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!
