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!

General White Portion - May 4, 2020

General White portion is one of my favorite "traditional" flavors. This product is one of five General products sold in the US. Swedish Match describes General White as a "vibrant blend featuring a complex, spicy tobacco taste that's perfect for elevating any occasion". General white comes in a silver can, with a white label. There is a full can catch lid which is perfect for storing your used portions until you're able to find a trash can. General White features a total weight of 24 grams, with 24 full 1 gram portions. The nicotine content is 8mg/g which translates to 8mg/portion.

When you first open the can, you will notice the portions are in the classic Swedish Match star formation. Swedish Match wedges the portions to fit them into the star formation, so I suggest you roll the portion around a bit to loosen up the tobacco to fit more comfortably in your lip. Along with the visual presentation, you will begin to have that classic General aroma fill your nose and the air round you. It is a pleasant smell, with a citrusy bergamot being front and center. Behind that, you will notice a rich tobacco smell, along with hints of pepper. The taste is just about the same as the aroma. The citrus from the bergamot will be one of the first flavors you find, with tobacco following right behind. The pepper balances the citrus rather well and is not overbearing in the slightest. The overall flavor of this snus is most definitely a traditional flavor, and the nicotine content is a regular strength so it is not too strong.

This is one of my top 5 favorites and helped me switch from American dip to Swedish snus. If you're in the US, you can use the General store locator on their website (www.generalsnus.com) to find where you can buy this snus, and grab some coupons while you're there!
