    Speed-Dating Snus: 10 flash reviews

    Got my first order and decided to try them all, giving each one 10-15 minutes, with a total of ten cans tasted.

    Started pretty conservative and then alternated with flavored snus.

    Took me about 2 hours and was pretty buzzed by the end.

    GENERAL LONG PORTION EXTRA STRONG
    Stings my upper lip, but tastes good. Tobacco, leather, and mown hay w/ herbal highlights. Too strong at 2% nic for me right now.

    GOTEBORGS RAPE WHITE LARGE PORTION LIME
    No burn, smaller pouches. Better size for me. Could sip a corona through this. 0.8% nic with a nice herbal smell & just a hint of lime.

    ONYX STRONG PORTION
    Black pouch, similar smell as General. A little smoother than General. Sweet notes, salty. 1.2% nic. Slowly rising nic hit. Very satisfying.

    ODEN'S EXTREME VANILLA PORTION
    Very strong & pungent aroma out the the can. Not really tasting the vanilla. 2.2% nic has a kick. Could see this one after a big meal. Salty, no sweetness. Not as peppery as General. No burn, easy on gums.

    BLUE OCEAN BLUE PORTION
    Attractive blue pouches. Cool sting on the gums, a bit of mint. Got quite a bite. Not a bad flavor - cut through the previous taste. Growing on me, didn't want to let it go after 15min. But I must, for science. I'll buy a log.

    KRONAN WHITE PORTION
    1.1% nic. Stings. Can't really taste it at this point. Will have to try this later. So far, Meh.

    ISLAY WHISKEY SNUS
    No real aroma of whiskey, but it's up front in the flavor. 0.8% nic. Helluva nice can design. Mildly salty, no burn. Mellow, smooth flavor; a little sweet. Very moist, should hold up well in the freezer. No off flavors, very well balanced. Oaky, slow drip. Definitely getting a roll of this. Want an Irish coffee. Hard to take it out after 15 min. Keeper.

    GOTEBORGS RAPE LARGE WHITE PORTIONS
    0.8% nic. Very spicy arome, bland taste at first. Islay might be a hard act to follow. Not much salt, might be a plus. Pretty subtle flavors, nothing stands out but it's very smooth and balanced. Nice tobacco taste, pretty clean. A few herbal notes, no sweetness. No sting. Could work this a long while, could also let it go. Would buy more for a less intense snus. Piney aftertaste.

    OFFROAD ORIGINAL PORTION
    Nice sweet & saltiness. Musty aroma. Similar to General. Nothing exciting. Extra sweetness.

    Needless to say I was a bit dizzy when I stood up...

    Overall, there's nothing here I wouldn't buy again. The Islay and Blue Ocean really stood out. Next order will explore more of the flavored snus. Oden's Extreme Vanilla has potential too.

          T.J's house.........oh my........how very un-commonwealth of you.....

          Anyway

          Combo....great review....way to take one for the team bro.........I think you are spot on with your roll buy candidates.........though I have never tried blue ocean (so I can't speak to that one).......However, I would suggest that you ponder Onyx......it is a fine snus that will stand side by side with your other selections.......
          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

            Jeff State is in the Pacific Northwest, comprised of rural counties in So. Oregon and No. Cal... we seceded

            I sure do like that Onyx. Having one right now. Blue Ocean has a slight minty flavor I like. My next order will have more of those types for a trial.

                  Stay north on the I-5, and you'll be good to go.
