    Goteborgs Rape N02

    Just trying a white portion of this snus.
    Tastes like berries or some sort of fruit drink I can't identify.
    The pouch is very white and dry to touch, but once wetted releases flovour and vitamin N very well. Quite a sharp flavour.
    I think I like Lingonberries, whatever they are?
    Stronger tobacco and more nicotine would be perfect though.
    I apologise for my poor reviews skills in advance :lol:

    I think GR No.2 has just enough nicotine to make me happy. Quite a nice berry flavor too that doesn't taste unnatural, unlike some other flavored snuses.
    I keep 'em in for about 2 hours while working and stuff.
    More of a luxury portion snus if you ask me. They're just a tad overpriced IMO.

        I didn't realise they were expensive, I bought a roll of General, a can of No2 and a can of offroad wintergreen to fill the postage calculator limit.
        I have to say though, the flavour of the No2 did "die down" quite quickly, the wintergreen had a longer "life".
        Still, a nice fruity flavour. I'll have to watch what they charge me for it though!

          Hi Zero, Are they the same as Artic Cloud berries, I don't know their proper Norweigen name, but I tried those once and they were stunning.
          I love good jam, especially made from wild fruits 8)
          Those Scandinavians are clever people, bless them.

            The name "lingonberry" originates from the Swedish word lingon for the native cowberry. The cowberry is also called mountain cranberry, lowbush cranberry, European cranberry, and wild cranberry. Because these alternate names perpetuate the longstanding confusion between the cranberry and the cowberry, some botanists have suggested that these names should be avoided. Many restaurants and nutritionists however use and recommend these alternate names to help increase acceptance and consumption of this delicacy and exceptionally nutritious fruit that is unknown in many English-speaking countries.

            ...Lovely tasting Snus IMO

              Hey, hey another UK snuser.
              Thanks MW, you couldn't use your superior researching skills and find out what the artic cloudberry is, could you? I think they are from Norway!

                There's an interesting artcile on Cloudberries here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudberry

                Nice to know that I'm not the only Snuser in the UK

                  The cloudberry grows in the UK too, I didn't know that.

                    For sure. I never thought I would get off the cigarettes with NRT being so vile but I can truely say that I actually prefer Snus to smoking these days. I'm not even tempted when I'm drunk anymore. I'd much rather pop a pouch in. I live in hope of seeing a Snus fridge appear in my local Asda

                      I agree, I haven't Snused for long (2weeks) but I have done the beer test and passed, NO PROBLEM. In fact fags stink to be honest.
                      Have you ever seen one of those mythical beast's (Snus fridge)?
                      My wife and I are going to go to Sweden at some point this year, do you think they'll laugh at me if I pulled out the camera phone to get a picture? :lol: Or do they understand our problem?

                        I know what you mean about fags stinking when you've quit. You come to realise just how much you stank when you were smoking.

                        I've only seen what I saw in this video http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...snus_movie.flv (try not to drool too much! )

                        My girlfriend isn't too keen on our next holiday being in Sweden as she's only too aware of the kind of sight seeing I would like to do and there wouldn't be much room left for clothes in our luggage when we come back. I wonder if the Swedish Match factory does tours and free samples after

                          :shock: That wasn't a factory???that was a hospital :shock: well a clean hospital.
                          Did you see the quality control, that was ridiculous.
                          I going to tell my local shop to keep a little floorspace for one of them Fridges.
                          What brand with the great silver lid was shown in the last moments?
                          We are backwards in this damn country ops:

                            Nevermind the fridges - although they're a bit more expensive (as things tend to be in pubs) if you go into any pub they've got refrigerated vending machines for snus! Just pop in a few crowns and *poof* instant tin of fresh snus
