Kronan (Original Portion) Review. 28 August 2011.

Kronan (Original Portion) Review. 28 August 2011.

on August 28, 2011

Review Updated: 23 November 2020

I've had Kronan Original quite a few times. I've done text reviews of it in 2011, 2017, and now 2020. But, recently, I've begun adding a rating to my reviews, so I figured I'd revisit the Kronan brand. It's one I'm not a fan of, so I was curious how my rating would end up on this one. Now, speaking about Kronan, the name means “the crown” in Swedish. It was created in 2005 as a reaction to the taxes being raised on snus. In fact, one of the Swedish Match tobacco masters was once quoted as saying “We can't really do anything about the taxes but we can cut costs as much as possible while still providing a good product."

The flavor description for Kronan Original says, “Dark tobacco character with elements of violet and citrus, as well as some green herbs.” As of late 2020, it still weighs in at 21.6 grams but has dropped to 22 portions. However, that means the portions are now 0.98g each, so that's a plus. The nicotine content is still 8.5mg/g (0.85%) or 8.33mg/portion.

When you open the can, a clear smell of citrus greets you, along with a hint of dill, light floral notes, and tones of dark tobacco. The portions are plump, moist, and feel great in the lip. In the flavor profile, I notice a mild lemon taste, along with a pretty present floral/violet character. There's a dark and rich tobacco taste in the background, and then yes, a hint of dill. The nicotine feels about regular strength on this one, and the flavor lasts about 45 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

So, Kronan Original didn't rate too highly for me: 2.83 out of 5. I've had this snus quite a few times now, and it's one that I just can't get into. Trust me, I've tried. Kronan seems to be a love/hate snus though, some people really like it, and then some really don't. I fall on the side of those who don't like it.

It's one you need to try for yourself though, because you may love it. It does have a complex flavor profile that some really enjoy. If you like really herbal/floral types of snus, you may enjoy this one.

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 pocket. The pouches are
