I just my order from Sweden including 2 cans of 01 (a pity that as soon as I made the order, getsnus.com got it in-stock). I am on my 2nd portion of it, and I am liking it a lot.
The shape is quite nice. As has already been pointed out, it is much closer to Camel snus size than standard General size. While standard size snus never really showed much under my lip, what this does do is prevent the "brown corner smile", where you show a bit of the portion when you smile. Some people proudly display their use of snus, but there are some times when I would rather not, such as at work, school, etc.
I am not exactly sure what the "no drip" means, because it is producing about a normal amount of juice for me. The no drip did have me a bit worried because I was wondering if the snus was going to have no flavor. I was definitely wrong. 01 has much more of a natural tobacco taste than General and many other Swedish-Match snus. I remember the first time I tried General, it tasted a bit like Nestle Instant Lemon Ice Tea. While I don't get that anymore, my first impression of 01 is tobacco, through and through. There are light notes of cedar and minerals to it, but overwhelmingly, it is a natural tobacco taste. I am quite fond of it so far. The salt is just right for me, which means that I can taste it, but it is not over-powering like even General can be every once in a while.
Even with the "no drip" design, I am noticing some momentary teeth browning as the juice does its thing, just like I experience with General original portion. I would hope that SM is planning to release an 01 white portion snus in the near future.
All in all, I enjoy it a lot. I will be waiting to finish these 2 cans before I would ever consider buying a roll, but I think this one does have a lot of potential. It could even became a daily snus for me.
