The can is cool as hell, can't deny that.
But, damn, I think this whole Cuban tobacco-snus thing is a giant rip off and a gimmick. First of all, the amount of snus you get in a can is very unsatisfactory. Secondly, the flavor to me tastes like soap...which brings back bad memories of adolescent cussing. At the very best, I find it to be an ok snus. I basically get over the soap taste and it does bake decently. However, I even find the nic fix a tad on the wimpy side. For the money, you could essentially get 10 free cans of Knox, 15 cans if you take in consideration the amount of snus in each can! (Admittedly, I haven't tried Knox yet and it kind of makes no sense for using it in my "Montecristo is overrated" thesis
I put Montecristo in a camp with many of the brands. I use it so that I don't waste it...and look forward to my true snus champions: Skruff strong both loose and portion, N and J, General Loose and Ettan or Lucky Strike with coffee.
Just my opinion.
