The G.3 line launched in 2014, and was Swedish Match’s “next generation” of General Snus. It was launched to have several “improvements” over standard General Snus portions: more nicotine, a slimmer fit, longer lasting flavor, a softer pouch, and less drip. General Portion is great, don’t get me wrong, but this really makes a lot of improvements. It’s a little stronger than I personally use, but I still think it’s a solid snus, and a standout in the General family!

In the world of mint products, it seems the Oden’s Cold line is one of the most popular. However, most tend to gravitate towards the White Dry category. Honestly, with mint products there aren’t many original portion mint flavors out there. So, today, we’re going to shine a light on an original portion mint product made by GN Tobacco. This one is an Extreme, and with the 1 gram portions will actually be stronger than a White Dry version. So, let’s check it out!

I’ve been a big fan of the Skruf line since I started using snus in my early days. Skruf, to me, was always like “the rebel” company. They took the traditional snus flavor profile and put a twist on it, adding their own touch on what they thought the flavor should be. And to this day, Skruf is still one of the best selling snus products out there. And, with good cause! Today, we have one of the OG Skruf products: Skruf White Portion, now called Skruf White No22 Medium. Let’s jump into it and check this one out!

The catch lid on this one pops off on top, and reveals your used portion compartment, a great place to discard of used pouches if you aren’t near a trash receptacle! The flavor description on this one says, “A white portion snus from Skruf with medium strong kicks and the iconic Skruf flavor of tobacco, bergamot and rose oil”. I counted 24 portions in the can, and with a 21.6g can weight that equates to 0.9g. The nicotine content sits at 12mg/g, so this one sits at around 10.8mg/portion.

Ettan White Portion holds a special place in my heart. When I first started using snus in 2009, it was actually one of the first snus products I liked. I was a big fan of Camel Mellow “snus” here in the US, and I found this flavor pretty approachable when coming over from that one. I of course used a lot of mint snus in the early days, but this is one that I really connected with. With Ettan, it’s a snus that has a chocolatey taste to the tobacco base, so I don’t use a lot of the original portion or loose, but the white portion I like a lot more. But, more on that later. First, let’s get to know this product!

This one has the standard catch lid on top for discarding your used portions. The flavor description on this one says, “The classic Ettan Snus, here in white portions! It delivers medium strong kicks together with a dark and smoky tobacco flavor”. The can weighs 21.6 grams. You’ll notice the portions come in a little swirl; this is called the “Star Formation” and is the way Swedish

I often talk about this product when talking about underrated snus products.  Swedish Match’s Kaliber+ Original Portion is one that has a really unique taste, and one that stands out.  To me, it’s one I keep around for use from time to time, and is something I get a craving for here and there.  This is one that has an interesting taste, and is one you have to check out for yourself.  So, why don’t we dive on into this review and check out Kaliber+ Original Portion?
