Skruf (Original Portion) #2 - Review. 12 December 2015.

on December 12, 2015

Review Updated: 10 February 2019

The Skruf brand recently went through a redesign, so I've been revisiting all of their products to kick off 2019. This product is actually my favorite of the entire Skruf line. For a while, this product wasn't available to the US. When Skruf released Skruf Ecological: Original Portion, that product was available to the US and this one wasn't. But the Skruf Ecological line was discontinued and we can finally get this product again. Which is good, in my opinion, because this is the best product Skruf makes. The flavor description for this snus says it has "a pure, gentle tobacco flavor containing natural aromas from bergamot and rose oil. Made with a larger proportion of tobacco leaves than traditional snus." It comes in a 22g can with 24 portions for 0.92g portions. The nicotine strength is a 2/4, and listed as "medium/regular" on most stores, which puts it between 8mg/g-10mg/g.

When you open the can, the aroma that greets you is an earthy tobacco presence and a presence of bergamot. There's a light floral sweetness that compliments the aroma, due to the unique inclusion of rose oil. The portions are moderately moist, so the flavor releases quickly but also lasts a good amount of time. The portions are soft to the touch and feel great in the lip. The flavor is where it's at with this snus though; in most traditional flavored products, the tobacco is more in the background, behind the citrus. With Skruf OP, however, you can taste the tobacco easily! The citrus flavor is present, but relatively gentle. The tobacco flavor comes through quite clearly and is mild and earthy. There is a floral sweetness that works really well with that citrus that is, again, due to the inclusion of rose oil. The nicotine strength feels to be about the regular level and the flavor, on average, lasts about 45-50 minutes.

As far as the entire Skruf line goes, this one is my favorite. It has a great flavor, a regular nicotine strength, and now an even better looking can. This one is a must try!

This product available at SnusMe.com!

It looks like norwegian version. Swedish version doesn't have original on the can and norwegian does. Swedish only have skruf portion written on the can.

Cool Lip (Filter Tabbaq) - Review. 15 March 2019.

I recently did an order from MrSnuff.com for some stuff I've been wanting to review, and I saw this and grabbed a few pouches of it. I've never had it before, But it's made by Tej Ram Dharam Paul Pvt. Ltd in India. The description at MrSnuff.com makes this stuff sound pretty fancy: " Prepared from selected, hand-picked tobacco leaves and combined with rich spices (such as cinnamon, cardamom & cloves), the natural aroma of sandalwood oil and numerous floral essences, Cool Lip Filter Tabbaq is a highly distinguished tobacco product. " The packaging says it's a 4.2 gram pouch with 10 "filter tabbaq pillows", which would mean 0.42 grams each. I couldn't find the nicotine content listed anywhere, however. The aroma of this stuff is really interesting; it's a tobacco smell, with a little menthol, some spice, and a kinda woodsy presence. The pouches are the mini size, so I use two of these at a time. They're a little on the dry...

Grizzly "Snus" - Review. 7 August 2020.

Today's the day, and Grizzly Snus has arrived for review. A special thanks to our friend Louis in Wisconsin who hooked us up with these for review. From what I've been seeing, as of right now (August 2020), these are being sold in select markets. I've heard of people seeing the in Missouri, as well as Wisconsin. If you're not familiar with Grizzly, it's a brand produced by American Snuff Co. American Snuff Co is owned by Reynolds American, makers of Camel "SNUS and Velo Nicotine Pouches , which is why the cans look similar. Grizzly is a popular moist snuff/dip brand, so going into this I was curious how these would compare to Grizzly. I'm not a dipper, but I have had Grizzly Long Cut in the past. Looking at the can, you can tell its the same size as a Camel or Velo can. It's smaller than a regular snus can, and comes in an oblong shape. I will say this, I do like the shape of their cans. They fit great in the...
