Each can weighs 20 grams and has 20 portions. This means plump, full ONE GRAM portions! That is exciting to me, because you don’t see that anymore! The nicotine content is 10mg/g, and with 1 gram portions that’s easy to calculate at 10mg per portion. That means these are going to be around the regular strength level.

When I open up the can, I notice that unmistakable “ume” aroma. This one has a plum wine scent to it, along with a light touch of menthol. It’s kinda sweet, kinda sour, kinda tart. In essence, it’s a dark berry, but with some tart and some menthol to it. The portions themselves are really nice. They’re plump, with moist tobacco, and a soft pouch material. They feel quite good under the lip, and yield a little cooling sensation against the gum, perhaps due to the menthol in this one.

The flavor is much like the aroma: a nice Ume inspired flavor with hints of menthol. The dark berry presence is tart, semi-sour, with a faint touch of sweetness. There is a little menthol in the mix which adds a gentle cooling sensation to the flavor profile. It’s certainly a unique one, that’s for sure! In the nicotine department, it feels to be right at the regular level, with a steady and stable delivery. The flavor also lasts quite a while, up to about an hour, on average!

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

All in all, a pretty good snus! Now, this isn’t something I’d use all the time, but it’s a fun one to mix up the rotation a bit. If you like the flavor of plum wine, you’ll enjoy this one. The berry/menthol taste is a unique one in the snus market, so I think folks like myself who like those unique, off-beat, interesting flavor profiles are going to find themselves enjoying this one!

The flavor for this one says it is a “classic Swedish tobacco snus flavored with juniper and lightly sweetened in a white portion”. The can, in total weighs 16 grams and has 20 portions. This means each portion will weigh 0.8 grams. The nicotine strength sits at 12mg/g, which breaks down to 9.6mg/portion. This puts it just above the regular strength level, but not quite to the strong level.

The aroma of this one is a pretty interesting, straightforward juniper aroma. It’s quite simple in presence, and sits on top of a mellow tobacco base. The portions are nice and plump, semi-moist, and moderately soft in feeling. Under the lip, they fill out the lip really well, and have a slow release of flavor. The taste is pretty mellow. It’s juniper, pure and simple. I don’t pick up a lot else, just a juniper taste with a mild tobacco base.

It’s not overly complicated, and comes across in a mellow way. It reminds me a lot of Kapten’s old juniper snus, which I really enjoyed. It’s a trooper, one you can use all day long and not burn out on. In the nicotine strength, it feels about the regular level, and has a steady delivery to it. The flavor has some legs, and lasts well up to an hour!

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

There aren’t a lot of juniper snus products out there. If you want to stretch your legs and try out other juniper flavors, your options are quite limited. So, it was pretty neat that the new Moose line tried to fill that hole and put out something different.

If you like GR, you will find this one to be more simple. If you like Knox Blue, you’ll find this one to be less floral. If you like simple, direct juniper flavors, I think you’ll be pleased, as it’s really good!

With the can open, you can see the portions are pretty good looking. They are technically a white portion, however some moisture has turned the pouches slightly brown. That doesn’t mean it’s not a white portion, however, which we’ll touch on later. Each can weighs 16 grams and contains 20 portions, weighing 0.8 grams each. The nicotine content is 12mg/g, which breaks down to 9.6mg per portion due to that 0.8 gram pouch weight.

Now, let’s get into this review and talk about this snus!

The aroma coming off the can is pretty traditional in nature. The bergamot comes through pretty clearly, along with slight notes of wood, tobacco, and a touch of pepper. Honestly, in the aroma and flavor, this one reminds me a lot of Oden’s No3, which is a snus I really like.

The portions are nice and plump, with a soft mouthfeel. Though slightly brown, they aren’t super moist, so the flavor has a slower development like you want from a white portion. In the flavor department, it’s traditional, but more complex. The bergamot comes through pretty clearly, along with slight hints of smoke and wood.

The tobacco base is earthy, slightly peppery, and serves as a nice undertone to the flavor profile. In the nicotine strength, it feels to be about the regular level, or maybe just a little above. It has a comfortable, steady delivery to it. The flavor also has a solid amount of longevity to it, lasting up to about an hour, on average!

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

All in all, this is a pretty good snus! It’s a new snus, and no new snus is bad snus, but as this one sits on it’s own it’s pretty solid. It has the traditional snus flavor nailed down quite well, and presents a really good, all day type of flavor profile.

If you enjoy traditional products such as General, Knox, etc, I think you’ll like this one, and the nice twist it has on the flavor profile. So, grab some of the Moose, I think you’ll be quite impressed!

Opening the can, I count 20 portions in there. The can weighs 16 grams, which means each portion is going to weigh in at 0.8 grams each. The nicotine content sits at 12mg/g in total, so with that 0.8 gram option weight it’s 9.6mg per portion. Another note, this one is said to be a white portion, but you’ll notice the portions have a slight brown color to them. This doesn’t mean they’re moist, or original portions, but just that some of the moisture from the tobacco turned the pouch a brown color. That happens from time to time, but it still delivers an experience much like with a white portion.

The aroma that comes off of this one is a pretty nice cherry tone. I do pick up a slight hint of violet, sitting on top of a nice earthy tobacco base. The portions are nice and plump, and feel great in the lip. They’re much like white portions, so they have a gradual release of flavor to them when you put one in. In the flavor profile, it’s quite good. It’s mostly cherry, but with just light hints of violet poking through.

The tobacco base is also there, not overpowering the cherry, but giving it a good backbone. The nicotine strength is also pretty mellow, feeling to be around the regular level. The flavor longevity is pretty solid, lasting a good hour! That’s what I mentioned earlier, that while it may look like an original portion, the flavor experience is much like a white portion in how long it lasts.

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

This was a pretty tasty snus! It reminds me somewhat of Nick & Johnny Americana, but without the wintergreen or spicy nature to it. It’s more well rounded, and more light in flavor. It’s a pretty interesting snus.

I’ve honestly gone through quite a few cans of it, so I can tell you from personal experience that this is a pretty good snus and one I’d recommend you trying out on your next order!

I count 20 portions in the can. The can has a total weight of 14 grams, so that means each portion is going to weigh 0.7 grams each. The nicotine content is a whopping 30mg/g in total. While it may sound high, the 0.6 gram portions actually brings it down a bit to just 21mg/pouch. That may be less than 30, but it’s still quite strong compared to others on the market!

Opening the can, it has a sharp, powerful aroma to it. It’s not as pungent as Siberia, but it’s still stout. There is a sharp, sweet aroma of peppermint that comes through. The portions are pretty soft, and have a nice feel under the lip. They give a sting when you put one in, but also a subtle cooling presence throughout the lip and mouth, as well. In the flavor profile, it’s a pretty icy, sweet taste of peppermint. It’s sharp, and powerful.

I also pick a light tobacco base with this one. I find the flavor to be more enjoyable than Siberia, and to have a higher quality to it. The nicotine kick on this one is pretty strong. At 21mg/portion, to me it feels to be firmly at the extra strong level. So, it’s no lightweight in strength! The flavor lasts quite a while on this one as well, usually up to about an hour.

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

So, this stuff is way too strong for me. I don’t use a lot of stuff that is this strong, honestly. But, I know really strong mint snus is popular, and a lot of people do like stuff like this. If you like stuff that has a strong kick to it, you may love this one. While it’s too strong for me, I can definitely see folks who like products like Oden’s and Siberia really enjoying this one, due to it’s higher quality!

The flavor description for this one says, “a taste of wintergreen”. Opening the can, I counted 20 portions. The can weight in total is 13 grams. That means each pouch is going to weigh 0.65 grams each. The nicotine strength may say “extreme”, and sit at 22mg/g in total, but that pouch weight brings it down quite a bit. 22mg/g actually becomes 14.3mg/portion. So, it may say it’s an “extreme”, in total, but it’s actually just at the strong level in terms of how much nicotine you get per portion.

Opening the can, the aroma that comes through is a pretty direct aroma of wintergreen. It’s milder in nature, but still has good presence. It’s lightly sweet in nature, but not overly sweet. The portions come in the slim white dry format, so they’re going to be a little dryer than you average white portion. They feel comfortable under the upper lip, and have a gradual release of flavor. In the flavor profile, it’s a pretty straightforward, direct flavor of wintergreen.

It’s mild, gently sweet, and has a subtle presence of tobacco in the background. The nicotine strength is also pretty decent. It may sound like a lot up front, but it actually delivers right around the strong mark. So, it feels stronger than your regular strength, but it’s not too much. The flavor lasts quite a while with this one, too. The white dry format yields a slower release and longer lifespan, so you can enjoy these for well over an hour, sometimes up to the 1.5 hour mark!

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

All in all this was a pretty good product! There aren’t a lot of wintergreen flavors out there, so if you’re into this sort of thing your options are pretty limited. But, this is a pretty good one. If you want one with a milder experience, I think you’re going to be quite satisfied here, especially if you’re looking for one with more kick to it!

The product description for this one says, easily enough, “a taste of vanilla”. Opening up the can, you’re probably thinking, “wait, I thought this was a white dry product?”. I’ll explain. The vanilla flavor is an interesting one. Whenever you add vanilla flavoring to a product, it can tend to turn the portions brown over time. This isn’t a change in the moisture.

While it may look brown like an original portion, it’s actually still a white dry product. It’s just brown because of the vanilla flavoring. Each can weighs 16 grams, and contains 20 portions. This means the portions weigh in at 0.8 grams each. The nicotine content sits at 22mg/g. With 0.8 gram portions, this means you’ll get 17.6mg of nicotine per portion, putting this one at the extra strong level.

In the aroma of this one, I find it to be a slightly perfumey aroma of vanilla. It’s mild in nature, and lightly sweet. The portions, as mentioned above, come in the white dry format. This means they’re slightly dryer to the touch, and under the lip. They may be stiff at first, but as the pouch gets more moist under the lip, you’ll find it softens up, gets more comfortable, and releases more flavor. The flavor of this one, similar to the aroma is vanilla. It’s a mild, semi-sweet taste of vanilla.

I do notice it to have an almost perfumey aspect to it, as I picked up in the aroma. The nicotine strength on this one is rather strong, feeling at, or above, the extra strong level. It depends on if I’ve eaten recently, but on an empty stomach this one has quite a kick to it! The flavor longevity is also quite impressive, lasting well over an hour due to the white dry format. This is a benefit of white dry snus, you always get a long lasting taste.

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

If you like vanilla, your options in the world of snus are very, very limited. This is the only one. You can get in other formats and strengths, so it depends on what you’re really looking for as to which one of these you’ll use. It’s hit and miss, some love it, some don’t. It’s really one you have to try for yourself to see what you think.

For me, it’s not bad. It’s not a favorite, but it’s not awful. It’s right there in the middle for me. I don’t really use a lot of vanilla products though, so I suggest checking it out to see what you think of it!

Much like other Oden’s products, you’ll find this one has a hinged catch lid. So, when you open it to deposit used portions, you’ll notice it stays right there with you! This one has, of course, “a taste of cola”. Each can weighs in at 20 grams, and I counted 20 portions in each can. As such, this means you get full 1 gram portions! The nicotine content, being an “extreme”, is 22mg/g. This puts it just a little above the extra strong scale. With 1 gram portions, it’s easy to calculate at 22mg per portion!

So, pour up a glass, and let’s see what this snus is all about. In the aroma, I pick up a clear aroma of cola, along with a slight hint of cinnamon. The tobacco base comes through clearly, and is dark, rich, and robust. The portions are nice and plump, with a solid moisture amount. They feel great under the lip, and have a quick release of flavor, and nicotine. This stuff tastes really good. Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve had it, so I figured it would be a fun one to revisit. It has a good cola flavor, but I like that it isn’t mega sweet. It also has a dab of cinnamon flavor to it.

The tobacco base isn’t washed out with the cola flavor, and it comes through in a rich way, with a slight spice to it. It’s a very well rounded flavor! In the nicotine department, you’ll notice this one to have quite a kick to it. It feels around the extra strong level, and delivers pretty quickly. The flavor is also quite a trooper, lasting up to about 40-50 minutes, on average.

Snubie’s Final Thoughts

If you like Jakobsson’s Cola, but want to try something different, or want something a little stronger, you should check this one out. I think you’ll dig it. It’s a little different, but still has that classic cola taste to it. To me, the cola flavor is just a little more fleshed out, and slightly more complex. I’d definitely recommend checking it out if you’ve never had it, it’s top notch!
