Revisit of Camel frost snus

[Ainkor]

I haven't had any in a while and I figured I would pick up a can since they are sold locally now and pass on my more refined review of it.

I have been using Swedish snus almost exclusively for the last 6 months or so and I actually think that I like the Camel frost but only occasionally.

As far as flavor, its minty, sweet and mildly creamy if you can imagine a snus flavor being creamy.

The portions last a good while. I have one in now and I've had it in for about an hour. The flavor mellows out at about the 30 minute mark and stays pretty constant from there on out.

The portion bags are different now too. They are really long and skinny. it looks like they have the same amount of filling as before just the bag size changed. They tin cost me $3.89 locally and they only have 15 portions in them so they are not that good of a deal.

In regards to nicotine, they are on the low side compared to normal portions (8mg per portion) but not that much lower.

I can't see myself using them daily but as a treat, they might have a place in my freezer. I could see myself grabbing one instead of grabbing an after dinner desert. Not sure if I could take the non-stop sweetness now but it does have an interesting flavor profile after the initial syrupy sweet hit.

One thing that is odd about the Camel portions is that the pouch itself is sweet too. I tore open a pouch to look at the filling and as far as I can tell it is just tobacco on a macro level. Since Camel doesn't list the ingredients I can't comment on a micro level.

I too have revisted Camel since last year, in the past couple of weeks. And I was surprised that I like them. They are just to damn sweet to chain snus them or as a daily snus. The sweetness gets to me after awhile :?

[Dunno]

I just spit one out and put in a general. I agree that they're pretty sweet but I think I prefer the sweetness to the saltiness.

I also like that they conceal easily (in the cheek) for the times when you need to be a little more incognito.

I will probably pick up a can of the new Mellow flavor tomorrow. However, it's just out of curiosity.

i LOVE camel snus...i wish there was a Swedish snus that tasted just like it only with higher nic content (is there anything close? please tell me!!!?)

i don't know why, but i like really really sweet snus, the first time i tried these i was like holy hell that is damn good! the only problem is i have to use 2 to get a buzz, and with only 15 in there, lets just say i used about 3 tins in my first week or so!

i don't know, love it, both frost and mellow.

lol someone PLEASE tell me of the most similar Swedish snus compared to camel snus.

i heard lucky strike was, is this true?

thanks,
scott

edit: you know what mellow tastes like to me, is like coffee or something, idk its damn good, and id have to say my favorite so far, as far as flavor...nic hits are weak though.

The new Thunder Frost that is supposed to come out in the next month or so is supposed to be Spearmint flavored. I should be getting a sample can in the next week or so and am looking forward to reviewing it. I too have been looking for a nice spearmint flavored stronger snus.
