Today, we're checking out a snus in the Kronan brand. If you've read my stuff long, you know I'm not the biggest fan of this line. I've had some requests to revisit this one, and I've never done a rating of it, so here we go. This should be fun. If you aren't familiar with 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 product line was redesigned in March 2017, so I figured it was a good time to revisit Kronan!
The flavor description for Kronan Stark Original says, "Strong portion snus with a dark and heavy tobacco taste with notes of violets and citrus, along with hints of green herbs.” This product comes in a 21.6 gram can with 22 portions, for 0.98 gram portions (it used to have 24 portions). The nicotine content is 15mg/g (1.5%) which breaks down to 14.7mg/portion.
Rating and Final Thoughts
Well, I tried it for a third time, and I still don't like it. Trust me, I've been trying. I just can't get into this one. It rated at 2.67/5, which is quite a low rating for a snus product for me. I know there's lots of people out there that like this, I just am not one of them. If you're looking for a snus to save a little money, I'd suggest trying others out first, such as LD. But, you may end up liking it, so don't take my word for it. Try it yourself, and see where you fall on this one. It's not for everyone, but some enjoy it!
