Lenny Stark White - Review. 24 August 2016.

Review Updated:  21 January 2023

It's been quite a while since I've had this one, it looks like many years!  I've had quite a few requests to do a new review of this one, so today we're checking out GN Tobacco's Lenny Stark White Portion!  Lenny, for those who don't know, is someone who works at the GNT factory in Sweden, hence the name.  The snus itself is a budget snus, coming in at a cheaper price tag than a lot of other snus products out there.  The flavor description I found on the OdensSnus website says, "Traditional and well balanced tobacco blend with traditional and well rounded Swedish flavor".  The can weighs in at 20 grams and has 20 portions, for 1 gram each.  The nicotine strength is said to be 15mg/g (1.5%), so with 1 gram portions that's easily 15mg/portion.

  

Opening up the can, this one reminds me a lot of Oden's No3 White Portion.   The aroma is a spicy tobacco smell with subtle hints of citrus, a light floral presence, and a very faint leather in the background.  The portions are nice and soft to the touch, moderately moist, but do need a little fluffing before you put them in the lip (to help loosen up the tobacco).  In the flavor profile, for a budget snus it honestly isn't that bad.  The tobacco and citrus flavor comes through clearly, with a nice spicy tone to it.  There is a subtle floral presence to this one, then just a little leathery tone in the mix.  All in all, it's not that bad!  In the strength, this one does feel a little stronger than regular strength, but isn't too overbearing, by any means.  The flavor has some pretty good life to it, lasting up to about an hour, on average!

Rating and Final Thoughts

All in all, this one wasn't too bad.  I put it at 3.17/5, which is just a little above average.  For a snus with a cheaper price tag, I found it to have a pretty decent taste, a nice kick, and a pretty long lasting flavor.  It reminds me a lot of the Oden's No3 series, which is one I've always spoke highly of.  If you like that one, you'll probably dig this one.  It's pretty traditional in flavor, but just a little different than the usual run of the mill citrus snus.
