Oden's 29 / Apple (Original Portion) - Review. 25 November 2015.

Review Updated:  27 June 2022

I was recently sorting videos into playlists at SnubieTV.com (our new home on Utreon) and realized of all the re-reviews and ratings I've done over the past few years, I haven't done a lot of Oden's Snus ones.  This week I'm going to work on that!  I'm starting with many regular strength GN Tobacco products (yes, they do make those), and today we're checking out Oden's 29 / Apple (Original Portion)!  The product description for this one says, "Well rounded and flavorful tobacco blend with an interesting and smoky apple flavor".  Each can weighs 20 grams and contains 20 portions, for 1 grams each.  The nicotine content is 9mg/g (0.9%), or 9mg/portion.

When you open the can, a nice, subtle green apple aroma greets you.  I pick up an earthy base tobacco, and then a light smokiness along with it.  The portions are nice and plump, with a good amount of moisture to them.  They're soft in the lip, and have a pretty quick and steady release of flavor.  The taste on this one is very interesting.  The apple flavor is front and center.  It's smooth, and semi-sweet.  It's slightly tart, but not too tart.  The tobacco base comes through pretty clearly, which has an earthy nature to it.  I also detect just a little smokiness with this one, but it's not overdone by any means.  In the nicotine level, it feels about regular strength.  I find the flavor to last about 45-50 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

GN Tobacco makes a lot of high nicotine products, but they also make some normal products, like this one.  I wanted to review a lot of these to help show some of the other side of GN Tobacco, with their more normal, humane products.  This one is an interesting one.  The smoky apple flavor is pretty tasty.  I wish they made this one in a loose.  In the end, it rated at 3.58/5.  It's tasty, and something I reach for from time to time.  If you like good tobacco flavors, or enjoy an apple now and then, give this one a go!
