                        The result is a nice well balanced semi-sweet snus that I highly recommend you try at least once. Even if you are not a licorice fan, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

                        Nice work V2.......... I will definitely keep a few cans of this on hand for those times when portions are required
                        When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers
