Skruf Slim White Portion - Review. 29 September 2014.

Review Updated: 21 February 2021

The entire Skruf line has gone through a redesign within the past few years, and you know what that means.  Yes, I do new reviews when products go through redesigns.  That, and I haven't done a rating for this one yet with my new rating system!  Today we're talking about the slim white portion version of Skruf, Skruf Original #2: Slim White!  The flavor description for this one says it "has a classic taste of tobacco, bergamot and rose-oil".  The product description says the can weighs 16.8 grams, contains 24 portions, and the portions weigh 0.7g each.  The nicotine content is listed as a 2/4, which puts it at the regular 8mg/g level.

When you open the can, the aroma that greets you is a mild tobacco smell with a touch of sweetness, and a little floral sweetness.  Skruf includes rose oil in their recipe, which is a twist on the traditional Swedish Snus flavor profile! The portions are slim, soft, and comfortable in the lip. The material is a little dryer than the average white portion, but it's not uncomfortable by any means. The flavor, much like the aroma, starts with a mild, gentle tobacco taste. The citrus flavor is light, but present. The floral taste from the rose oil adds a nice sweetness that works well with the tobacco and citrus! I find the flavor to last up to an hour, and the nicotine feels right at the regular strength level!  

Rating and Final Thoughts

I rated this one at 3.25 out of 5.  It's a pretty solid product.  I'm more of a General guy myself, but I don't mind the occasional can of Skruf here and there.  If you like the taste of Skruf and want it in a slim portion, this one is a no-brainer.  Skruf is very much a traditional snus, but the inclusion of rose oil in the recipe makes it different in nature.  If you like traditional snus and want to try something a little different, the Skruf line is a good one to dive into!
