When I first saw this on buysnus I thought it was going to be melon flavored, like the cranberry flavored tranbar. It still looks good though, I love skruf! -
Review from the blog...
It's been a while since I wrote about a new Skruf product. The last one I wrote about was the release of Skruf XTra Stark in February of 2010. Today I'm writing about three new products - Skruf Mellan (White Portion), Skruf Tranbar (White Portion), and Skruf Slim: Fresh (White Portion). Slim and fresh, sounds like me and my personality. Skruf is moving forward in a big way, not just with the release of these 3 new products, but they've launched a webstore of their own - SkrufStore.se, kind of like the Oden's/GN folks did - OdensSnus.com. So if you're in Sweden, check it out - because I think that's the only place they ship to anyway. Alright, so moving along, let's get into the reviews. I'm going to do all three in this one article.
Note: I did these in order on my blog, so the reviews are copy'd and paste'd to different reviews on SnusOn. Forgive me they have continuity errors or references to "previous" reviews.
The next one I spent some time with was the new Skruf Mellan (White Portion). I know you're thinking what I thought when I read that the first time. Melon....snus? Mellan is actually a Swedish word, which loosely means "middle". In Sweden they have Mellan Milk, Mellan Beer, etc. It's kind of the "in between-er". It's the first snus I've noticed that makes use of the 1 on the can's strength scale. The description of this one reads as follows, "Not too strong, not too weak… …just right! This snus has a mild tobacco character and lower nicotine content than the original Skruf." Swedish Match recently released the Catch Pure Mint and General Smooth Flavour which are both medium snuses (Mellan, if you will) - classic tasting products with a lighter nicotine strength. There must be a new demographic to appeal to that is asking for less nicotine in their snus, apparently not everyone is a stark-lover!
Opening the can I found the classic Skruf aroma that I love oh so much, that mellow tobacco with a little hint of rose, it's very unique and you'll only find this aroma in Skruf. The portions are white portions with a generous amount of nicotine. They're surprisingly moist for white portions, they feel super soft in your hand and very comfortable in your mouth. The taste of these reminds me a lot of the classic Skruf recipe, just a little more chill and mellow. The taste is a lot like Skruf Stark (White Portion), but with less nicotine. A little more mellow on the flavor and aroma, you could call it Skruf Stark Lite. I myself like regular strength with an occasional stark so this isn't my cup of tea personally, but for those looking for a classic taste (especially if you're a Skruf fan) but with less nicotine - you can't go wrong with this one.Comment

^Chad, do you know when Skruf Xtra Stark Long Portion will be released?Comment

I know Skruf XTra Stark performs really well in lead markets, I can imagine if this slim does well it would lead to more Skruf coming soon, my guess would be starting with Stark first, though, which sells a lot more units than XTra Stark, but I don't think it'd be out of the realm of possibility that we'll see it at some point in time. I shot an email to R&D just out of curiousity to see if it's in the mix though.Originally posted by snusjus View PostComment
