Wow, the contrast on the photo of this can got really dark. I'm not sure how that happened, but it's pretty neat. Anyways, sorry. I had to comment on that. So, what do we have today? This is a Ministry of Snus product in their Ace series, and one with an interesting flavor. Meet Ace X Superwhite Black Raspberry Chili. All props to Another Snus Factory for their Loop series, because now we're seeing other companies starting to put chili in their recipe. This is the first "spicy raspberry" pouch I've seen so far, so I was pretty stoked to try it out.
Flavor description on this one says "
A taste of raspberries and hints of chili". Each can weighs 10 grams and has 20 pouches for 0.5 grams each. The nicotine content is 16mg/g, which breaks down to 8mg/pouch.
When you open the can, the aroma that comes through is a present, sweet flavor of raspberry. It does have a slight hint of chili to it, but it's not overbearingly hot or anything. The pouches are slim, and pretty soft. They have a nice moisture amount. They are a little lighter in weight, yes, but I don't notice it as much as with some others at a similar weight. They feel pretty nice under the lip and yield a little heat against the gum. In the flavor, it's pretty solid. There's a good raspberry taste to it, along with a light touch of chili. It has a light sweetness to it, but it's not overdone. In the nicotine area, this one feels to be about the regular strength level. The flavor, on average, lasts around 40 to 45 minutes.
Rating and Final Thoughts
This one was pretty tasty. I wasn't sure how raspberry and chili would meld together, but it came across pretty well in the end! I rated this one at 3.5/5. As someone who loves spicy stuff, I'm happy to see more companies embracing the chili method and adding some heat to their flavors. I hope to see more companies doing this in the future!
