I recently did a
preview article about Mac Baren getting into the snus and chew bag game, and today I'm going to be reviewing two of the six new products they launched under the new
Ministry of Snus A/S company: Rite Arctic Chew Bags: Large White and Slim White! Do check out their
MinistryOfSnus.com website, it's really well done. Of the new RITE line, this is what they had to say: “
Having produced fine lifestyle products since 1826, makes us able to guarantee you the RITE quality. Expect a rock-solid experience that packs a real punch. Always and with no exception - Daringly strong. We strive to create simple, flavour packed experiences for you. Without excess and with design in mind."
RITE Arctic (Large)
The flavor description for
RITE Arctic Large says, "
A base of select tobacco, with a combination of mint flavors." This product comes with a 15g can with 20 portions for 0.75g portions. The nicotine content is 28mg/g (2.8%), or 21mg/portion.
When you open the can, the aroma that greets you is a sharp, biting, lightly sweet smell of peppermint. The portions themselves are soft to the touch, and feel rather comfortable in the lip. When you put a portion in the lip you'll encounter a mild burn, and then a fresh cooling presence, as well. The nicotine also comes on rather quickly. The flavor is a sharp, focused taste of peppermint with a light touch of sweetness. The nicotine kick is very strong. Though it is a white portion, the nicotine delivery is quick and it packs quite a punch. Comparing to other snus products or chew bag products, this feels right above the extra strong level. The flavor lasts a solid amount of time, as well; I find these last up to the hour mark!
RITE Arctic (Medium)
The flavor description for
RITE Arctic Medium says, "
A base of select tobacco, with a combination of mint flavors." This product comes with a 13.2g can with 24 portions for 0.55g portions. The nicotine content is 28mg/g (2.8%), or 21mg/portion.
This one is the same as the large version but with a few small differences. The aroma is sharp, mildly sweet smell of peppermint! The portions are slimmer, and have a great fit in the lip along with a soft portion material. There is also a mild burn when you put a portion in the lip, and a mild cooling presence as well! The flavor is very much the same; a sharp, focused, lightly sweet taste of peppermint. The nicotine is quite strong, but doesn't kick as hard as the large. Make no mistake, however, this stuff is strong, and it feels right above the extra strong level. The flavor also lasts a solid amount of time, on par with the one hour mark for the large version.
I was very impressed with these products. For first offerings from a brand new snus/chew company, these were of a very high quality and packed a great taste. If you want to try something new, check out their
website and you can order some from there! If you are unable to buy these, don't fret! They plan to launch them as snus versions soon for the Sweden and Norway markets.
