Röda Lacket, White Portion

I was drunk while I had this, couldn't feel anything else than.. salt. Or there was some candy taste in the beginning but very mild. Must try this again!

I haven't had it since 2007. I think I rated it as /alright/, but got tired of the flavor quickly. It gets my vote for the most dramatic difference between los and portion. They're 2 completely different products.

This thread makes me sad seeing mentions of my beloved claq qui. Im about to order a roll of roda, and try revisiting roda los.
Oh and vegan if you read this.... Like 8 months later since you asked, i used my last claq qui at mardi gras :{(

ROda lOs has been a fav from the start.
I do wish they would of made a regular portion over white but don't see that happening with everything else going on

This is one of my favorite non sterk snus. RL White portion to me has almost a mild loose leaf chew flavor to it .. abit of rasin flavor but not overtly sweet...has just a hint? of salmiak to ballance it out. Standard star portion 24g/portions a good all around evryday snus imo. and the can lid never needs realignment !

It's been a LONG time since I've had Roda Lacket. Lately I've been revisiting old snuses in the past I've tried, but haven't reviewed for some reason. Roda Lacket is one of them. The bright red can is the current Roda Lacket can, and if it tells you how long it's been since I've had it, the last can of Roda Lacket I had is directly behind it. The old can had this cool little 80's vibe to it, the new can is a simple but classy red look. I don't know many Roda Lacket fans, but I know Anthony from DrSnus.com is a big fan and uses Roda quite a bit. I don't remember much about my experience with Roda in the past, I remember it was okay - I do remember, however, that I didn't like Claq Qui, which was a strong, amped up version of Roda Lacket. Much to the discontent of hardcore fans, however, Claq Qui was discontinued 13 January 2009. One of the snuses I didn't like. I think I liked Roda because it wasn't as strong tasting, and much more mellow. I think others liked Claq Qui because it was so bold and strong. Anyways, moving along!

Roda is an old brand, the oldest next to Ettan. It was launched in 1850. Roda Lacket is a white portion snus from Swedish Match, meaning it is arranged in the star formation which is common to all Swedish Match white portion snuses. Last time I tried it they weren't doing this for all of them. The portions have that little moisture ring around the top of the portion which means this portion is going to be moist, always a good thing. The aroma is fruity, reminds me kind of GR No2 but without the juniper/floral/lemon thing going on. Just straight fruity. The taste is slightly sweet - a mellow berry flavor that tastes like a mix of cranberry and strawberry. The taste is very fresh, with a mild salt balance and a gentle flavor. I've heard in the past (and read in the product description) about a taste of licorice, I've never really detected this flavor. All things considered, Roda Lacket is pretty good - as I said with my review of Göteborgs Rapé, this is a snus that you can throw into your rotation to mix things up a bit. It's quite good.

It is definitely asummer snus. I always crack open a can around June-July.

I tried Roda Lackett in my search for what I found was the discontinued Claq Qui on referral from other members here.

I think I was anticipating something similar to GR No.2, maybe a little less herbal. I was shocked to open the can. The sweet aroma smacks you in the face! The smell alone makes my mouth water. I get none of the usual saltiness. I liken the taste to Cranberry Apple or Cranberry Raspberry juice. The tobacco flavor, when it does come through, is very faint, but noticeable. The taste is enjoyable, but as far as nicotine, I feel like I'd have to double lip them to really get a nice hit.

I can't say I really care for the can design. IMO paper labels just look cheap. If the entire can was painted like the design as opposed to labels (i.e. Skruf or Taboca) I think it would bump the class factor up.

Overall, I like it, but I can't imagine it being an all day snus. The taste is just so stong, and the nicotine not so much. The can I have in my fridge will be there for a while. I like it as my last snus of the night before bed; I'm not all jacked up before laying down, but still snussed enough to do the dishes, straighten up, and setup the coffee pot. It's a nice snus to clean the palette and switch things up, even if for just a portion.

It strikes me as very Spring or Summery. I'll have to give it a shot in a few months when I can sit outside and enjoy a nice Vodka and Iced Tea with it on the deck.

I'll order a couple cans here and there in future orders, but a roll is not for me.
7/10. Offer a sterk, and maybe 8/10.
