This snus rocks! The first thing that struck me was the super soft and smooth txture of the portion material. The taste starts out as sort of unremarkable. Then it grows and there is a salty citrusy note to it but the salt and citrus are mellow, not like onyx. Shorty after, the citrus beins to dissapate and you can taste the tobacco and an unidentified sweetness. I am assuming this is th hint of licorice they are talking about? I don't even like licorice candy, but this sweetness, whatever it is is good!. I also really like that you can taste the tobaccco but there is none of that artificial "liquid smoke" bitterness. I would give this snus a 4.5 out of 5. The down sides? The portion tends to burn the gums a little and the burn never really disapates even after an hour. Also, after about 20 minutes the portion sort wrinkles a bit. Since the flavor is mellow, I guess I could get bored of it if it was the only snus I used but so far so good on that. Nicotine content is dead on, not too weak, not to strong. Oh, and the drip is minmal, just enough drip to make it taste great but not enough to burn the throat or upset the stomach. Everyone should give this one at least a try. The cans are really cool too.
