That's a V2 can top with a sticker on it.

Can't wait to see how 'pretty' the can will be once the US warning labels are attached.

Yes, they probably purchase their cans from v2 and then produce their snus and put it in the can.

I'm impressed with you guys! You sure know what's what. It is manufactured by V2 on behalf of Sigar.com of Norway. And the cigar part of the tobacco is a bi-product/waste from cigar manufacturing.

Tried it today for the first time, and I love it. Like smoking a cigar and snusing both at once.

Samples?? When??

[justintempler]

Fredrik any idea when/if there are plans to carry the lös version?

[xrt]

Interesting. I live in Norway, so I'll order a few cans from sigar.com tomorrow.
Never had a cigar in my life, so that should be interesting aswell xD

This sound's awesome... I'm Down for some Samples... Is it going to be available in Los Also?

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Hell yeah! Somebody send me a can of the loose please!

[precious007]

:d

Well yeah, looking for the los version..

Kind'of weird to taste snus with cigar flavor, I wonder if it has a strong cigar flavor.

[Fredrik_Northerner]

Yup, there is a loose version! Both (as I understand it) have already been submitted to the FDA for approval so shouldn't be too long before we can start selling it in the US as well.

Just had some show up today, thought I'd share my thoughts on it.


Earlier today I wrote a preview about a new snus coming from V2 that Northerner.com was selling, and no sooner than I had finished writing it a package with Chess SNUS (as they spell it) miraculously appeared on my doorstep. Am I being watched? Probably.


One of the first things that had me curious was the 50/50 mix between cigar tobacco and snus tobacco. Would this affect the moisture of the snus? Much to my surprise, this snus is much more moist than most - it seems to be higher than 50% moisture content. The portions are very juicy. The aroma of this snus is very interesting. It reminds me of one of the V2 Original Test snuses - OT-2, in that it has this kinda musty smell to it. No citrus hints or notes present - it's just a simple dark tobacco smell with this musty presence to it. However, it's no lightweight in the taste department. It's got a hell of a salt flavor going on, a rich tobacco taste, and a little bitterness mixed in too. I don't know if that's the licorice that the product description has, but it's a possibility. If you like a lot of salt in your snus, a simple tobacco flavor, and aren't a big fan of citrus - you'll probably like this. I can tell it isn't flavored to match the traditional snus flavor profile. In the end it's pretty interesting stuff. It has a unique flavor so if you're looking for something different to try - you'd probably enjoy it.
