Fiedler and Lundgren has released a new snus in their Lundgren's family, this one with a pretty interesting flavor! Today, we're checking out their new Lundgren's Örtagård. Örtagård translates, to the best of my ability, to "
herb garden". F and L has a habit of bringing back past releases, and I was going through my reviews and this one reminded me of a limited edition from a few years ago:
Lundgren's Öland from the summer of 2019. But, more on that later. The flavor description for this one says, "
White portion with notes of wild herbs, flowers and wood". Each can weighs 17.6 grams and has 22 portions for 0.8 grams each. The nicotine content is 10mg/g (1.0%), or 8mg/portion.
When you open the can, a sweet floral smell greets you. It reminds me most of violet. Which, is what the Lundgren's Öland smelled/tasted like. I get a light amount of herbs, but not much for a snus called "herb garden". There's also a little tobacco in the background. The portions are the perforated white portion, and semi-dry in nature. They can irritate the gum if I use them too much, so I have to limit how much Lundgren's I use. In the flavor profile, it's mostly violet. A lightly sweet, floral taste of violet. There's a very faint herbal taste, but not too much. Behind it, a mild, gentle, earthy base tobacco taste. The nicotine strength feels about regular, and the flavor lasts about an hour.
Rating and Final Thoughts
This one was pretty good, honestly. I rated it at 3.33/5. While not something I'd use full time, it's something I could see myself using from time to time. It's pretty neat, and I like the flavor of violet. While not an all day every day snus, it's a good occasional one, or one to use to mix things up from time to time. If you like floral flavored products, give this one a go!
This was an atypical choice for me but thanks to your review it is becoming s favorite! I never knew how much I liked Violet. I think Ortagard and Vastkusten will be my new rotation. Thanks Snubie!
