Grov Original Portion Review. 9 October 2011.

Add this to the list of "Why haven't I reviewed this yet?" snuses. Grov Original Portion is a great snus. Much like a General White, it's a snus that would easily be an every day snus. It's got a great classic flavor and lasting appeal. I reviewed Grov White a while back, and just recently I've started working Grov OP into my daily usage. It's interesting how tastes change, because lately I've been using snuses without much citrus flavor. Right now I have Grov Black, Tre Ankare, Gotland's Green, and Grov OP on my desk. As I was sitting here looking at the can of Grov OP I figured it was about time I wrote a review on it. One of the most common questions I get in email is "What snus tastes most like Copenhagen?" Since snus has began to grow - more and more dippers are crossing over and making the switch to a much safer alternative - and many of them looking for a simple tobacco flavored snus. As I tell people all the time, due to dip being fire cured and snus being steam cured - you won't find a "dip like" taste in snus. But when you're looking for a classic, simple tobacco flavor - there's always a few that I suggest, Grov OP being one of them - along with Oden's Extreme, Prima Fint and Ettan Loose. I find these to be the snuses with the most simple and classic tobacco taste.

Grov OP is a very straight-forward snus. Grov has been around since 1915 as a loose, with the original portion coming in 1983. The description for Grov OP says, "Grovssnus Original, robust and well rounded with the pure flavor of tobacco. A pouch with moderate volume and mouth-feel. Surface moistened for fast flavor release and full bodied character." The aroma of Grov is a very simple earthy tobacco aroma. The portions are very moist and comfortable in the lip. As I said before, Grov could easily become a daily snus because the taste is so simple but yet so, so good. I've been using it more and more lately and picked up a roll when BuySnus had their free shipping deal so we'll see what it's lasting appeal is.
