Update (20 February 2025) - I think these may be made in the EU now and not in Russia from what I've heard.
So I don't repeat myself with each review, I want to touch on two things that's the same for each product: flavor longevity and nicotine. I can't speak to how long the flavors last because, honestly, I can't keep them in that long; they're very, very strong. I feel the nicotine within about 5 minutes and at 10 minutes my head is spinning.
Flavor Description: "Favorite childhood candies of every generation".
I don't know what barberry is, but my friend Snus.biz told me it was a very popular sucking candy during the USSR era. Wikipedia says it's a type of evergreen shrub, and apparently the small berries are used in jams. The aroma is a very, very mild, non-sweet berry smell. It's like an extremely muted cranberry. The portions come with a burn in the lip once you put them in. The flavor is like a very mild, non-sweet cranberry with a slight herbal hint to it. I've never had barberry but that's the best I can do to describe it!
Flavor Description: "Megamix of vanilla and cherry flavors".
I'm a big fan of the vanilla cola flavor. When I make my own snus, it's one I make often. When you open the can, the aroma is a mild mix of vanilla and cola. It burns a bit when you smell it, and it also burns when you put it under the lip. The flavor is pretty solid though, it's one I'd certainly dig in a snus. It's a mildly sweet flavor of vanilla and cola. I notice more vanilla than cola, but they're both there.
Flavor: "Energetic for extreme lovers".
Side note, as a hockey fan I really like this can design. This one has a tangy, kind of energy drink smell to it. When you a portion under the lip, like with the others, it has a mild burn to it. The flavor has a very straightforward energy drink flavor. It's pretty mild in nature, and not overly sweet or anything. It's a little tangy, like with an energy drink. So with this one, you get the energy drink taste, but a nicotine kick.
Flavor: "The best taste of summer".
The aroma of this one is a very mild melon smell. It seems reminiscent of cantaloupe. It's not too sweet, either. When you put a portion under the lip, you'll encounter a mild burning sensation, like with the other FEDRS products. The flavor is a pretty mild flavor of melon, which reminds me mostly of cantaloupe. It's not overly sweet, either. It's a pretty gentle taste.
Flavor: "Uncompromising aroma of fresh mint".
Like the energy one, I like the can design of this one. I'm a hockey fan, so I like the hockey guy on the can. The aroma of this one is seems to be a gentle smell of peppermint and menthol. Like with other FEDRS products, I get a mild burn in the lip, but also a light cooling sensation since this is a mint product. The flavor seems to be a really light, mild taste of peppermint. It's not super sweet, either. It does have a little sweetness to it, but it's not overdone.
Flavor: "Ripe pear - bright colors of summer".
This one has a pretty mild aroma of pear. It's not really in your face, and not overly sweet. Like with other FEDRS products, you'll encounter a little burn when you put one of these under your lip. The flavor is a pretty mild taste of pear. Like the aroma, it's not overly sweet, either. I don't notice much else, it's pretty much just the flavor of pair.
Flavor: "The taste of the legendary chewing gum".
This one has a mild spearmint smell. It's got a little sweetness to it, but not too much. Like with the mint one, you get a little burn when you put one of these under your lip, but also a light cooling presence since it's a mint product. The flavor is a pretty straightforward spearmint taste. It's mild, and gentle in nature. There is a little sweetness to it, but it's not overdone. It tastes a lot like spearmint gum, like the flavor description mentions.
One takeaway I had from all these products was that they weren't overly sweet. I don't know if that's a characteristic of Russian flavor profiles, but I did notice that. I'm glad I got to review these, but it was definitely a challenge to get through them. They are incredibly strong. If you're a nicotine junkie, you may like the kick these have.
