One of our donors asked me to do a "Wintergreen Week" and review/revisit a bunch of wintergreen products. Yes, as someone who isn't the biggest fan of wintergreen products, that was a bit of a challenge. Today, I'm going to be reviewing an extra strong wintergreen product by GN Tobacco: Oden's Extreme Wintergreen White Dry Portion. The flavor description from SnusMe.com says, "A super strong white portion with a taste of wintergreen". Each can weighs 16g and has 20 white dry portions at 0.8 grams each. The nicotine content is 22mg/g (2.2%), which breaks down to 17.6mg/portion!
When you open the can, a pretty present wintergreen aroma greets you, but it's not super in your face or way overly sweet. There's also a mild tobacco hint in the background, as well. The portions are semi-dry, but pretty soft. They have dry contents, as well. The flavor is a milder wintergreen flavor. It's not super sweet, but has a lighter amount of sweetness to it. It has a mild tobacco character in the background. In terms of nicotine, it feels to be between strong and extra strong; not too weak, but not overly strong. It's not as strong as the usual Oden's Extreme product line. The flavor also lasts quite a while, due to the white dry format, which leads it to lasting quite a while, up to an hour, sometimes more!
Rating and Final Thoughts
All in all, not bad. I gave it a 3.17 out of 5. I like that I can taste tobacco in it and the wintergreen flavor isn't super in your face. For those who like wintergreen, that may be a bad thing. But for me, it's a good thing. I find it to be pretty balanced, and it has an awesome can design. If you're a wintergreen fan, give it a try. It's not too bad.
This product available for purchase at SnusMe.com!
do you know if the flavor is natural?
ReplyDeleteWell.. The taste is natural but with a touch of winter green. The taste is not like the smell.
ReplyDeleteThe smell reminds me of jenka chewing gum. If you dont like the shell of other products like Cold Dry this is something for you.
