First, let me start by saying that I usually do not use mini portions. They're just not my cup of tea. But I can see the appeal to people, and if this helps someone transition from smoking to a safer alternative, than I'm all for it. I've been using snus for 9 years and this snus has been around for as long as I can remember. Eucalyptus just isn't a super popular flavor in the snus world. Catch makes this snus in both, mini and regular size portions. I think Offroad still makes an eucalyptus snus however, so there's not much in the way of variety of eucalyptus products on the market. Swedish Match describes this as having a "mellow tobacco taste and distinct notes of eucalyptus and mint".
Catch Eucalyptus White Dry Mini (that's a mouthful) comes in a white can with a baby blue label. The Catch logo is off-center with the portion format on top, and size underneath. Being a mini portion means mini can as well! This is a much smaller can than most other cans and fits easily in your pocket. So easily, you can forget it's even there sometimes! Each can comes with 20 portions, weighing .34g each, totaling 6.8g. The nicotine content is 15mg/g which is 5.1mg/portion. These portions are dry mini portions so that's why they're slightly lighter than most others.
When you first open the can, you'll find a cooling menthol, followed by a slight citrusy pine. It's a refreshing aroma. Not too strong, or overbearing, yet not faint either. The taste is very similar to the aroma. You get that cooling presence from the menthol and that refreshing eucalyptus flavor up front. A hint of tobacco in the background ties it all together really nicely. The nicotine content is on the lower end, being a mini portion. So if you're used to regular size portions, this is one you might want to double up on portions.
Overall, this isn't a bad snus. It's not one I can use all the time, mostly because I'm just not a fan of mini portions, but they do make it in a full size regular portion. I tend to keep the full size in stock just in case I'm sick. There's something refreshing about it that makes me feel a little better whenever I have a cold or the allergies are getting bad. Try it out today and let me know what you think of it!
