Gotland Summer Snus Is Out

[Skell18]

Okay thats it! I cannot take it anymore and am going to place a order. Nice review.

Do it before they run out, once its gone, its gone! i only have 3 cans left

I have to agree this snus really does have a wild and organic slightly sweet berrylicious taste.

I threw a can of this into my latest order from snuscentral. I'm always pleased with Gotlands/Jakobssons products; great mouth feel, big fat portions, nice nicotine hit, and very long lasting. The flavor was really cool, and tasted good. Only bad thing about it, to me, is it left this kinda nasty/waxy feel in my lip, with a very artificial aftertaste. I won't order it again, but overall, I'm glad I ordered a can!

I bought some at the store today, I didn't like it. For some reason the only extra flavored snus I can enjoy is Göteborgs Rapé Lingon, all the others taste like perfume to me. Usually i'm a General/Ettan/Grov lös user, for portions I go General Long or Grov Black.

I love Gotlands Summer snus. Strawberry is my favorite fruit flavor and they nailed it on the head. I typically use regular tobacco flavored snus, but this is a nice change of pace.

Had only one portion of these from a friend but damn that was maybe the best damn snus i've ever had. Not sure what will it be like after using much of it though,..

Just got a roll of this the other day and I am really liking it.
It is a good fruity snus.

Well, I'm a lucky SoB. A friend sent me some of this snus, so I got a chance to try it. I'll post my thoughts here, and copy/paste it to the review section...

The tin is fantastic looking. Great label. I've been a big fan of Gotlandssnus' graphic design across their whole line. Whatever they're paying their graphics team, it's money well spent :^)

The scent of the snus is recognizable as the strawberry an American would be familiar with. There's nothing really different about it, it smells like berry. The very first taste is typical of American strawberry also, but it changes lightening quick. The berry flavor is constantly there, but it has an undercurrent of something else I haven't been able to put my finger on. It's kind of herbal, and reminds me of raspberry leaves, or what I'd expect raspberry leaves to taste like anyway. The sweetness was added with a feather touch, so it shouldn't be off putting to a traditional snuser, of which I generally consider myself a part of. The trademark Gotlandssnus bitterness is always there. Some snusers, especially new ones may not like that at first, but it gives a nice edge to the snus, and gets addictive after awhile. Like adding hops to beer, it may not be as immediately approachable as a dessert wine, but imo it adds character, and allows for longer term enjoyment. The flavor is long lasting, but never too cloying where I got tired of it.

This is a first rate snus that should appeal to Americans without catering to them. The sweetness and flavor aren't overdone, and the flavor balances nicely with the tobacco. It's a great snus for the summer time, and a good flavor for adults that want something fruity, but don't want to feel as though they're eating candy. It's complicated enough to hold lasting interest, but not so foreign that it would put off those that are new to Swedish snus. So, final word is this is a must try snus, and another masterpiece by Gotlandssnus, and Jimmy :^)

I say it with a heavy heart, but this is the first Gotlands I've met that I didn't like.



Well, I should qualify that a bit really. It's the first Gotlands I met that didn't like ME.

The flavor is, as advertised, a nice summery strawberry, and it's a good flavor too. Unfortunately, it is fairly heavily dosed with an artificial sweetener. Those who have read my posts over the past couple of years, particularly on the issue of snus and health, will know that artificial sweeteners and I are mortal enemies. I really can't use them to a greater extent than the occasional can of General Mint/Wintergreen, and I knew this going in to Sommersnus, but I couldn't NOT try it, right?

But yeah, the sweetener hit me like a freight train after 2 portions, and back into the fridge it went to be exchanged for some Grov.

I wanted to like it, too!(but I'd rather have Gul back, Jimmy)

You thought it was heavy? I thought the sweetener was a fairly light addition. It's there for sure, but less than the Jakobssons strong varieties. I'd put it on par with the girly snuses that were around when I started snusing.

I hardly nootice the sweetner, in the WG you notice it but with the sommar snus I hardly taste it.

Yeah, it seemed that way, but I am apparently pretty damn sensitive to the stuff, and hadn't had any, at all, for a long time, so that may have had an effect as well. Not 'Camel Sweet', mind you......

Other than that, it was nice!
