Blog: American vs. Swedish snus

[Starcadia]

Your right; I tried both of them during my marathon taste-testing snus binge and they are pure tobacco flavor; the Ettan just a little milder than the Grovsnus. But I missed the peppery aftertaste of General!

I'm going to switch it up on my next order and probably get Grovsnus. Has anyone tried the Nick and Johnny East yet? The West just seems to be the high nicotine Nick and Johnny with less snus BUT the fancy square American-style can...for more money. The East is less snus and the fancy can too, but the flavorings seemed interesting. I'm only going to buy a can or two to try it out first unless people here already have and don't think it's worth it.

Seems we may have similar taste. I'm also very curious about the N&J East from people's descriptions here. Let us (me) know what you think.

I want something spicy and peppery. I'm seriously getting tempted to apply a drop or two of picante to a portion of Grov and see what happens.

I tried it the other night. With serious Mexican picante sauce. It didn't work so well. It was still more sweet than it was peppery, and it was hard to tell where the burn was coming from. And was more like food than tobacco.

But yeah -----> :idea:

I like pepper in food, but don't like pepperiness in tobacco or in drink. I found the Famous Grouse too peppery for me. I also don't like peppery vodka. I just got a handle of Skol and it is excellent for ten dollars on sale here. I thnk I will buy two more handles to stock up. But this bottle doesn't have a handle on it. Has a neck which works fine as a handle though. No distinguishable pepperiness in my opinion but some find it does.
