Grand Prix Snus

[gentlemanly]

Well I bought the first of three flavors of Grand Prix snus today. The flavors are wintergreen, spearmint, and original, at $3.99 a can. I got the spearmint (would post a pic, but haven't figured out how to do that). This is not quite as sweet as the Camel frost, but did give me a bit of a minty burn which I kind of liked...again...not as bad as the camel. 20 pouches, .6 grams per pouch. Manufactured in Sweden (by Snusab) under the authority of Liggett Group. This snus lasts for a long time, I had my first portion in for about an hour and forty five minutes before it started to get just a teeny bit runny, until then...no snus juice at all. When it did run...it tasted a little like cardboard though. Overall it was pretty decent. But then again, my tastes are pretty different from many on this forum.

I'm really glad you enjoyed this stuff...

REALLY glad...

:wink:

I picked a can up this week at my local Low Bob's Discount Tobacco (2.49$ US a can). I went with the Wintergreen.

This stuff is single-handedly the worst thing I have ever put in my trap. The flavor was non-existent for about the first ten minutes, then I was treated to the oh-so-wonderful flavor of cardboard for another half an hour. Had the can not stated that the flavor was, in fact, wintergreen, I would have had no idea that it even had a flavor.

I would actually willfully use the Camel or Tourney stuff again before I had to resort to this. I "enjoyed" one portion, then gave it to my friend Jeff, who works the counter there, as he recently decided to go on a snus adventure of his own. Ironically, he liked it, too. :lol:

So this is different from the Tourney snus then? I thought they were the same product but marketed with a different name.

Don't get me wrong....I will enjoy my true snus more than the americanized stuff......but in a bind and out of snus, I will go to this instead of camel. Its not the best, but its not the worst either. At least for me, it is palatable.
