Knox Blue Slim White - Review. 1 June 2017.

Review Updated: 21 February 2021

It's been a while since I've reviewed this one, and I haven't reviewed it since I rolled out my new rating system, so I figured it was time to sit down again with Knox Blue Slim White Portion!  If you're unfamiliar, Knox is a popular budget brand in Sweden.  Knox Blue is their juniper flavored variant, or their "off-brand" version of Göteborgs Rapé.  It is a cheaper option for price conscious snusers; comparing it to a similar product, Göteborgs Rapé XRANGE, This one costs 21,99 SEK per can ($2.66 USD), compared to GR XRANGE at 26,89 SEK ($3.25 USD).  Now, when it comes to the flavor description for this snus, it says "Slim white portions with clear tobacco flavor and elements of lavender and citrus".  It comes in a 16.8 gram can with 24 portions weighing 0.7 grams each.  The nicotine content is 8mg/g (0.8%), which breaks down to 5.6mg/portion.

Now, let's go ahead and get to know Knox Blue Slim White a little better!  When you open the can, the aroma of juniper is very present, and is accompanied by floral notes, and a light touch of citrus. The portions are soft to the touch and feel quite comfortable in the lip.  The tobacco is a little compact in the pouch so I do suggest fluffing them.  When it comes to the flavor, juniper is the heavy hitter; it is the most present taste you'll pick up.  There are light floral notes that come through in a mildly sweet way, a little herbal taste, and a light touch of citrus.  The flavor lasts quite a while, also.  I've found I can keep these in for up to about an hour!  The nicotine feels to be regular strength in level and delivery.

Rating and Final Thoughts

I rated this one at 3.63 out of 5.  Honestly, for the price, it's not a bad product.  I like GR better, but this one is still pretty good in its own right.  GR casts a pretty big shadow, which it's hard for Knox Blue to move out of.  But, when looking at it objectively and on its own, it's a solid product.  If you like juniper snus and want to save a few bucks, check this one out - you may dig it!
