    Snus that tastes similar to leaf chewing tobacco?

    Like Red-Man or Beech-nut? I can't describe the flavor sorry, but it's slightly sweet tobacco flavor. Anyone noticed a similar tasting snus?

    Triumph Original... definately a chewing tobacco flavor.

    Available in American Select Markets.

      The closest I've had is Probe. It isn't the same, but with a little imagination you can get the chewing tobacco flavor.

        Most people I've heard describe the flavor as raisin. I can't think of any raisin flavored snus, but I know that Taboca is flavored with fig. It's not sweet at all though...

          I vote for Roda Lacket los. To me it has a similar salty prune flavor that I remember Beech Nut and Redman having, if my memory of 17 years ago serves me right.

            NBSF,

            I second lxskllr's recommendation. Probe is the closest thing out there right now. In fact, the moment I tried it that is exactly what I thought, "American Chew". Another was LD Gold. Unfortunately LD Gold is discontinued.

            Some have suggested Roda. Roda is one of my favorite Snus brands. I don't really see it as a Chew tasting snus. However, I can see how someone who really wanted it to be Chew tasting might find something in the flavor to make the connection. Give em both a try but be warned, Probe is a bit stronger than most "non stark" snuses. I found that it hit me harder than Skruf Stark (which I use regularly).

            Hope this helps.

              The closest I've come to raisin flavored snus is when I drink beers like Fosters or Asahi with Ettan OP. For some reason the beer brings out a raisin flavor in that snus.

                      Call me crazy, but Prima Fint reminds me of the taste of leaf chew.

                        My vote would be Tre Ankre....if that is spelled right. I tried chew a long time ago. But this snus reminded me of it...or maybe a good cigar.
