Christmas came early this year to the
Snubie.com office when some of the new Julesnus from the folks at Gotland's showed up today! And I must say, this can is up for an award in the runnings for coolest snus can of the year. They seemed to ditch the old "meh" look of their previous Gotland's cans, you can check them out in
last year's review, and they embraced the sleek, classy look of the Jakobsson's can. This one looks a lot like the new Wintergreen can - white with a label on it, but with some really awesome Christmas graphics on it. I really dig what they did to the look this year.
Okay, so about this snus. Last year when I
reviewed Gotland's Julesnus 2009, I really enjoyed it. It was a unique, holiday-type flavor that brings to mind immediate memories of Christmas. The aroma is like walking downstairs on a Christmas morning and embracing the holidays for what they truly are - time with your loved ones and creating lasting memories of the Christmas season. Kind of cheesy, but hey - it's my blog. And I love the holidays. When you open up the can - that wonderful aroma hits you. Cinnamon, cloves, perhaps a little ginger - it smells very Christmas-y. This year's description is noted as, "
Flavors such as mulled wine, cinnamon and gingerbread cookies gives the Julesnus a taste of Christmas." (from
BuySnus.com) The portions are moist and comfortable with very little drip. The moisture stays intact a bit longer than average, but the flavor hits immediately. And wow, what a flavor it has! A sweet cinnamon flavor, a little hint of clove, some zesty ginger kick - it blends together really well it hearkens on memories of the holidays. Since it's October, it's really putting me in the Christmas spirit. It reminds me a bit of Apple Cider, which I noted in last year's review, as well. The salt balance is very mild and merely an afterthought to the wonderful flavor that this year's Julesnus contains. It should be noted that this year's can contains only 20 portions. The folks at Gotland's said that's all the can could contain, so I'm sure it's a quality issue to keep it fresh or something along those lines. I really dig this years release, it's just as great as last years - a tradition the Gotland's folks have kept going since 2003's Julesnus. It's very limited, so pick some up, and maybe a few extra cans to hang on to - because it's great to use throughout the year, not just at Christmas. Happy Holidays!
