Over the past few weeks, I’ve been checking out this new snus series called The Moose. If you haven’t heard of it, The Moose is a snus produced in Sweden by Hansa Snus. In 2024, it’s almost unheard of to see not only new snus manufacturers, new snus products, but also new snus brands. The Moose has all of that! And not only that, but it’s a high quality product. So, for a new manufacturer to start pumping out top-shelf stuff, it’s pretty impressive. I’ve had a lot of other flavors in the Moose series, and I’m pretty partial to their Major Wintergreen flavor. This is their strongest one: Arctic Super Strong.
This is one that’s designed for those who love high octane products like Siberia and the like. But, I think this one is a much better quality than Siberia, personally. It’s described as having “an intense taste of mint”. But there’s more that is intense about this one than the taste. Read on, let’s get into it!
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!
