    Klondike Cherry Blast

    I havn't done a review in a really really long time so...I figured I just mysteriously recieved a tin of KLONDIKE CHERRY BLAST and decided to do one for you enjoyment...

    So I think the first thing we might take a look at here is price. It costs about 2.75/tin plus shipping. While this sounds like a good deal, the tin only holds 20 portions. Like a lot of other "Amerish Snus" (American/Swedish Snus) they cut 4 portions out. The tin is a bit smaller than a standard swedish can and there is no "ashtray" lid.

    The second thing I'd like to mention is the taste. This is perhaps the sweetest tasting snus outisde of American Camel Snus that I have tastedm but not in an unpleasent way. It does not last a terribly long time...30 min MAX I would say. I don't get the want, to stick my toungue directly on it like with Camel Snus...it's just not as sweet. I believe this is made with the swedish regulations so health concerns are taken care of
    so in conclusion...

    I would put this one in the recommend slot for those like me who enjoy...
    Sweeter things...
    Don't mind the short taste span...
    Enjoy Flavored snus(cherry especially)

    I don't think there is a lot of demand for cherry snus and with the FDA bill passed they probably won't be around forever so give it a try...you might be suprised...I was.

    Ctimb what is up bro. Good to see you up and running. Also, nice review.

    One question: would you say the cherry is more candy tasting, more natural, or more like a cough drop?

        Thanks Snusdog...

        To answer your question "IMHO" I would not really call it Natural but it's not really candy like either. I think if it were more of that candy flavor I would want to suck on it like I do when I have an american camel in. It certainly has a sorta artificial taste to it but it's not horrible...I would say the closest way to describe it for me would be to say that when you put one in it makes you think of a marichino cherry of sorts...just not quite as sweet.

          From your review, this sounds like it would fit in the same category as Discreet. Its flavors also only last about 30 minutes. Anything longer and you start to get sick of the sweetness.

          The flavors though are very well balanced. As long as you stick to the 30 minute thing, it is very pleasant.

          To me, these...Amerish snus as you put it, are about halfway there. They stepped it up from Camel and have the look and feel of a Swedish brand snus, but are still a little too into the fruit/candy flavors.

          One day, one of these companies are going to get it right. It will be interesting to see who does it first.

            Thanks mate. Also love the "Amerish". I think you've just coined a new snuson term

              Interesting point about "getting it right" What I need to do now that I have tried the Cherry is to step back and do a side by side of Thunder Wintergreen and Klondike Wintergreen and see where the difference lies. And to snusdog...Being FROM American I couldn't call it Swedican...but for those outside of America I think that would be there term really I just got tired of writing American/Swedeish Style Snus...WAY to long lol

                I just bought the Cherry Blast, mint and wintergreen. At this time there ARE 24 portions in each tin. The Cherry Blast was a pleasant suprize. It tastes like it should. The Wintergreen also tastes like it should or what you would expect. As well as the mint. But I'm not a mint kind of guy so I won't be keeping the mint. Anyway. I consider these three PERFECTLY SUITED FOR WOMEN OR NEW SNUSERS or for when you want a little nic kick right away and you have a time limit like when you will be eating shortly.

                Anyway, I think these Nortic products will fit the bill for alot of people that simply can't tolerate the pure tobacco tastine snus.


                Oh and the flavor seems to last an incredibly long time for a mini snus. A superior product than the camel dung.
                Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                  So you got the Nordic Ice, and not the Klondike?

                      Maybe, I just had a bad tin, but the Klondike Cherry I had was drier than a popcorn fart. :roll:
