LD (White Portion) Review. 8 Oct 09.
LD is a value priced snus from Gallaher. That being said, that is about all the info I could find online about LD before I tried it a few weeks ago. Surprisingly, it's not something that's very discussed. I say surprisingly because it is a really good snus. A good friend of mine on SnusOn, and someone whose opinion I respect said "OMG, why haven't I tried this?". I was quickly inspired to order some.
One thing that I really like about LD is the catch lid is a hinged lid. It's really cool. I keep my snus in my laptop bag when I'm at work, and I can't count how many times I've had a catch lid disappear. So this is something that I really like about this. Opening the can, I found a very mild, gentle aroma of citrus. Now, the one complaint I have about LD. The few cans of this I have gone through, I have found the portions to be very inconsistent. Bunched up in one side, or flat, just inconsistent. The amount of snus in the portion is consistent, but not the presentation. I have to fluff every portion I use. But that is the only complaint I have, and a very mild one.
On to the portion and the flavor. The white portion material is very comfortable. I can't really compare it to anything, because the look and mouth feel of it is something different from any other white portion non-flavored snus I've tried. But it is very comfortable. After fluffing the snus and putting an LD White portion into my mouth (and again, as I've said before - tastes vary), I immediately get a hint of chocolate. I don't know why, and it only lasts about 15-20 minutes, but this is in every LD White portion I try. After that flavor passes, the mild tobacco flavor comes in, accompanied with hints of a citrus flavor. Now, this is where it gets interesting. The citrus flavor I taste is not of bergamot, it's not lemon, it's something very unique. Mandarin Orange. I kid you not. I've never tasted this is in a bergamot label snus. So it was very interesting the flavor development that LD White takes. After an hour, the tobacco and Mandarin Orange flavors mingle, there is a very mild, but VERY subtle flavor of salt that is in the background, but nothing noticable unless you're looking for it. No pepper.
LD White is a great snus. I found a portion lasts between 1 hour and 2 hours. It's a value priced snus, which is a good thing - because getting something this good cheaper than alot of other ones is a hell of a deal. If you haven't tried it, or have toyed with the notion of checking it out, I strongly urge you to.
