Recently launched by Skruf Snus AB, Nord 66 is a new line of snus consisting of Nordic Breeze, Strong White, and Extra Strong Portion. Nord 66 Extra strong is a regular portion snus which contains 22 grams of snus per can and has the highest nicotine content of the lineup with a 4/4 strength rating (approximately 17-20mg of nicotine per portion).
Once I opened my can of Xtra Strong, I was greeted with a peppery tobacco aroma with notes of citrus present (similar to Strong White). The aroma was quite savory, and I was excited to try a few portions. After using about half the can, I began to notice an initial tobacco taste which was a cross between earthy and peppery and I found it to be very nice without being too overpowering. There was also a slight hint of citrus present, but it was hard to detect. The tobacco flavor lasted for about half an hour before it began to become increasingly salty tasting, and I removed my portion after forty-five minutes because of this.
Overall, I really enjoyed Nord 66 Xtra Strong. It has a great tobacco taste and produces a strong nicotine buzz which is great for those who enjoy extra strong snus brands. I recommend Xtra Strong to those who are looking for a tobacco dominant snus with a kick, and it pairs well with coffee and Belgian beer.
