I had the Cherry pouches and I did not like them, to me, it was like cherry medicine, but my buddy says he likes them. I had some of the fine cut loose(Peppermint was best, wintergreen, and straight, and it was not "bad", the straight being the worst. Overall, I can't recommend it, but sometimes one just has to try it for themselves.
I've tried the f/c straight, cherry & peppermint portions and they quickly became a few of my 'never-to-buy' again. I rarely throw snus away but I couldn't handle the funky plastic taste in this snus. BUT, everyone has different tastes, so you gotta judge for yourself.
Klondike Snus. The flavor I'm trying is "Peppermint Blast". Comes in 20 portions, and as you can see from the picture they look as though they were just thrown together. They look like dried out Swedish Snus Original portions. To be honest, I sat there and held one in my hand for a few minutes before I decided to even put it in. Since these are American, they don't have the Swedish Snus smell. That's good and bad. Good because people new to snus don't like the smell. But bad because you can't tell it's not a quality product.
Upon putting the new portion in, I immediately noted that it was large, dry and uncomfortable. I suggest pre-wetting these portions. I'm immediately greeted with a suprise - a nice, refreshing peppermint portion. This isn't too bad. The minty taste stayed through the first 30 minutes and led into a mellow buzz. As the mint started to wear off, it does have a weird aftertaste. This isn't a swedish snus, so there isn't a salty aftertaste, but a slightly....artificial aftertaste. Like minty cardboard. However, the first 30 minutes of this snus were great. This isn't too bad, for an American product. Not too overly sweet, mildly strong. The only thing I don't like is the aftertaste, that's when it hits home and tells you that this is not a true Swedish snus.
