Kapten Lakrits (White Portion) - Review. 11 October 2015.

Review Updated:  5 May 2023

It's been a bit since I've had this one.  The last time I had it was back in 2018, so about 5 years since I last got to check it out.  However, this one recently went through a redesign, and I've never done a rating of this one, so today we're revisiting AG Snus (or PMI)'s Kapten Lakrits White Portion!  I enjoy Kapten Salmiak a lot, so I was pretty excited to revisit this one again.  The flavor description for this one says it has "a well-balanced tobacco character and flavor with clear hints of divine licorice".  Each can weighs 16.8 grams, and I counted 24 portions, weighing 0.7g each.  The nicotine content is 10mg/pouch, which would be 14.28mg/g if you did backwards math to get the total.  But, the nicotine per pouch is really what matters.

It's been a while since I've had this one so I couldn't recall the taste.  But, comparing my notes from last time it seems like it hasn't really changed.  Opening the can, I notice an aroma of pepper first, then licorice.  It's a more mild black licorice, with a subtle sweetness to it.  I really dig the pouches.  AG Snus can make a 0.7g pouch feel like more, because they're always so plump, and full.  They have a nice feel under the lip, and against the gum.  In the flavor, I notice a peppery taste of licorice.  The pepper is pretty present.  Then I notice some licorice as well.  The licorice taste is mild, and enjoyable.  There is a mild tobacco taste in the background, as well.  The nicotine strength feels to be about regular, and has a comfortable delivery to it.  The flavor hangs out about an hour, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

I gave this one a 3.58/5.  This is a pretty solid, tasty snus!  I like Kapten's Salmiak flavor a lot, but I found this one to also be pretty good, and enjoyable.  If you like licorice, this would be a good one to try out.  The peppery taste in this one definitely sets it apart from other licorice flavors I've had in the past!
