I got a can of Oden’s Kanel and Classic a week or so ago (both loose and both regular strength). I don’t have much to add to what has already been said about the Kanel except I liked it but not enough to make it a regular in my rotation.
What I have not seen is a review of the Classic. So here goes:
First, let me say I really like this stuff (and I didn’t think I was going to)
The cut is on the course end of the spectrum. I would put it in the family of Knox, Gotlands, and Grov
Strength wise, the flavor is a good sturdy medium. It is not overpowering but neither is it missing in action. It’s just a good smooth snus.
As far as the flavor itself, I would compare it to a Granit. However, instead of the citrus, it seems to have a very subtle hint of mint. In fact, I would say the presence of the mint is very much like the presence of the cinnamon in the Kanel. In other words, it is there, but you almost have to look for it to notice it (which by the way I really appreciate. I have long since been done with chewing gum/toothpaste flavored tobacco).
My only complaint, and it is not a big one in Oden’s case, is that like the V2 products I have tried Oden’s has that plastic wax like coating thing going on with the tobacco. Such, that it reminds me of the cheaper brands of American dip (like Timber Wolf). I almost believe that there is some body out there who gathers up all the discarded plastic plants in the world, shreds them, dumps tobacco flavoring on it, and slaps it in a can. However, with Oden’s the plastic effect was much less noticeable.
In the final analysis, I included a roll of it in my latest order. Give it a try. I think it is worth a test can, if for no other reason than the uniqueness of the mint flavor in the world of loose.
