Jakobsson's Classic

[tom502]

Is it just me, or is this just "not good"?

I have one in now, and tried one yesterday for the 1st time. And it's just not good. Bitter and high salt, and I don't get anything else.

Any fans of this here? Am I missing something?

I like it a lot, but I prefer Gotland Gul which has a similar flavor. Gotland snus does tend to be on the bitter side. Some people enjoy that, but those that don't, really don't :^D If you took Gotland Gul off the board, Jakobsson's Classic would be my favorite citrus based portion.

Citrus? Hmm, I am not getting that. I'll try and finish what I have(1 open, and 1 sealed), maybe it will change on me.

It leans more to the orange side as opposed to lemon like most snus is. It's also been described as having a beery taste, and I agree with that. I suspect they may use hops in the blend, but I don't know that for a fact.

Hate it, hate it hate it. Just way to bitter for me.

I like it now and then. It gets hard to finish the end of the can.

I detest the Ice Fruit though. :x

I really enjoy Jakobssons classic. If I have it with my morning coffee it reminds me of McD's breakfast with coffee and orange juice. Very tasty IMO.
Gul tastes cleaner, but I get more orange than lemon with Classic.
I wouldn't call the Gotlands line "acquired taste", but their flavors seem to be "like it or leave it". I have yet to meet a Gotlands flavor I don't like. But if it's not for you, it's not for you.

I just got my first can of it today, so I will try it tomorrow. I like orange flavors though.

I don't like it much....compared to Gotlands' other offerings. I do agree that Icefruit is a lot worse, though. Classic is a very occasional order for me, when I want to take a break from my regulars.

I received two cans of Classic in my very first snus order. Did I mention I hate licorice? It's a good snus, but the flavor for me was awful. Between those two and a can of Elixyr in that order almost ended my snussing before I even got stared. (Same order included 2 cans of Probe, another one I won't use again.) :roll: Thank G*D there was some Ettan in there.

I much prefer Gotlands brand snus over the Jakobbsons.

I was excited about Classic when it came out. I thought it was interesting when I tried it. Halfway through the first can it turned on me and I decided I couldn't finish it for love or money. This is the only snus of the general (small or large g) type that I can't stomach.

I just tried my first one today. The post about it tasting like McDonalds breakfast is true. I had it with coffee, and it was very good. It went sour after about 45 minutes, (which is how Icefruit is for me) but it was a decent run before that. Not an all day snus, but I could keep a can laying around for occasion.

As a follow up, I have found this actually gets better with usage. The first time, it seemed so salty and bitter. But then later I did another. It was almost like doing snus for the 1st time. It was better each time. I had one this morning with coffee, and it was not bad. Today I have exclusively used it. The high salt and bitterness has mellowed alot. I still am not getting any orange, but it's OK. I don't think I'd order it, but I think I'll use what I have. To me, it's better, OK, but it seemed I had to use a few in a row to get used to it. I have one in now.
