This product is no longer produced, however the flavor lives on as Skruf Tranbar White (Ecological).
Skruf Tranbar (Cranberry) Original Portion was one of the first snuses I ever reviewed. I put it up head to head against Offroad Cranberry in a little
Cranberry Snus Deathmatch I did in 2009. In the end, Offroad came out on top. For some reason the V2 taste of Cranberry just seemed a little more up my alley. That being said - one thing I've always noticed about white portions is they balance flavor really well and can sometimes make an OP you don't like taste better. Phantom Blue for example - not a big fan of the OP, but love the White Portion. Opening up the can, the aroma reminds me a lot of
Ocean Spray Cran-Grape. A present aroma of cranberry with a sweet little twist. The portions are much like I observed with Skruf Mellan - white portions, but moist, very comfortable in the lip and soft to the touch.
The taste takes a bit to develop, probably a good 15 minutes, but is pretty pleasant all around. I still prefer Offroad Cranberry - again, dunno why, but I just like the taste a little better. I will say this - Skruf Tranbar has a LOT of fans, I can think of many off the top of my head I know personally, so I imagine they'll like this one quite a bit. It's not a bad snus, I just don't like it as much as the Offroad Cranberry. The taste is pretty simple and very enjoyable. A mild cranberry taste with a little salt balance in the background. That's about it. It's pretty simple. The taste lasts quite a while, I had one in this afternoon for 2 hours while I was working and it never turned bitter on me, which is a good thing - as most snuses with flavor can do after the 1.5 hour mark.
