--Snus Reviews--

From the perspective of a former Copenhagen Snuff user. -after 30yrs dipping.

Please feel free to add your comments and share your recommendations.

A short description & history of Swedish snus:

Snus: This is not chew or dip folks. Snus is unique in that it is steam-cured rather than fire-cured, is not fermented and contains no added sugar and thus considered by many to be a safer alternative to dipping or chewing tobaccos which contain higher TSNAs and are much more proven to cause cancers amongst other health problems. Snus in it’s current form whether portion or loose has been well and alive in Sweden for over 200 years and recent studies have proven the usage amongst Swedes of snus as opposed to cigarettes have led to a much lower average of all forms of cancers as opposed to “smoking” nations. Since real snus as described in this blog is regulated as a food substance in Sweden along with being steam-cured tobacco, it is intended and normal to swallow the drip and requires no spitting.

Thunder Berry Extra Strong Portion



Having less time with this one, I still feel compelled to share this impression of a rather interesting snus. Just like it’s name states, the berries are certainly pronounced and prevalent. Starting out a bit sweet but not overpowering or artificial, I pick up strawberry, a slightly sour raspberry, and banana flavor. Now while some reviewers point out a “bitterness” after 20 or 30 min.s, I would rather call it a flavor transition. If you just let things go, at the 1 hour mark you will get back to a much more subdued but pleasant berry blend which still seems to please enough to make this a 2+ hr snus.

At (16mg/portion) nicotine, this one delivers!
