I just got my order in, and I decided to try out Camel's two new Swedish style snus. So far I have only tried the original.
First, snus companies should take notes on these tins. They are beautiful, and I love the flip top lid. To make the presentation any better, they would just have to do the star packaging like General Sterk Portions do. I am not a big fan of the sloppy thrown in a can look. I usually am anal enough to take them all out and organize them in the pattern myself.
Smell? Maybe I have a weak sniffer but all I smell is straight tobacco with a very slight windex hint (nothing that put me off like most V2 products do). The bergamont (sp?) thing though is no where to be found for me, but I will admit that I have no actual idea what that smells like.
It is a little flowery, and if I had to compare this to anything it would be an extreme mellow version of Skruf stark portion (not the white). Or possibly General.
Not a heck of a lot of flavor for me though. This is a snus that I would not turn down, but that I don't think I would buy again. There are too many that I like a lot to use something I don't really have any strong feelings towards.
So, all in all, not bad, just not great (or at least good enough to purchase again).
I will applaud them though on making this a true Swedish snus though, and not that candy they try to push on us here in the US. And MAJOR kudos on the tin.
