I've been reviewing nicotine pouches all day today, so I have to tell you, it is so very nice to get to a real snus review. I've been trying to find this one for a while. This is the new, limited edition GR Masthugget. I looked it up on Google, and this is what I found about the name: "
Masthugget is a fashionable, residential area along the river [in Göteborg], where the city’s iconic Långgatorna or “long streets” are lined with hip indie boutiques, Swedish design stores and cafes". I tracked this snus down on
SwedishProducts.online recently. Not many stores ship to the US anymore, and the ones that do rarely stock limited editions! The flavor description for this one says "
A flavor of melon and pear with a hint of mint". The can weighs 21.6g and has 24 pouches, sitting at 0.9g each. The nicotine content is 8mg/g in total, or 7.2mg/pouch. Now, let's dive into this can and see how it tastes!
Opening the can, I pick up a nice, fresh aroma of melon. It's a mild one, and seems closer to a cantaloupe. There's a slight minty tone, and a mild tobacco base. The portions come in the Star Formation, so I suggest fluffing them before putting one in. They're soft against the gum, as well. The flavor is quite good. It reminds me a lot of the old Kapten Melon. The melon flavor is like a cantaloupe, and isn't mega sweet. I pick up a light tobacco base. It's minty, but not overly minty. All in, it's a well rounded, refreshing flavor. In the nicotine strength, this one feels about the regular level. The flavor lasts up to about an hour, on average!
Rating and Final Thoughts
This was a really enjoyable snus. I rated it at 3.92/5. Honestly, if it wasn't a limited edition, I'd definitely buy more of it. I like the balance of the melon and the mint. It's also nice to review snus. I encounter so few of them these days. If you want to try it out, I'd get some sooner rather than later. It is a limited edition, so who knows if it will stick around!
