Jakobsson's StrongCola (Cola) - Review. 8 February 2017.

Review Updated:  7 August 2021

Cola is a very underrepresented flavor in the snus world. In 2011 we had Thunder Cola Portion (Discontinued).  In 2011 we also had Thunder Cola Chrome Long+ (Discontinued).  Also in 2011 we saw the release of Offroad Cola White (Discontinued).  In 2012 we had Thunder Cola Los (Discontinued).  In 2016 we saw the Limited Edition release of Offroad Cool A.  As you can see, cola isn't a popular flavor in the snus world, and it doesn't stick around long before it's discontinued. Prior to this release, Oden's Cola Extreme is the only cola flavored snus still produced.  I reviewed that one back in 2013.  In 2017, Gotlandssnus released this one as a limited edition, and it proved to be popular enough that it was added to their full time lineup!  The product description says, "a clear taste of cola".  This product comes in a 20 gram can with 20 portions, meaning 1 gram portions.  The nicotine content is 1.4%, or 14mg/g.  With 1 gram portions that comes out to 14mg/portion.

When you open then can, the aroma that comes through is a mildly sweet cola smell.  The smell isn't overly sweet, nor is it overly artificial.  The portions are quite moist, soft, and comfortable under the lip.  I noticed the flavor description mentioned citrus, but I didn't detect it in the flavor, nor did I detect it in the aroma.  If you've ever had Thunder Cola in the past, the flavor reminds me of that, but it's a little less sweet.  The flavor is a present and straightforward cola taste.  It has a touch of sweetness to it, but it isn't overdone and it complements the cola flavor quite well!  I mentioned earlier than the nicotine strength is 14mg/g, however it doesn't feel too strong.  I do notice it to be stronger than a regular strength snus, but it's not too strong.  The flavor lasts about 45 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

This one rated at 3.54 out of 5.  For me, it's one of my favorite products out there in the "alternative" flavor category.  There aren't a lot of cola flavored snus products on the market now, so there isn't much to compare it to.  I like the white slim version of this one more, but this one is still a good one.  And it tastes better than the Oden's version, in my opinion.  If you like cola, don't sleep on this one.  It's a super tasty snus!

  1. I concur with your review. The portions are indeed super soft and the strength is more regular than strong. The flavor strikes me as being straight up cola. I like this better than the Offroad Cool-a.
