Knox White Portion Review. 26 October 2009.

Knox White Portion Review. 26 October 2009.

on October 26, 2009

Review Updated 22 August 2017: It's been a while since I reviewed Knox White Portion so I felt I needed to update the photos and intro to this review. The review below is the same, however. Now, when I first reviewed Knox White back in 2009, it was called a "budget" snus. Even the flavor description from SnusCENTRAL says, "Knox White Portion Snus, from the makers of Skruf snus, is a value priced white portion snus with a classic yet medium robust tobacco flavor." However, it appears that it is now a regular priced snus. At SnusCENTRAL.com it’s $0.69 more expensive than General, at BuySnus it’s $0.03 more expensive than General. At Northerner.com I found it was $0.10 cheaper than General. It's $1.48 cheaper than General at SnusBolaget, so maybe it's cheaper in Sweden than General, but everywhere else it's around the same price or more. I found out this summer at the 2017 St. Louis Snus Con from Skruf Snus that Knox is the number 2 brand in Sweden now, so that may be why it costs more. I always thought it tasted better than most value priced snus products, so that may be why it costs more.

Upon opening the can, I was greeted by a lightly sweet aroma of citrus. It was almost like a sweet citrus wine, The portion material is moderately soft, and quite comfortable in the lip. The portion has a medium moisture level, so it's not too dry, not too moist, but just about right. Knox White Portion has a mild, but simple tobacco flavor. The citrus notes are very balanced with this, and have a very slight sweet taste with a very light salt balance in the background. The flavor held true to the aroma I smelled when I first opened the can. A mild, slightly sweet citrus flavor. I'd say this snus is a more mild General White Portion. The nicotine content is said to be "medium", but it feels to be about regular strength if I had to guess. I'd put it around 8mg/g if I had to put a number on it. The flavor lasts quite a long time; I've been able to enjoy this snus for up to an hour!

It's pretty tasty, I definitely suggest trying it out!

Cool Lip (Filter Tabbaq) - Review. 15 March 2019.

I recently did an order from MrSnuff.com for some stuff I've been wanting to review, and I saw this and grabbed a few pouches of it. I've never had it before, But it's made by Tej Ram Dharam Paul Pvt. Ltd in India. The description at MrSnuff.com makes this stuff sound pretty fancy: " Prepared from selected, hand-picked tobacco leaves and combined with rich spices (such as cinnamon, cardamom & cloves), the natural aroma of sandalwood oil and numerous floral essences, Cool Lip Filter Tabbaq is a highly distinguished tobacco product. " The packaging says it's a 4.2 gram pouch with 10 "filter tabbaq pillows", which would mean 0.42 grams each. I couldn't find the nicotine content listed anywhere, however. The aroma of this stuff is really interesting; it's a tobacco smell, with a little menthol, some spice, and a kinda woodsy presence. The pouches are the mini size, so I use two of these at a time. They're a little on the dry...

Grizzly "Snus" - Review. 7 August 2020.

Today's the day, and Grizzly Snus has arrived for review. A special thanks to our friend Louis in Wisconsin who hooked us up with these for review. From what I've been seeing, as of right now (August 2020), these are being sold in select markets. I've heard of people seeing the in Missouri, as well as Wisconsin. If you're not familiar with Grizzly, it's a brand produced by American Snuff Co. American Snuff Co is owned by Reynolds American, makers of Camel "SNUS and Velo Nicotine Pouches , which is why the cans look similar. Grizzly is a popular moist snuff/dip brand, so going into this I was curious how these would compare to Grizzly. I'm not a dipper, but I have had Grizzly Long Cut in the past. Looking at the can, you can tell its the same size as a Camel or Velo can. It's smaller than a regular snus can, and comes in an oblong shape. I will say this, I do like the shape of their cans. They fit great in the...
