Nowadays, you don't see a lot of new snus products. The last new snus brand I can recall is my Artisan Snus line, that launched back in 2022. Now, a new brand called
The Moose has launched, made by
Hansa Snus on Gotland in Sweden! This is The Moose Major Wintergreen. Wintergreen, for me, is a love/hate flavor. It's one I haven't liked much in the past, but since moving out to a farm and spending more time outdoors I've found myself using it more. So, we'll see how this one is! The
flavor description for this one says, "
A classic taste of wintergreen". Each can weighs in at 16 grams and has 20 portions, for 0.8 gram portions. The nicotine content is 14mg/g, which breaks down to 11.2mg per portion. So, let's get into the review and check this one out!
Opening the can, I pick up a pretty present aroma of wintergreen. It's on the sweeter side, and has that American wintergreen presence but almost like a wintergreen Tic-Tac. The portions are quite nice, they're really soft and feel comfortable under the upper lip. They have a nice moisture amount and a pretty quick release of flavor to them. In the flavor, it's a pretty enjoyable wintergreen taste. It's lightly sweet, and present. It's not in your face, but has some nice presence to it. I also nice a little earthy tobacco base in the background, as well. In the nicotine department, it feels maybe just a hair above regular and has a nice release to it. The flavor hangs out a good hour, on average! If I had to place this one, I'd say it's kinda like a mix of
General Wintergreen and
Jakobsson's Wintergreen White.
Rating and Final Thoughts
I gave this one a 3.58/5. That's higher than I rated General Wintergreen, as well as higher than I rated Jakobsson's Wintergreen White. A lot of it came down to the portion, I really like the way these feel in the lip. Adding in a nice flavor, a comfortable portion, a nice nicotine release, and a long-lasting flavor, Major Wintergreen is a good one. If you like wintergreen, I think you'll enjoy this one. It's pretty solid, and has a nice quality to it!
