Pall Mall Original Review

[Grim]

Got my can this morning and cracked it open to give you guys a review on what this is all about.

Just to let you know, it comes in a regular plastic can.

It has a pretty complex flavor.

I would describe it as Jakobssons meets General.

It has that Jakobssons taste but its not bitter and has a bergamot hint to it.

The first whiff upon opening the can was just a good tobacco aroma.

Ive had it in about 45 minutes and the flavor is still going good.

It doesnt leave that filmy residue that General seems to leave.

Overall I give it a 4 out of 5.

Its not extraordinary but its good and i would definately re-order

I'm wondering if it has the heavy smoke notes that the Luckies have. My throat usually doesn't do to well with the brands which have too much smoke additives.

[Grim]

I didnt get a heavy smoke flavor.

Your tastes may differ from mine but its advertised as a traditional snus flavor profile and to me thats exactly what it is.

Good tobacco flavor with a slight twist of citrus.

The citrus takes a back seat to the tobacco.

I my opinion, Pall Mall finds a great balance between exceptional tobacco flavor and bergamot.

This is not a bitter or rough tasting snus.

Its clean with a little burn and a little bit of bite and overall well rounded.

[jamesstew]

Well Grim you sold me, adding one tin to next order.

[Grim]

Hope i havent lead you down the wrong path.

This is just what i taste and your opinions may differ.

Ive used most of the portions out there and los as well.

So out of my flavor experiences I was able to compare my tastes and compare this snus and that review was what I came up with.

But i think you will enjoy it.

[jamesstew]

Don't worry chum, tobacco flavor with a touch of bergamot describes my ideal snus. I regularly enjoy Taboca, Gustavas, and Jakobsson's as my portion faves. Also when I do encounter something I don't like it goes in the freezer as a backup. When the chips are down and I'm all out I'd even prefer N&J East or Offroad to Camel.

[Grim]

after much thought and review, Pall Mall doesnt taste anything like lucky strike.

It is really nothing with any smoke flavor.

Its like general.

To everyone out there please try this snus, i think it is an equal to a high end snus.

Its f-ing delicous

Grim, I don't mean to be contrary, but if you check swedishsnus.com, General, Ettan, Grov, Kronan, Göteborg's PF and Röda Lacket all have added smoke flavoring.

Rökarom is the smoke flavoring in the ingredient list.

[Grim]

LOL, I never said it did not have smoke flavoring.

I just said couldnt taste it.

I realize what they have in them, im just saying you cant taste it.

In luckys you can taste it but in the others you can not.

If General has smoke flavoring its very minute because general tastes nothing like smoke.

[cocsp2002]

Ah. My mistake. I know what you mean, I'm having trouble tasting the "strawberry" or "licorice sweet" flavor in my rL...

[jamesstew]

Rökarom is just basically liquid smoke. Maybe a hickory or mesquite snus or barbecue flavor should be marketed. Anyway I put in the order for some PallMall snus, I'm pretty sure I'll like it after Grim's endorsement but also just want a snus can that says Pall Mall. Maybe PM could come out with a Basic snus, a GPC snus can would be awesome.

[Grim]

I will probably order a roll of the pall mall in the future as a portion staple.

I love my luckies but the Pall Mall is just a nice change of pace for my portion choice. Although Guinness and Lucky Strike Snus compliment each other so well.

Its just the right balance IMHO.

[fedora]

Well Grim, you've sold me. I ordered meself a can today from Northerner. Can't wait to get it.

(They should give you a free can or 2 for the reviews you've given here!)

[Grim]

LOl, thank you man.

There are alot more seasoned vets on here than myself.

Ive tried most snus out there and I try to make reviews in such a manner where people can relate to them.

I wish I could get a free can , lol, but im not asking for one.

I just enjoy good snus and great companies and when one comes out with a great snus that makes me happy.

And when companies get involved on the forums here such as V2 and Gotlands, that shows dedication to their customers instead of just mass producing average grade snus and putting a new name on it and expect us to buy it.

Thats why I strongly support V2 and will Strongly support gotlands if they will ever make a Jakobssons Los.

Oh, and there is no smoke flavor listed on the ingredients list on the back of the Pall Mall can.
