Oden's 69 (White Dry Portion) - Review. 1 September 2010.

Review Updated:  27 June 2022

I was recently sorting videos into playlists at SnubieTV.com (our new home on Utreon) and realized of all the re-reviews and ratings I've done over the past few years, I haven't done a lot of Oden's Snus ones.  This week I'm going to work on that!  I'm starting with many regular strength GN Tobacco products (yes, they do make those), and today we're checking out Oden's 69 White Dry!  The product description for this one says, "A traditional, spicy Swedish tobacco flavor and hints of bergamot and some saltiness".  Each can weighs 16 grams and contains 20 portions, for 0.8 grams each.  The nicotine content is 9mg/g (0.9%), or 7.2mg/portion.

When you open the can, a lightly sweet, floral aroma greets you.  There's light, airy touches of citrus, and a mild, gentle base tobacco..  Being a white dry product, the pouches are dryer than your average white portion.  They're pretty soft to the touch, as well.  In the lip, as they get more moist, they do get more comfortable, so they don't stay dry.  The flavor is quite interesting.  It's traditional, but more laid back.  It's mild and balanced.  There's a subtle character of citrus, along with some light sweetness.  I pick up a little pepper, along with a mild base tobacco..  The nicotine strength on this one feels just a hair below regular strength, but not too weak.  Being a white dry, it does come with a long lasting flavor, lasting up to 1-1.5 hours!

Rating and Final Thoughts

GN Tobacco makes a lot of high nicotine products, but they also make some normal products, like this one.  I wanted to review a lot of these to help show some of the other side of GN Tobacco, with their more normal, humane products.  I rated this one at 3.5/5.  It's an interesting one.  It's traditional, but a little more subdued than your standard bergamot snus.  This is probably one of GN's best offerings in the traditional flavor category!
