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!
