Reviews of 02 Portion.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

I just got this yesterday. It's a great snus IMO. Very comfortable and nice big nic hit. *Kinda* reminds me of a crossbread of GES and Claq Qui. Not as much juice though. Give it a go!

I got my roll of 02 in the mail today. I was so excited when I arrived home to see the package that I immediately spit out my Granit portion and washout out my mouth with water to clean my palate.

The can is beautiful. It has a very simplistic and modern design that makes this product stand out from the crowd. The can is gray with sparkles that make it appear to be luxurious and sophisticated.

One of the most important parts of reviewing snus is the odor. I was pleasantly surprised; its very mellow and with unique hints of nuts, pines, slight bergamot, wood, and herbs. The odor reminds me of camping in the wilderness. I have never smelled snus like this before. If Swedish Match is aiming toward people that don't normally snus, this is definitely the ticket; the mellow odor will attract veterans and newcomers alike.

Flavor is a make-or-break deal when it comes to snus. Similar to the odor, its very mellow at first and very slowly seeps out the signature salty flavor of snus. The herbal and nutty flavor balances out the mellow tobacco flavor flawlessly. Another surprise was the lack of overpowering tobacco flavor; all "strong" snus I have tried assaults your taste buds with bitterness. 02, on the other hand, stays mellow from start to finish; I sometimes forget 02 is a strong portion!

The most unique features of 02 are the sachet length and the non-drip formula. The portions fit snug in the upper lip; this is the most comfortable snus I have ever used. I'm afraid "old-school" portions will be unacceptable to me from now on. The non-drip formula works just as stated on the can. There is no drip, yet the moist flavor of the snus assaults the palate through the entire duration of use.

Dosage-wise, this snus hits fast and tapers off after forty minutes. I was on a date tonight, so I went three hours without any snus (heaven forbid)! Within one minute, I was hit with a relaxing sensation throughout my body, and the wonderful "awwww..." feeling when your nicotine blood levels are replenished after nicotine abstinence.

This is the snus I have been waiting for, its: mellow, non drippy, hits hard, and fits in my mouth perfectly. Simply put, I don't know if I will ever go back to any other snus; loose and portions both apply.

On a scale of one to five, I give 02 a 6/5.

The taste and the strenght are good. But comparing 02 non drip portion and the classic type portion I prefer the second. Non drip type feels a little too dry. I also prefer the wider portion shape to the long one.

[justintempler]

Just had my 1st 02 portion, still has taste after 2 hours.
I love the bag, will make a great stealth snus for people that have to use it at work undetected.

I'm undecided on taste, the taste reminds me of GES and Retro original portions but different.

[wadetheblade]

I don't know if its just me or what, but I swear 02 taste just like Tre Ankare. But stronger. I tried the two back to back, to me its the same. Anyone else notice this? I have not had 01. I like the portion shape, but its just a strong tre ankare.

[WickedKitchen]

This one hits you like a ton of bricks. It's very strong, almost too strong when you hit them back to back.

I can keep this snus in until I need to do something else. It has be best staying power I've tried yet...if you can get past the freight train of nicotine. You can certainly taste the woods in this one and it has an outdoorsy feel.

@ wadetheblade - I can see the similarities w/ Tre Ankare but 02/01 seems much softer to me. Tre can be hard on the gums after a while, IMO. This one keeps the mouth nice.

[fdknuckles]

I finally got my O2 and was surprised when my expectations based on y'alls reviews weren't met.
To me the flavor is very subtle and instead of advertising O2 as "no drip", i should be called "delayed drip". After about 30-40 minutes the drip starts, but when it hit my throat...GOOD LORD. The harshest drip I've experienced thus far. Maybe it's just me, but I'm unimpressed, I'll finish the can and hope for a better experience.

[fdknuckles]

Maybe I should print a retaction. I'm getting close to the bottom f the can now, and the flavor is still mild, but the drip doesn't seem to be bothering me near as much. Where as I might of given it a 6 out of 10 on initial impressions, I'd say it's a solid 8 now.

[Veganpunk]

I finally got around to opening my can of 02. (Thanks Chad!) I like it so much better then 01. The taste is close, but the extra kick in the 02 makes it better. I got burned out on the 01 and had to force myself to finish it, but I'm flying through the 02. They last way longer too. I had one in while watching a movie yesterday and I know I left in in up to 2 and a half hours. The taste was still good.

[APX]

Good nic hit. Love the shape of the portion. Now that I've been snusing for a few months and not used dip, I'm wanting some more juice with my snus. Hurry up Grov and General ES to my doorstep!

Well thanks to TheOneandOnly I am trying this. I like the taste and the size of the portions, but I am not finding the slower drip like everyone else. Maybe it is just how often I drink and snus or something. I don't mind it tho, because I enjoy the flavor so the drip is ok.

I might just have to rotate this in to my daily use, it packs a good nic hit. I can't decide if I like it better than Skruf ES or not. Skruf sure does have that unique flavor.

[Mrobin52]

I really like the long portion design though delayed drip is right I certainly wouldn't say its a no drip portion. Is it just me or does the flavor remind anybody, who has gotten to try it anyway, of a strong version of the Lucky Strike portions?

[Coffey]

I like this snus very much. It reminds me of Diplomat a lot, which used to be one of my favs. I like the drip of a standard portion, but the no drip idea is an interesting one. I also like the mini on steroids shape of the portion itself, as I frequently roll my standard portions into a similar shape. Overall, I think this stuff will become part of my regular rotation.

[PipenSnus]

This is my desert island snus. If I had to get by on only one brand, this would be it. I love the subtle complexity of the flavors, the portion shape is perfect, and the nic hit generous. I have one every morning with coffee, and later in the day it's an ideal pick-me-up. The industrial-style design of the can won't appeal to everyone, but it's sleek and chic.
