The Lundgrens brand is very popular in Sweden, and it makes sense.  The brand has unique, outdoor inspired flavors, the innovative FlexLid, and the exclusive perforated portion.  Fiedler & Lundgren really created something unique and special with this product line.  Today we’re talking about my favorite Lundgrens product, Lundgrens Västkusten (West Coast) Perforated White Portion!  The product description for this one says, “Lundgrens Västkusten White is made from organic swedish grown tobacco. The taste is inspired by citrus with elements of wild rose from the west coast rosehip and with floral heather that is added to the classic taste of Lundgren’s snus. This snus has a regular sized perforated white pouch, to enhance the flavor and fit.  The can has a flexilid. The space where you put your used pouches expands to fit more.”  Each can weighs 21.6g and has 24 portions, with a nicotine content of 10mg/g.

The perforated portion is exclusive to the Lundgrens brand and is incredibly unique.  It has little holes in it which allow for a quicker flavor release.  This format also comes with the long lasting flavor of a white portion, so it’s the best of both worlds.  I was worried that snus would come out of the holes and into my mouth, but thankfully it did not happen.

The brand also comes with the FlexLock, or FlexLid, which is a catch lid that expands as you add more portions to it.

This snus has a great aroma!  There’s a sweet smell of rose, an herbal hint, and some mild tobacco.  It definitely makes me think of the sea, for some reason.  The portions are pretty comfortable in the lip, but I find if I use this snus exclusively for long periods of time it can become irritating.  So it’s not a full time use product for me, but something I’d use on occasion.  The flavor is delicious, however.  The rose flavor is present, and lightly sweet.  There’s also this neat little herbal thing going on in the background, which works well with the rose.  Then, I pick up a mild tobacco character as well.  It doesn’t overpower the other flavors, though.  The nicotine strength on this one feels to be about the regular level, and the flavor lasts up to about an hour!

Lundgrens Västkusten (West Coast) Perforated White Portion is a unique, great tasting snus.  If you want something a little different, this is a nice change of pace!

Today, we’re talking about a new product with the unique taste of champagne – G4 Fizzy (All White) Slim!  The flavor of champagne seems to be a new fad in the snus world.  Swedish Match released a Small Batch one a while back, and they also recently released Göteborgs Rapé XRANGE Sparkling Slim White to celebrate GR’s 100 year anniversary.  And now, the flavor comes to the all white format!  If you aren’t familiar with G4, Swedish Match says it has the same consistency and feeling as traditional snus, but without any tobacco taste.  It is composed of plant fiber and a small share of white tobacco, and is white before, during, and after use.

The product description says it has a “mellow character with distinct notes of citrus and peach, along with hints of grapefruit and rose water“.  It comes in a 19.2g can with 24 portions and has a nicotine content of 12.5mg/g.

While this snus is champagne-inspired, I find the actual character of it to be much more unique.  When you go into it, don’t think champagne.  Open your mind.  The aroma of this one is fresh, and has a nice presence of fruit and citrus.  I smell orange, grapefruit, and a little peach!  The portions are slim, and feel great in the lip; they’re quite comfortable!  The flavor is very bold with this one.  I notice a lot of citrus, which seems like bergamot and grapefruit.  The peach flavor mixes in very well, and is lightly sweet.  The nicotine level feels to be about the regular strength level, and the flavor seems to last around 45 minutes on average.

I found myself enjoying this one more than I expected.  I couldn’t see myself using G4 Fizzy (All White) Slim full time, but it’s a fun flavor for the summer, and something nice to mix up the rotation.

I know what you’re thinking, “Hey, aren’t there like 9,000 mint snus products on the market already?”

Yes, there are.  Probably more.

But this one is something special.  In my humble opinion, it is one of the best mint products on the market.  It doesn’t seem to get talked about as much, but this one is a true diamond in the rough.

Meet U-Sample No7 Sweet Mint (Slim White), by AG Snus!

The flavor description for this one says it has a “fresh and sweet taste of mint”.  It comes in a 16.8g can with 24 portions, and has a nicotine strength of 10mg/g!

When you open the can, the aroma that jumps out at you is a sweet smell of peppermint with a mild smell of vanilla.  It’s a beautiful pairing, truly.  The portions are slim, soft, and feel great in the lip.  Since it’s a mint product, you’ll get a nice cooling sensation under the lip as well, which is quite refreshing!  The taste is a present, but gentle, sweet taste of peppermint.  The vanilla flavor is in the background, but works well with the peppermint flavor.  It’s a beautiful pairing, much like with the aroma.  The nicotine on this one feels to be right at the strong level.  A little stronger than regular strength, but not too over the top.  I find the flavor, on average, lasts about 50-55 minutes, so I can get a pretty good lifespan with this snus!

If you like mint products, U-Sample Sweet Mint is a must try.  What are you waiting for?  Go grab some today.  It’s one of the best mint products on the market!

In the snus world, there isn’t a snus as underrated as LD.  It seems LD doesn’t hardly ever get discussed, which is a travesty!  Especially, given how great it tastes and the price it’s available for.  LD Stark Original is the newest release in the LD line, and it’s rapidly becoming a favorite here!  The LD line is a product line from Nordic Snus AB (formerly JTI), and has been around for quite a while.  After Nordic Snus took over, they really pushed forward with LD, and gave it a slick new design, as well!

The flavor description for this one says, “LD Original Stark Strong Portion has a soft taste of tobacco, with a hint of citrus and bergamot. This snus has a regular sized pouch.”  It comes in an 18 gram can with 20 portions, and a nicotine strength clocking in at 14mg/g!

LD is very much a traditional snus experience.  When you open the can, a light, gentle smell of citrus greets you along with hints of mild tobacco.  The portions are plump, moist, and have a quick release of flavor.  The taste is very much the traditional snus flavor of citrus.  I find the citrus taste of this one to be pretty mild in nature, and not too sour or tart.  It’s a very gentle citrus flavor.  The tobacco flavor is mild, earthy, and stays behind the flavor of the citrus.  While not as peppery as General, for example, I do notice a little pepper taste in the background of this one.  The nicotine strength feels to be firmly at the strong level, but it isn’t too over the top.  I find the flavor on this one lasts about 45-55 minutes, so a pretty good lifespan for LD Stark!

If you like traditional snus flavor, check out LD.  Especially LD Stark Original.  While it may not be discussed as much as some other products, it’s definitely worth a try if you like traditional, citrus flavors!
