When The Moose brand first launched earlier this year, I was quite excited. Why? Because you don’t see a lot of new snus products launched, but it’s even more rare when you see new snus brands launched! This is a brand made by Hansa Snus in Sweden. The brand actually has a lot of flavors in it, including traditional, wintergreen, mint, and more.
This is one that has a cherry flavor to it. The description actually says “A delicious taste of cherries and hints of violet”. Cherry isn’t a common flavor in the world of snus, so I remember my excitement when I heard the flavor profile on this one. If you’re curious about this intriguing flavor profile, read on, and let’s check it out!
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!
