Today, I finally am getting around to review Nordic Snus AB's Vårgårda Skog! I've had
the Vårgårda line before, which launched earlier this year. Nordic Snus has been on a roll lately, launching all kinds of new snus products this year. It's been nice to see, a company that is making snus products in this tobacco-free world we seem to live in now. Now this one, I've been super stoked to try out, mainly because I had no idea what to expect. Swedish Match made
a Skog snus in their Small Batch series several years ago, which was a weird mushroom flavored snus. The Lundgren's line had
one in 2020, which was like a minty spruce taste. The
flavor description on this one says "
A taste of tobacco, juniper and a hint of lavender". Juniper is interesting. Nordic Snus actually had a juniper snus back in 2014 called
LD Enbar, which I liked. Each can weighs 20 grams and has 20 portions. That means 1 gram portions! You don't see that much. The nicotine content sits at 10mg/g so that's easy to calculate: 10mg/portion. Now, without further ado, let's get into this thing!
I've been wanting to try this one out for a while, so I'm stoked to dive into it today and try it out. Opening up the can, I notice juniper first. There's a little spruce right behind it, along with a touch of lavender. The portions are nice and plump, soft, and have a great mouthfeel. I love that they're 1 gram, and they fill out the lip really well. The flavor is an interesting one. Upfront, I notice a pine/spruce character. Right behind it, juniper, along with a light floral presence. There's a mild tobacco base to it, but not an overpowering one. It's an interesting flavor mix. The nicotine strength feels about regular, and I find the flavor to last about an hour. It's a pretty interesting snus, to say the last.
Rating and Final Thoughts
I rated this one at 3.83/5. Going into it, I wasn't sure what to expect. After having it the past several days, I can say this: I like it. It's an interesting one. It reminds me of
GR in a way, but with some woodsy tones to it. It's kind of like GR in the words. Or, in a way, GR with a slight touch of
Lundgren's Norrland to it. I can say this, though, I will be ordering more. It combines a lot of my favorite flavors into one, and is something I hope sticks around.
