Jakobsson's Mint Strong - Review. 26 May 2015.

Review Updated:  8 September 2021.

 It's been quite a while since I've had this one, but the Jakobsson's brand went through a another redesign recently, so I figured it was time for a new review.  I wrote this article in 2015 originally, but it was an offshoot of a review I did in 2011, when this product originally launched.  That being said, wow, it's been a over a decade since this launched.  Jakobsson's Mint is an Americanized mint snus, meaning, it's a mint snus but designed with a flavor for the American consumer.  It's a sweeter product, but one that appeals to those who like mint and want something with a sweeter character.  The flavor description for this product says, "Rich flavour of peppermint with herb notes and sweetness.” It comes in a 20 gram can with 20 portions for 1 gram each. The nicotine content is 14mg/g (1.4%) which breaks down to 14mg/portion!

If you like sweet tasting mint products, this one will be right up your alley. When you open the can, the aroma that greets you is a sweet, present smell of peppermint with a hint of menthol. The portions are very soft, and quickly release flavor when you put one in the lip. As is common of most mint products, there’s also a nice cooling sensation in the lip, as well. The taste, as I mentioned before, is sweeter than most mint products. It’s a nice taste of peppermint mixed with tones of menthol. The thing that separates this from other mint products, in my opinion, is the herbal character in the background; it’s very unique! The nicotine strength feels to be firmly at the strong level. The flavor lasts about 45 minutes, which is about how far I can push most original portions.

Rating and Final Thoughts

If you like mint products and want something a little sweeter, this is worth a try.  It's a very interesting and unique flavor!  I rated it at 3.29/5.  I don't use a lot of mint products, but this one isn't bad.  I think people who enjoy mint and are looking for something different will dig it.  It is on the sweeter side, so if you like sweeter flavored products, this may be right up your alley!
