One Svart - November 20, 2020

Swedish Match relaunched their One line recently. One was originally launched with three flavors, General One White, General One Original, and Göteborg's Rapé One. These three flavors were relaunched along with two new flavors. Today we'll be reviewing One Svart. Swedish Match describes One Svart as having a "dark and spicy tobacco character with hints of bergamot and citrus, as well as some tea and leather".

One Svart comes in a gold can with a black label. Svart is Swedish for black so keeping in line with the other products in the One line, the label matches the name. One is in the middle of the can, really drawing your eye to it. One is also in a bronze color, really making the entire design really sleek. Each can comes with 20 portions, weighing .9g each, totaling 18g. The nicotine content is 13mg/g which is 11.7mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll find the very classic General aroma. Bergamot is up front with tobacco mixing well with the bergamot. The flavor is very similar to the aroma. Bergamot and tobacco up front. There is a hint of citrus in the background which really ties the flavor together. If you've had the One Vit, this is very similar to that snus, but Svart is bolder. The nicotine strength feels to be between regular and strong strength and the flavor lasts between 30-45 minutes.

This product is very well done. The new portion material that Swedish Match is using for the One line is so thin, the flavor release is unlike anything I've ever had with portion snus. I would love to see Swedish Match start using this portion material with other products!

Göteborgs Rapé Lingon - November 18, 2020

Between Göteborgs Rapé Hjortron and Göteborgs Rapé Lingon, I usually have about 3 or 4 cans of each in my fridge. These are two flavors that I've always enjoyed. Swedish Match has always delivered on their flavors, and Göteborgs Rapé Lingon is no different. Swedish Match describes this snus as having a "bright tobacco character with clear elements of lavender and lingonberry, as well as some herbs and citrus".

Göteborgs Rapé Lingon comes in the classic GR can. A gold can with a blue reflective label. Göteborgs Rapé is in the center of the can with White Large Lingon just under and to the right a little. The Göteborgs Rapé can is a classic look and Swedish Match knows this. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .9g each, totaling 21.6g. The nicotine content is 8mg/g which is 7.2mg/portion.

If you've never heard of a lingonberry, they are a tart berry. They are not very sweet, but there is a little sweetness behind the tart of the berry. Now, when you first open the can, you'll find that tartness from the lingonberries, and behind that is a light flowery aroma. The taste is very similar to the aroma. A tart lingonberry with hints of lavender behind it. There is a light tobacco character behind the lingonberry and lavender, but is not overbearing or too up front. The nicotine strength feels to be a the regular strength and the flavor lasts about 45-60 minutes.

This snus is one I always have in stock. Swedish Match did a really good job with this snus and I am really happy that this product has been around for as long as it has. I have not found any other snus with this flavor profile yet. I'd like to see other companies takes on this one so maybe in the future we'll get another Lingon flavored snus!

Yoyo New York - November 17, 2020


Nicotine pouches are going to be the next big thing. Their growing popularity in the EU and US have companies making more and more of them to reach a larger market. Yoyo is a new line with three flavors. Yoyo LondonYoyo Havana, and Yoyo New York. Yoyo New York is described as a "nicotine pouch with the fresh taste of mint".

Yoyo New York comes in a white can with a white and blue label. Across the front and side of the can, you'll find some of New York's most iconic scenes. Each can comes with 20 portions, weighing .55g each, totaling 11g. The nicotine content is 15mg/g which is 8.25mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll find a pleasant peppermint. It's a very straightforward aroma and flavor. You'll find the cooling presence you'll find with other mint products at first, then subsiding to a classic peppermint flavor. The nicotine strength is definitely at the strong level and the flavor lasts around 30-45 minutes.

This is a mint nicotine pouch. Nicotine pouches are growing in popularity and mint is by far the most popular flavor around the world so it made sense to make a mint product in this new line. The nicotine strength is stronger than I like to enjoy, but overall this is still a good product. You can find this product, and many more, at SnusMe.com and be sure to use the promo code "SNUSAY" at checkout for an extra 10% off your order!

Yoyo Havana - November 16, 2020


Nicotine pouches are not going anywhere. They're getting more and more popular by the day, especially in the EU where snus is illegal. Yoyo is a newer line with three new products. Yoyo New York, Yoyo London, and Yoyo Havana. Yoyo Havana is described as a "nicotine pouch with the fresh taste of Mojito". A mojito is a Cuban drink containing rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water and mint.

Yoyo Havana comes in a white can with a white and green label. Yoyo is front and center on the can, really drawing your eye to the can. Each can comes with 20 portions, weighing .55g each, totaling 11g. The nicotine content is 9mg/g which is 4.95mg/portion.


When you first open the can, you'll be greeted by the pleasant aroma of lime. Behind the lime is a light semi-sweet mint. The flavor is a very straightforward lime. It's not too tart, but has the fine balance of sweet and tart. There is a hint of mint in the background mixing very well with the lime. The nicotine content feels to be regular strength and the flavor lasts between 30-45 minutes.

This nicotine pouch is very well done. There are a couple lime flavors on the market, but Yoyo Havana is my favorite so far. The nicotine strength is just where I like and the flavor is impeccable. Be sure to get this product, and many more, at SnusMe.com! Be sure to use the promo code "SNUSAY" for an additional 10% off your entire order!

One Blå - November 6, 2020

 When Swedish Match launched their One line in 2017, Göteborg's Rapé was one of the original flavors launched. Today we're going over the relaunched One Blå. The new One line is being marketed as having a name brand product with a value brand price! Swedish Match describes One Blå as having a "light and spicy tobacco character with clear elements of lavender and juniper, as well as a slightly wood and citrus aroma". 

One Blå comes in a gold can with a deep blue label. As with the other One products, Blå is Swedish for blue, so the can definitely matches the name. One is right in the middle of the can in gold lettering, accenting the blue of the label really well. Each can comes with 22 portions, weighing 1g each, totaling 22g. The nicotine content is 14mg/g which is an easy 14mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll notice the pleasant, classic aroma of Göteborg's Rapé. The bold aroma of juniper berries is up front, with a hint of citrus in the background. This is a much bolder version of GR. The flavor is more pronounced and up front. Juniper berries and citrus are the main elements of this snus, with a hint of tobacco in the background. I didn't notice the tobacco in the aroma, but I picked up on it slightly in the flavor. The nicotine content is at the strong level, but is not too strong for my tastes.

The new One line is phenomenal. I love the new portion material. With them being so thin, the portions release the flavor like they're an original portion, but they have the longevity of a white portion! If you like GR, give this a shot. Swedish Match did a great job with this snus!

General XRANGE Slim White - November 5, 2020

In 2015, Swedish Match launched their XRANGE line and is branded as a long lasting, slim white, minimal drip product. Their XRANGE line is cheaper than regular General, and they are everything they're branded as. These are a value brand with a name brand product. Swedish Match describes this as having a "mellow tobacco taste with distinct notes of bergamot and citrus, along with hints of tea".

General XRANGE comes in a gray can with a black label. XR is front and center of the can which is really eye catching. General XRANGE comes with 21 portions, weighing .8g each, totaling 16.8g. The nicotine content is 9mg/g which is 7.2mg/portion.

When you first open the can, the you'll find that classic General aroma. The citrusy bergamot is up front with a light tobacco in the background. The taste is identical to the aroma. A citrus from the bergamot with hints of tobacco mixing nicely in the background. The portions are plump for a slim portion and are very soft. The nicotine content feels to be at the regular strength.

This snus is one I always have in stock. It's such a classic taste, that whenever I think snus, I think General. Slim portions are, in my opinion, the best fitting portions and this snus is one of my favorites. If you're interested in a classic/timeless taste, you're definitely going to want to give this one a try!

One Gron - November 4, 2020

Back in 2017, Swedish Matched launched the One line with three flavors. In mid 2020, they relaunched their One line with two new flavors, One Gul, and One Gron. The 5 products in this line have been marketed as having a name brand product with a value brand price. Swedish Match describes One Gron as having a "Light and spicy tobacco character with hints of dark berries, forest, citrus, and slightly provencal herbs".

One Gron comes in a silver can with a green label. Gron is Swedish for green, so the color does match the name. One is right in the center of the can, really drawing your eye to it. The can says that this is inspired by Göteborgs Rapé, but I have yet to find any similarities between the two, besides the manufacturer. Each can comes with 22 portions, weighing 1g each, totaling 22g. The nicotine content is 14mg/g which is an easy 14mg/portion.

If you've never heard of provencal herbs, don't worry because I haven't either. After a quick Google search, I've found that provencal herbs are a mix of basil, fennel, marjoram, parsley, rosemary, tarragon and thyme. Now when you first open the can, you'll find a semi-sweet berry aroma. Behind that is a light pine mixing well with a hint of a peppery aroma (I'm assuming that is the provencal herbs). The taste is something I've never had before. It's a semi-sweet berry with undertones of dark tobacco. There is a hint of that peppery taste in the background. The portions are very plump and incredibly soft in the lip, which I do hope more manufactures go to these thin portion materials. The nicotine content is a strong, but it is not overly strong at all.

This snus may not be my favorite of the new One line, but it is definitely worth a try if you're able to try it. The berries with the herbal flavors is a combination I've never had and it was definitely  interesting to try out! It's very unique and is a nice change of pace from all the mint snus on the market now.

Skruf Double Mint Xtra Strong - October 27, 2020

Between nicotine pouches and snus products, there are a total of 45 mint products currently being sold at SnusMe.com. That's a lot of mint products to say the least, and today we are talking about Skruf Double Mint Xtra Strong. Skruf describes this as having a "Mint taste with hints of eucalyptus and tobacco".

Skruf Double Mint comes in a gray can with a teal label. It has a cracked ice kind of look to it which is really unique. Skruf is in the middle of the can with Double Mint Xtra on the bottom right of the label. I don't think I've ever seen a can with this color on the label before and I'm really digging this can. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .69g each, totaling 16.6g. The nicotine content is 17mg/g which is 11.73mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll find yourself greeted by the sharp aroma of menthol and eucalyptus. There is a slight tobacco presence in the background, but it's definitely hidden behind the mint. The flavor is mint. A slight burn from the menthol gives way to the cooling presence you will find with any other mint product. The portions are very soft, which is common of most Skruf products. The nicotine strength is definitely an extra strong product.

Overall, this isn't a product for me. Usually I enjoy a mint snus, but it's just too strong for me personally. The flavor is good, and not many companies have done a double mint so hopefully they'll release this in a normal strength. I would encourage anybody who likes mint products to try this out however. Just because this isn't a product for me, doesn't mean it won't be for you! Get yourself a can now from SnusMe.com!

Göteborgs Rapé XRANGE Strong - October 26, 2020

 When Swedish Match launched their XRANGE lineup, some of the original versions went away and were rebranded with the XRANGE line. Göteborgs Rapé Strong White was one of the products discontinued and rebranded. Swedish Match describes Göteborgs Rapé XRANGE Strong as having a "light and spicy tobacco character with clear elements of lavender and juniper, as well as some wood and citrus".

Göteborgs Rapé XRANGE Strong comes in a gold can with a reflective blue label. A red ring around the outer edge of the can denotes the strong version from the regular strength. As with the other XRANGE cans, XR is bold and centered on the can to draw your eye. Each can comes with 21 portions, weighing .8g each, totaling 16.8g. The nicotine content is 13.5mg/g which is 10.8mg/portion.

If you've ever had the normal strength GR XRANGE, this is the same snus with a stronger nicotine content. The aroma of juniper berries and lavender will greet you first with a hint of tobacco in the background. The flavor is the same as the aroma. Juniper berries and lavender with a hint of citrus in the background. The can may say strong, but it is only slightly stronger than a normal portion so you shouldn't get discouraged by the strength of this product.

This is a very good snus. A little stronger than the original, but not too strong. This is a very well done snus and I'm happy to order it as long as Swedish Match will produce it. You can get this snus, and many more today at SnusMe.com and be sure to use "SNUSAY" during checkout for an extra 10% off your order!

Skruf Nyans Norrsken - October 25, 2020


Skruf launched their Nyans line a while back now with three different flavors. As a value priced line, it became very popular, and about 6 months ago, they expanded the lineup with two more flavors. Today we're talking about Skruf Nyans Norrsken. Skruf describes this as having a "taste of traditional tobacco flavor with hints of violet and licorice".

Skruf Nyans Norrsken comes in a black can with a black/purple label. It's very hard to describe the look of this can as it is not a very traditional looking can, but I do love this unique design. Each can comes with 22 portions, weighing .8g each, totaling 17.6g. The nicotine content is 8mg/g, which is 6.4mg/portion.


When you first open the can, you'll find a pleasant licorice up front, with a light flowery aroma mixing in the background. The flavor is a lot like the aroma. A nice licorice, followed up by a flowery taste. It's a straight forward taste, with not a lot going on, but is a very well done snus.

Skruf made a really good snus and I do like the price point for their Nyans lineup. They're a value product with a high quality product. Violet and licorice snus isn't uncommon, but is usually produced for a while and than discontinued so I hope they keep this one around for a while. You can get this snus today from SnusMe.com, and be sure to use the promo code "SNUSAY" for an extra 10% off your order! I'm excited to see what they launch next!

Skruf Solbær - October 24, 2020


Skruf has always had some really good products, and Skruf Solbær is no different. A couple of years ago, Skruf released an all white nicotine product called Skruf Cassice. Now, Skruf has added tobacco to that recipe, and we have Skruf Solbær. Skruf describes Skruf Solbær as having a "clear sweet and sour taste of black currants with a classic tobacco taste in the background".

Skruf Solbær comes in a gray can with a gray label. Skruf is in the middle of the can, with the strength to the right of that. Solbær Stark is on the bottom right hand side of the can. This design is really sleek and eye catching. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .69g each, totaling 16.6g. The nicotine content is 12mg/g which is 8.28mg/portion.


If you've never had a blackcurrant, they're a very tart berry grown in cold climates. When you first open the can, you'll find a sweet berry aroma. It's not overly sweet or artificial, but a natural berry. The taste is much like the aroma on this one. A mild, semi-tart, semi-sweet berry. There is a hint of tobacco in the background, mixing well with the berry.

This is a really good snus. The flavor is much bolder and fuller than the nicotine pouch version. The nicotine feels to be regular strength despite it being a strong snus, so don't let the nicotine strength discourage you from trying this snus! You can get this snus, and many more at SnusMe.com, and be sure to use the promo code "SNUSAY" for an extra 10% off your entire order!

Göteborgs Rapé Hjortron - October 8, 2020

Göteborgs Rapé Hjortron is always a snus I like to keep in stock for when I get a craving for it. Originally launched as a limited edition back in 2014, this snus proved popular enough to be brought on as a full time edition to the GR lineup later that same year. Swedish Match describes Göteborgs Rapé Hjortron as having a "light tobacco character with elements of cloudberry and lime, as well as hints of lavender and cardamom".

Göteborgs Rapé Hjortron comes in the classic Göteborgs Rapé can, a gold can with a blue label. Göteborgs Rapé is center on the can, really drawing your eye to it. This is certainly a very classic design and if it isn't broke, don't fix it! Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .9g each, totaling 21.6g. The nicotine content is 8mg/g which is 7.2 mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll find a pleasant cloudberry aroma, and a light flowery aroma behind that. If you've never had a cloudberry, then you're definitely missing out. They are a very tart berry and are quite honestly, very delicious. Ikea makes a very good Hjortron jam if you're able to get it. The flavor is a tart cloudberry, but not overbearing at all. Behind that is a light flowery flavor, mixing with a light spicy character.

Overall, this snus is one I almost always have in stock. The flavor is one of a kind and I would love to see more manufactures do this flavor. I wasn't able to pick up on any lime flavors, but each person will have a slightly different experience and you might pick it up yourself!

Shiro Cuba Libre - October 7, 2020

AG Snus recently released three new products in their Shiro lineup. Shiro, Japanese for white, is their tobacco-free, nicotine pouch lineup. Today, we're talking about their Shiro Cuba Libre product. AG Snus describes this as "an all white pouch with a taste of the rum and coke based cocktail".

Shiro Cuba Libre comes in a white can with a white label. Shiro is printed in brown in the center of the can with a martini glass above the "i". The martini glass really captures the alcoholic flavor this product has. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .5g each, totaling 12g. The nicotine content is 12mg/g which is 6mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll find a sweet rum smell, with a hint of cola in the background. It's a sweet rum, but not an overbearing or overly sweet aroma. The flavor is very mild and straightforward.  It is without a doubt, rum and coke. It is not as strong of a flavor as I'd like to see, but is still a good flavor overall.

Overall, this is a good product. I wish the flavor was a little stronger, but there have been very few rum and coke flavors produced, it's nice to see a product that's not limited edition. You can find this product, as well as the other new products in the Shiro lineup at SnusMe.com and be sure to use the promo code "SNUSAY" at checkout for an extra 10% off your order!

One Gul - October 6, 2020

Swedish Match recently relaunched their One lineup. It was originally launched back in 2017 with three new products. One Gul is a new product with their relaunch and is inspired by General. Swedish Match describes One Gul as having a "light and spicy tobacco character with clear elements of yuzu, as well as herbs and orange blossoms".

One Gul comes in a silver can with a yellow label, which makes sense as Gul is Swedish for yellow. One is right in the middle of the can which is very eye catching. Each can comes with 22 portions, weighing 1g each, totaling 22g. The nicotine content is 14mg/g which is an easy 14mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll be greeted by a tart citrus, followed by a nice subtle pepper in the background. The taste is very similar to the aroma. A tart, but not overbearing citrus, with a hint of pepper and tobacco mixing nicely in the background. These portions are the softest portions I've ever had and even though they have a very thin portion material, I've never had any issues with them tearing or losing any tobacco out of them.

Overall, this snus is very good. It reminds me a lot of summer with the flavors and I'm very impressed. Swedish Match is arguably one of the best, if not the best, snus manufactures in the world today. They've really stepped up with their new portion format and I would love to see more products with this thin portion material!

Lyft Summer Beat - October 5, 2020

Lyft Summer Beat is a limited edition nicotine pouch released by Fiedler and Lundgrens released in the summer of 2020. Lyft has done some very good limited edition releases in the past, and this summer edition is no different. Fiedler and Lundgrens describes Lyft Summer Beat as having a "fresh taste of orange, citrus and floral tones".

Lyft Summer Beat comes in a white can with a orange/blue lid. This is very much a summer design in the colors. Lyft is right in the middle of the can and above that, you'll notice a "Tap the can" circle. If you enable NFC on your smartphone, you can literally tap the can with your phone and be directed to a website to enhance your summer. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .7g each, totaling 16.8g. The nicotine content is 8mg/g which is 5.6mg/portion.


When you first open the can, you'll be greeted by a pleasant orange smell, followed by a hint of floral elements. The taste is very similar to the aroma. Orange right up front, but not overbearing, with the floral elements mixing nicely in the background.

Fiedler and Lundgrens nailed the flavor in this one. This truly is a summer product that I would use again in a regular edition. Overall this is an outstanding product which I will miss. If you were able to get it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

Shiro Mojito - October 4, 2020

Nicotine pouches are the next big thing and AG Snus has gotten on board early with their Shiro product line. Nicotine pouches are similar to snus in the way they look and feel, but contain no tobacco. If you're interested in quitting tobacco, but still want to enjoy nicotine, then these products are definitely for you. Shiro, Japanese for white, is a newer line from AG snus and they've recently released three alcoholic drink flavors. We'll be talking about their Mojito product today.

Shiro Mojito comes in a white can with a white label. Shiro is printed in grey and green right in the middle of the can with a martini above the "i". I really like this design as it captures your eye and incorporates the alcoholic flavor in the design. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .5g each, totaling 12g. The nicotine content is 12mg/g which is 6mg/portion.


Before we get into the aroma and flavors, for those who don't know what a mojito is (I had to Google it myself), it is a mixed drink containing white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. Now, when you first open the can, you'll be greeted by a pleasant lime aroma with mint mixing in the background. The flavor is very similar to the aroma. A mild, almost sweet, lime with the cooling feeling you find with other mint products.

This is a decent nicotine pouch. The portions aren't as full as I'd like them to be, but it was still an enjoyable product. AG Snus did a really nice job capturing this flavor into a nicotine pouch and I'm excited to try out their other new products! Thanks again to our friends at SnusMe.com for sending this to me to review!

Lundgrens Fjällen - September 23, 2020



Fiedler and Lundgrens is back with another "new" product. Lundgrens Fjällen is now a permanent product in their lineup. If you were lucky enough to have the limited edition Lundgrens Kebnekaise, than this snus will be a familiar flavor for you. Fiedler and Lundgrens is notorious for releasing a limited edition snus, and in a year or so, adding it to their regular lineup. Fiedler and Lundgrens describes this snus by saying "Lundgren's next destination is inspired by the flora of the Swedish mountains. Lundgrens Fjällen has a taste of cloudberry".

Lundgrens Fjällen comes in a black can with a black label. Right in the center of the can is the Lundgrens logo in a white rectangle. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .8g each, totaling 19.2g. The nicotine content is 10mg/g which is an easy 8mg/portion.


When you first open the can, you'll see Lundgrens signature perforated white portions. This portion format allows for a quicker release of flavor, but the longevity of a white portion. The aroma is a pleasant woodsy aroma, and a hint of cloudberries in the background. The flavor is very similar to the aroma. The cloudberry mixing well with the woodsy, flavors. A tobacco flavor is also present, but very subtle in the background.

This is a very good snus. It reminds me a lot of winter, and definitely will be one I order again. Thanks to our friends at SnusMe.com for sending this to me to review!

Yoyo London - September 13, 2020


 Nicotine pouches have been around for a while now and it doesn't look like they're going anywhere. Yoyo is a new line featuring 3 products. Today we're going to be talking about their London product. The flavor description on the back of the can describes Yoyo London as having a "fresh taste of strawberries, mint, and tanginess of lime".
Yoyo London comes in a white can with a white and red label. On the front label and on the side of the can you'll find some of London's most iconic buildings. Each can comes with 20 portions, weighing .55g each, totaling 11g. The nicotine content is 12mg/g which is 6.6mg/portion.
When you first open the can, a sweet smell of strawberries will greet you, with a hint of mint. The taste is a sweet strawberry, with freshness of mint mixing nicely with the strawberries. I have yet to notice the lime, but each person will experience a different taste!



This is a very well rounded nicotine pouch. It reminds me a lot of summer time and is an outstanding product. I can see myself using this occasionally, but not as an everyday product.  You can get this product from snusme today!

General Original Portion - August 26, 2020

General Original Portion is one of the oldest products you can get on the market today. From a very classic taste, to the 154 year old tradition, this snus is one of the best available. I've always been more of a fan of white portion snus, but this is definitely one where I prefer the original to the white. Swedish Match describes General Original as a "Spicy tobacco character with elements of bergamot, as well as tea, hay and leather".

General Original Portion comes in a black can, with a golden brown label. This can design is the one available here in the US. Personally, I've always liked the Swedish design more, but unfortunately, is unavailable in the US. The snus is identical however, the only difference being the can design. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing 1g each, totaling 24g. The nicotine content is 8.5mg/g which is an easy 8.5mg/portion.


When you first open the can, you'll be greeted by the pleasant smell of bergamot. I imagine Swedish Match included the tea in the flavor description, because of the bergamot. There is a bold, peppery tobacco character right behind the bergamot. The flavor is identical to the aroma, and very similar to the white portion, only more pronounced and slightly bolder.

This flavor is one of the most classic flavors you're able to find in the snus world today, and a favorite of many snus users I know. You can use the General store locator to find where you're able to find this can locally, or if you're placing an order soon, add it from your favorite webstore!

General Onyx Guld - July 14, 2020

General Onyx has been produced by Swedish Match for quite a while now, and about a year ago, Swedish Match decided it was time to expand the line with another product within that line! The original Onyx has been rebranded as General Onyx Silver, and has for a long time been one of my personal favorites. The Onyx line has always, to me, been more of a "Black Tie" snus. This product is no different. Swedish Match describes the snus as having "Maximum taste and low drip. A dark and smoky tobacco character with hints of tar, dried fruit and licorice".

General Onyx Guld comes in a black can with a black label. The General logo and ONYX are in gold right in the middle of the can, truly making this a "Black Tie" snus. Each can comes with 24 portions, weighing .9g each, totaling 21.6g. The nicotine content is 12mg/g which is 10.8mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll find the portions are black, yet this is a white portion snus. The portions are a white portion in a black portion material. You'll find the portions are in the classic star formation, so I recommend fluffing the portions so they fit better in the lip. Along with an outstanding visual presentation, you'll find an aroma of a smoky tobacco character, with notes of tar and wood in the background. The flavor is almost identical to the aroma, with the wood and tar coming in the background. I have not yet to find the licorice in this snus, but everybody's pallet is different!

This snus is definitely not an every day snus for me, but I do tend to find myself ordering a can or two on my orders. Grab one today from your favorite webstore!

Catch XRANGE Raspberry & Licorice - July 6, 2020

Catch XRANGE Raspberry & Licorice is quite possibly one of the most unique snus flavors I've ever tried. One of the newest products in the XRANGE lineup, this snus was also one of Swedish Match's Small Batch products way back in July 2017. Swedish Match describes this as having a "Light tobacco character with clear elements of raspberries, and some licorice and anise".


Catch XRANGE Raspberry & Licorice comes in a white can with a really nice purple fade to black label. Much like you'll find in other XRANGE products, XR is front and center, really drawing the eye to it. Each can comes with 21 portions, weighing .8g each, totaling 16.8g. The nicotine content is 8.5mg/g which is 6.8mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you'll be greeted by a distinct raspberry with notes of licorice following behind. The taste is very similar to the aroma. The raspberry mixes well with the licorice, creating an exceptional flavor experience. I have not been able to find any anise, however everybody has a different palate and could experience a slightly different taste. The nicotine strength is normal for a slim portion and is enjoyable.

This snus definitely gave me something to enjoy in every portion. Being in the USA, I'm unable to get the small batch products so this was a first for me. However I do feel that Swedish Match hit the nail on the head with this one! If you enjoy any form of licorice, I suggest giving this snus a try, and for the price point, you can't go wrong!

Snubie x Ministry of Snus: Bourbon Vanilla - June 3, 2020

Snubie x Ministry of Snus: Bourbon Vanilla is one of many products made by another reviewer and like most other products by him, was designed by the fans! Ministry of Snus describes the snus as "A gentle tobacco taste with genuine Kentucky bourbon and a smooth touch of vanilla".


Snubie x Ministry of Snus: Bourbon Vanilla comes in a white can with a craft look. This snus has a full can catch lid. Another feature from Ministry of Snus are swirls inside the catch lid. It's nothing I've ever seen before from any other snus company! Snubie x Ministry of Snus: Bourbon Vanilla has 20 portions weighing .8g each, totaling 16g. The nicotine content is 12mg/g which is 9.6mg/portion.



When you first open the can, a present smell of bourbon will be the first smell you encounter. Behind the bourbon, a hint of vanilla will great you next. The flavor is the same as the aroma. Bourbon up front, with vanilla softly behind. The genuine Kentucky bourbon used in this snus is Makers 46. The portions are very soft and feel very well in the lip. This snus is definitely on the stronger side, but you shouldn't let that get you discouraged.


Unfortunately, if you already haven't had the chance to try this snus, you won't be able to try it. This product was a limited edition snus and is no longer available. This is a great snus and I know we can expect more from Snubie!

Göteborg's Rapé XRANGE Slim White - May 21, 2020

Göteborg's Rapé XRANGE Slim White is part of Swedish Match's XRANGE lineup. The XRANGE line feature slim portions, with minimal drip for a longer flavor. They have a cheaper price and have a premium feel. Swedish Match describes Göteborg's Rapé XRANGE as "A mellow tobacco taste with distinct notes of lavender and juniper, along with hints of oak and citrus".


Göteborg's Rapé XRANGE comes in a gold can with a reflective blue label. As with the other products in the XRANGE lineup, XR is front and center in bold lettering. Each can contains 21 portions weighing .8g each totaling 16.8g. The nicotine content is 9mg/g which is 7.2mg/portion.


When you first open the can, the classic smell of juniper berries will be your first encounter. Behind that is the lavender. I have yet to notice any oak in the aroma. The taste is very similar to the aroma. Juniper berries up front with lavender and citrus dancing together in the background. The portions are very soft to the touch and fit wonderfully in the lip. The nicotine content may not be as strong as most snus, but it is still satisfying.

If you've had Göteborg's Rapé before, this product is identical with the main difference being a slim portion. This is an exceptional product, and for the price point, it makes it even more appealing to the consumer. As a classic flavor, you should definitely try it out!

Jakobsson’s Mellon White Slim - May 11, 2020


Jakobsson’s Mellon White Slim is not necessarily a “new” product, rather a rebranding of the old Jakobsson’s Mellon White Slim Stark. This is a perfect snus for the summer. Gotlandssnus describes Jakobsson’s Mellon as a “Smaller portion with less drip. Has a characteristic taste of melon with hints of pear and sweetness. A long, narrow, dry surface with a low moisture content and a lasting taste release”.

Jakobsson’s Mellon comes in a white can with a nice reflective red label. Something new with this design is a full can catch lid. Another feature of Gotlandssnus is a neat compass in the catch lid and I am glad they kept that with the redesign. Jakobsson’s Mellon has 20 portions weighing .65g each totaling 13g. The nicotine content is 14mg/g which is 9.1g/portion.

Before you even open the can, you will notice a distinct watermelon smell. It reminds me a lot of bubble gum. The taste is just like the aroma, a pleasant watermelon. The portions are soft and fit very well in the lip. Being a white portion, I find I can keep these in for about an hour before the taste begins to run out. The nicotine content is a normal strength and feels just like a normal slim portion.



This is a perfect summer snus. The flavor and aroma remind me of summers on my back porch. This is definitely a flavor to check out if you enjoy a fruity snus!

General G.4 Blue Mint - May 8, 2020

All white snus is becoming the next big thing. Swedish Match knows this and has labeled it as the fourth generation of snus. The first generation being loose, the original snus. The second generation is portion snus, coming over 100 years after loose snus. The third generation is a slimmer, stronger portion snus found in their G3 line. Today we have all white snus, the fourth generation. Swedish Match describes G.4 Blue Mint as “A mellow and spicy character with distinct notes of peppermint along with hints of spearmint and vanilla”.

G.4 Blue Mint comes in a white, semi translucent can with a white label. Every Swedish Match product I have ever had has a full can catch lid and this product is no different. G.4 Blue Mint has 24 portions and each portion is .8 grams each totaling 19.2 grams. The nicotine content is 12mg/g which is 9.6mg/portion.

When you first open the can, a classic peppermint is what you will find. I have not been able to find spearmint or vanilla in either the taste or the aroma. The taste is a long lasting, refreshing mint. The portions are incredibly soft and fit well in the lip. With this being a white portion, I can use this snus for about an hour before the flavor begins to run out. The nicotine content may be slightly higher than a regular portion due to the smaller portions, but it is not too strong. It feels like a normal slim portion.

This snus is my favorite mint snus on the market right now and use it daily. It is not too sweet, rather a more natural mint. If you are in the US, you can buy this snus online from many different web stores!
