Kaliber Vit Salmiak - Review. 31 October 2014.

Review Updated:  12 March 2025

It's been a bit since I've had this one.  I last had it back in 2018, prior to that I had it when it launched in 2014.  I recently realized that I haven't done a rating on this one yet, so I figured it was time to revisit it!  In 2025, there's not a lot of new snus out nowadays.  Nicotine pouches have virtually killed the snus market.  So, in light of that, I think I'll be doing a lot of new reviews in 2025.  So, Kaliber Vit Salmiak.  Let's see how it's described:  "Dark tobacco character with clear hints of licorice root and salmiak, as well as a hint of dried figs".  Each can weighs 16 grams and has 20 portions, weighing 0.8 grams each.  The nicotine content is 8mg/g, which breaks down to 6.4mg per portion.

I haven't had this one in a while, so I honestly couldn't remember what it tastes like.  That makes it more fun to revisit because it gives me fresh eyes.  This one has a nice aroma of black licorice.  It's rich, present, and accompanied by an earthy tobacco aroma.  The portions are light in weight, semi-dry, and pretty soft to the touch.  They have a nice feel under the lip, with a gradual release of flavor.  The flavor is pretty present though, for a white portion.  I pick up a taste of black licorice, along with a slight touch of fennel.  There's a mild salt character, along with a simple, earthy tobacco base.  In the nicotine strength, it feels about regular, maybe a little below that.  I find the flavor lasts about an hour.

Rating and Final Thoughts

This is a pretty tasty snus!  I rated it at 3.42/5.  I would say it's not quite as good as LD Salmiak White, but it's still pretty good.  At the price, you really can't go wrong with this one.  LD Salmiak White I had at around a 4/5, so this one isn't too far from that rating.  If you like licorice and want something a little cheaper, you may enjoy this one!
