Lots of folks on our forum -
GoSmokeless.org - have been talking about this lately, and with snus prices on the rise and weights going down, people have been considering cheaper options. V2 Tobacco has always been good on prices, and I've seen Phantom Brown Portion as low as 21.72 a roll and 2.55 a can, so it's a bargain. So now we talk Phantom Brown. The product description lists it as
"Phantom Brown is a snus with traditional snus aromas and a robust flavor of pure tobacco and smoke aroma. Smooth round taste." The can design has recently been upgraded from a simple black can to a wooden design. Upon opening the can the aroma bursts out, it's a smokey tobacco aroma. The tobacco aroma is a robust and well rounded smell, and the smokiness definitely adds to it.
The portions are moist but not as juicy as most V2 original portions I've seen in the past. The taste is very subtle and simple. Just a pure tobacco taste with a nice salt balance and a slight smokiness to it. The tobacco taste is robust and well rounded, but not as bold as you would experience with Grov Original Portion. It's not too bad at all for the price. I've found I can leave this in for quite a long time, which is something I really like in a snus, I was able to leave these in for around an hour or so, which is good for an original portion as they start to run pretty quick. All in all - it's a basic snus, good flavor, good price, and if you're looking to switch to something to save a little money you can't go wrong with it. I reviewed the
loose verison a while back as well, so check that one out if you're interested in the lossnus.
