A few months back,
I wrote that Granit Snus was being discontinued, and being merged into the Lundgren's Snus line. Today we have the old
Granit Strong White, now known as Lundgren's Vit Portion Stark! It retains its former lower pricing level, as well. I saw on
Snusport that this one is priced at $3.89. Compared to General, for example, at $5.07 per can. Each can weighs 17.6g and has 22 portions, sitting at 0.8g each. The nicotine content is 16mg/g. But, with the 0.8g portions that breaks down to 12.8mg/portion. Or, right at the "stark" / "strong" level. To kick off this review, if you liked the old Granit lineup, you'll be pleased with the new Lundgrens. All these flavors are the same as the old Granit products, but just with a new name/can design. Now, let's see how it tastes!
Opening the can, I pick up a mild aroma of bergamot, gentle hints of pepper, and a light tobacco base. The portions are semi-plump, with a moderate moisture amount. The portion material is semi-soft, with a decently comfortable feel under the upper lip. In the flavor profile, it doesn't appear to have changed much since the last time I had it. The flavor is still the traditional taste of Swedish Snus. I pick up a mild bergamot flavor first. It's slightly peppery, and has a pretty nice earthy tobacco base underneath. In the strength, this one does feel a little above the regular strength level, but isn't too crazy strong. The flavor lasts about an hour or so, on average. So, a decent lifespan with this one.
Rating and Final Thoughts
This one has the same rating from the last time I had Granit Stark White, 3.25/5. It's basically the same thing, but with a new name and a new can design. So, I can say this, if you liked the old Granit Strong White, you'll be pleased with this one. It's basically the same thing.
