Marlboro Snus? Actually pretty darn good!

I stuck a bunch of Altoids in my mouth afterwards to try and dispell the aftertaste.

I'm almost (but not quite yet) tempted to kill a bottle of
Bailey'sMint Chocolate Irish cream liqueur

Grrrr, just reading over the latest comments is bringing the taste back and I haven't even had the Marlboro shit for days.

Maybe that's what I really need -- a good run to the crapper to totally rid my system.

Salmonella, anyone!!

Way to sweet, I would much rather have the Camel if I had to choose between the two.

They suck and are way expensive... Period.

KTHX.

What I don't get is why the american snus sucks so much compared to the american dip.

In a sense, American dip is "American snus." That is, it developed as the American version of snus used by Scandanavian immigrants, hence the Scandanavian name "Copenhagen." But, yeah, I agree there is no good reason American companies can't put out a decent Swedish-style snus in the modern age. (I do think they are going for a new, different market than the market for American dip though. They are going primarily after smokers, in particular ones who think of dip as too "redneck" or whatever.)

Still going strong having never tried any American snus, and especially after reading these comments, still going strong in my conviction that there is absolutely no reason to cave in and try some. Oh I've tried Discreet, unfortunately, so I guess that counts.

Well, fer sherr, Discreet sure as hell beats out MARLBORO Rich by a long-shot!!
D may be chemically disadvantaged but nowhere close to MR!!

I think Marlboro snus is doomed to fail. The tobacco is extremely dry (I believe less than 10% moisture content) and the flavor is far too sweet. I think Camel snus will gain more traction in the American market, since the packaging is sleek and the advertisements are all over the place.
