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.

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.

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.
