Oden's Cold (Extra Stark) Portion - Review. 3 November 2014.

Review Updated:  5 May 2023.

It's been a long, long time since I had this one.  Almost a decade, wow!  I've been going back through and updating my old reviews to add ratings, and today we're checking out Oden's Cold Extra Stark Original Portion!   This one doesn't get talked about as much, and is the slightly less strong version of it's "Extreme" older brother.  The flavor description for this one says, "It has a robust and spicy tobacco character, and it delivers a cool mint flavor".  Each can weighs in at 20 grams and has 20 portions, weighing 1 gram each.  The nicotine strength is 18mg/g, which easily breaks down to 18mg/portion.

It's been a long, long time since I've had this one!  So, it was fun to dive in and really get into it after not having it for such a long time.  When you open the can, a smooth, lightly sweet aroma of spearmint comes through.  I pick up a mild tobacco base, as well.  The pouches are nice and plump, and quite moist!  They feel great in the lip.  Also, being a mint product, they have a nice cooling presence under the lip.  In the flavor profile, the spearmint is present, and lightly sweet.  It's not super sweet, though.  It's smooth, and gentle in nature.  I pick up a light tobacco in the background, but it's not overpowering.  The nicotine on this one is strong, but not too too strong.  I find it hovers between strong and extra strong.  The flavor lasts a solid 45-50 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

I rated this one at 3.17/5.  It's a pretty solid snus if you like mint.  There aren't a lot of spearmint products on the market, nor are there a lot of original portion mint products out there, so this is one that really stands out.  If you like mint products, this is definitely one you'll want to check out!
