Today, I'm reviewing a new mint snus product from GN Tobacco, err, Swedish Smokeless Solutions (new name) in Sweden! You know, it's funny, back in the heyday of snus, new mint snus products came out all the time. I used to complain when I reviewed them because there were SO many of them. Now, I'm rejoicing to be reviewing a real snus product (because I review so many nicotine pouches) and don't care that it's mint. My how times have changed. Today we have Lenny's Cut Mint Original Portion! The flavor description says "
A classic taste of mint". Each can weighs 20 grams and has 20 portions, for 1 gram each. The nicotine content is 9mg/g, and with 1g portions that's easy to calculate: 9mg/portion!
Opening the can, I pick up a nice aroma of spearmint. I was wondering how close this would be to their
Oden's Cold Original Portion (or if it would be a clone), but this one doesn't seem as pungent in aroma as that one. It's more balanced. It makes me think more of
Offroad Frosted, but a little more sweet. For those who haven't had either of those, it's a lightly sweet spearmint aroma. The portions are beautiful. Big, plump, moist - it doesn't get any better. I also get a nice cooling presence under the lip from the mint. In the flavor, it's like the aroma. I pick up a simple, mild taste of spearmint. It's lightly sweet, but yes, a little sweeter than the old Offroad Frosted. I also can taste some tobacco in the background, which is nice. The nicotine level feels about regular, and has a pretty steady delivery. The flavor hangs out a good 40-45 minutes, on average.
Rating and Final Thoughts
I enjoyed this one. I think moreso because it's real snus, which I don't get to review much anymore. I gave this one a 3.83/5. I don't do a lot of mint products, but this one was still pretty good. I'd buy more of it, especially because it does remind me of the old Offroad Frosted, which I miss. So, if you like mint products and want to try something new, check these out!
