Copenhagen Snus

[Experimental Monkey]

Loose Cope snus? Hell yeah!!!

Sounds like this is going to be more of the same crap to me.... I have no faith in this whatsoever.... None... Zero... Notta... zilch.... Oh! Did I mention.... This is going to be more crap....

[jdman321]

The natural sounds interesting, but I'm not looking forward to it. I'll try it and decide then.

They list the sweetener sucralose in the ingredients for the mint and the wintergreen.

True, but look at the listing for regular Copenhagen. They don't list any kind of sweetener, even though it's fairly common knowledge that it contains molasses and cane sugar.

I will let one of resident reviewers test it first before I go anywhere near it.

At the end of the day it won't contain air dried tobacco, kept refrigerated or be steam pastuerized so I don't see myself being that interested.

Translation..... It will be crap...

So they list the sweeteners that are included in all of their products except for the traditional fine cut Copenhagen?

I'll have to try another can again some day, it's hard to find it fresh around these parts. I don't recall the fine cut having a sweet flavor at all.

If they can't replicate the moisture and portion size of the standard Swedish style, then it will be a failure. Well, real snusers won't like it.

I have never tried the pouched cope but would hope it would be comparable to that at least.

[tom502]

Taste wise the pouched cope was good, but the pouch was too big to be a proper portion snus, but then so are the latest American snus pouches. Just too big. If they can make this in a 1grm pouch it might be OK.

I would never trust snus if it's not Swedish, lol

I can't wait to try a natural American Snus.
If they can replicate Copenhagen Long Cut or Copenhagen Snuff in a snus it would be AWESOME.

I see where they list saccharine byproducts in their products, because the EPA required them (and everyone else) to do the same until December of last year. They don't have to list sugar, molasses, honey, corn syrup, malt barley, rice syrup or any of the other hundreds of sweeteners that every American tobacco company puts in their oral and smoking tobaccos.

Whether you "taste" the sweetness in Copenhagen is irrelevant. It's there, if you care to do a google search. Some place the content as low as 2% and some as high as 18% (it depends on what you consider "real" sugar). It's a tradition that goes back hundreds of years and will likely always be a fixture of American tobacco products. Same thing with cigarettes. They sure don't taste like a honey bun even though they have a sugar content of 15% or more.

Swedish snus hasn't contained any sugar since about 1970, when they figured out that it contributed to tooth decay. We're about 40 years behind the times in this country.

Some people like tooth decay.
