Mustang Lös

[lxskllr]

Just got this today. Smells a bit like a pipe tobacco bowl. Partially fresh tobacco, partially burnt remains. Has a light flavor of cherry, and a prominent flavor of burnt tobacco. Interestingly, it doesn't use smoke flavor. Salt content is relatively low for a Swedish Match product. Flavor mellows out fairly quickly, so it can be considered inoffensive. It's /ok/. I can't give a blanket recommendation to buy, but it's worth a try, especially for the price. If nothing else, it's better than Kronan, but that's not a high bar to surpass :^D

If it could be bought over the counter, I could see getting the occasional tin, especially if I were short on money, but barring it growing on me, these will be the last two tins I get. It's no Ettan.

Nice review brother

I am on my first can of this and so far I really like it.

My initial take is that the flavor profile falls somewhere between General and General ES................or a Prima Fint that you can actually taste. It is by far the best "bargain snus" I have tried (Pioneer, Kronan, Knox, Gringo). I would also buy it over several full priced snus brands out there (General, Prima to name two)

I don't get the cherry that Lx detects.....but I do detect something going on (which may be the cherry......I'll have to spend a little time with it and see what it is)

In my view this is well worth a try and has real rotation potential

I'm still going with cherry. It's subtle, but that's the best approach with fruit and tobacco. If I had to say it tasted like something, I'd go with it being somewhere between Röda lös and portion. I'm liking it better as I use it. I still don't think I'll order anymore, but if I could get it over the counter, I would; short on money, or not.

I will probably never order it online, but as you said if it was over the counter at the normal prices I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Get us some new stuff over here swedish match! This product is obviously for Americans, so why not push it in our stores.

This product is obviously for Americans, so why not push it in our stores.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Why tailor a product for a market and then never release it in that market.......there is much about the Swedish Business model that baffles me.

I haven't tried Grov or Roda Lacket yet but Mustang seems like the Maduro version of Ettan if you are familiar with cigars. Darker flavor profile less salt and a faint sweetness. So far I prefer Ettan but this isn't bad at all
