I believe this is simply the best snus out there, period. If I had to choose one for life it would be grov white.
This is a solid straight tobacco snus. I find the aroma to be more pungent than most and very inviting when you put your nose in the can. Almost all of the cans I've opened have had a little ammonia smell to them which tips you off to the quality and freshness.
I also find this to be the most aromatic snus in the lip too, well, at least as far as white portions go. This only enhances the experience. The taste is brown and leathery with a touch of smokiness. The nicotine is present but not offensive and stays pretty even throughout the life of the snus.
A few sips of water gets the juices flowing but otherwise the white portion here stays pretty dry for over 1½ hours. It's similar in quality to Ettan but without the buttery feel towards the end.
Try this one with a cup of coffee and you'll be very compelled to repeat the process.
This was my most hated snus. It was one of my first, in the white sampler. I couldn't stand it then. Everyone said my tastes would change, I tried it a few months later, still hated it. I tried the los after that, one pris and it was on the exchange thread. I recently got another can as a mystery can from Getsnus. I said wth, I'll try it again. Its not bad at all. Reminds me of Kronan. I guess my tastes have changed in the past 8 months, oh well. I still prefer Ettan, but Grov isn't as bad as I remember.

Grov is.....rustic. That's how I see the stuff. It's definitely good. There's really nothing bad to say about it. That rustic feeling i get....not sure how to put that. Maybe a little bit of musky spice, mixed with tobacco. (Reminds me of Nick and Johnny East, but with slightly different spices)
Something I could see a cowboy using, or packaging it with Stetson cologne. Don't know why I get that from Grov, but I do. :P
Definitely something everyone should try. I give it a 4 out of 5. I like the taste, but I'd like it to be a bit stronger in the flavor department.

Grov tastes good. I like the OP, so thought I'd give the white a go too, and it's nice. A bit milder in the taste department, but no less pleasant. It is quite salty, though.
I like to alternate Grov and Ettan, they compliment each other as daily go-to snus choices.
Upon opening the can, the nose is met with robust tobacco, smokiness, leather, and a slight hint of chocolate. All of the portions are arranged in the signature star formation like the rest of Swedish Match white portion products. In the lip, the flavor starts out subtle and eventually reveals a pure, bold flavor of tobacco and a generous amount of salt. This snus tastes and smells nearly identical to the loose and original varieties of the brand. If you're looking for a natural, no-frills white portion snus, Grov White is what you're looking for.
Everyone says that one gets used to the prevalence of salt in snus and in general I have but Grov portions just seem way over the top in that regard although the white is a bit less so than the OP. Grov los however is to die for.
The snus comes in white portions containing 1g snus per portion and each can 22g snus in total. The portions are arranged in an attractive star formation in the can and have a slightly wedged shape (like General Onyx) to them making them a comfortable fit under the lip.
The can is blue in colour and the artwork gold and white featuring the One Series branding.

Looking at the can it has a grey and white khaki design representing the manufacturer's vision for the Soldat brand whereby it's a snus that is solid and can reliably deliver ...
