Mocha Macchiato? Anyone try yet?

[fedora]

Just saw the Mocha Macchiato on BuySnus' site.

Has anyone tried it yet? Would be interested in reviews for all of us here.

I should have mine by Saturday or Monday. I'll let you know as soon as I get it!

I thought I had given up on Mocca snus..but I guess I'll be giving this a whirl. They are getting really fancy pants with some of these new can designs too!

I just added that to an order with 0102. I don't even like flavors but
can't help myself anymore.

Bat :twisted:

(Bump)

For all you guys getting theirs in Monday or Tuesday!

I just got my Macchiato today.

I'm not at my computer now but my first impression is that it really didn't taste like coffee too much.

Coffee is an incredibly hard flavor to copy and while this is pretty decent, I find it kinda meh.

I'll have my wife try it as she is a coffee nut

I just tried the macchiato today and was very pleasantly surprised! As I said before, I WAS not a Mocca fan until now. First of all, the can is probably one of the best! Awesome design and even happier it arrived, undented! On to the good stuff...the snus smells like, surprise, COFFEE! The scent is fairly 'quiet,' nothing like opening a fresh package of coffee beans. The taste is actually pretty sweet! To me it tasted like a cup of coffee with cream & sugar. I really liked it and would recommend this, especially to new swedish snus users who are turned off by salty snus. I'll definitely be ordering more!

Great review! I have this on the way and have read some conflicting things. Very much looking forward to checking this out. Thanks!!

Mocca Macchiato Review. 6 Oct 09.



Mocca is a line from Fiedler & Lundgren. In the past I've tried and reviewed 2 other of their products - Pomegranate and Mint. I wasn't a big fan of the mint, but I did greatly enjoy the Pomegranate. It had a great flavor. I was excited to hear about their newest release, Macchiato, and even more excited when I saw it arrive in the mail today with my Fellinni Mint.



Now, about Mocca Macchiato. Macchiato is an Italian word, meaning "marked". As a beverage, it is a shot (sometimes more than one shot) of espresso with foam on top. Alot of people do it differently, but that's traditionally how I've had mine prepared. Now, how does the snus compare? Opening a can of Mocca Macchiato is like opening a bag of coffee beans. Not ground, but pure coffee beans. A deep, robust aroma. Like the smell of a dark, roasted Italian coffee bean. It's not overpowering, but the smell is very pure and you can pick up the notes that make up the snus.

The portions are mini white portions, each containing 5mg of nicotine per portion. Also, they are quite dry, so pre-wetting is helpful. The flavor, surprisingly, is alot more mild than the aroma. That is not to say the flavor is weak, or lacking - because it isn't. But it isn't strong and overbearing - which to me is a good thing, because in my opinion - the best part of coffee is the aroma, the flavor is just an added bonus. Once the smell captures your senses and you start to enjoy the flavor, it's a beautiful ride from there on. The flavor, of course, has the taste of coffee, and is slightly sweet. It also has a mild salt flavor, which is very enjoyable. The slightly sweet taste of coffee blends very well with the mild salt flavor and provides a pure, but mellow flavor.

Mocca Macchiato is a great snus. F&L have made a great, new product to fill a void that many snus users have been asking for. A coffee flavored snus. But as with coffee flavored snus in the past (Offroad Coffee Vanilla) this is a limited edition, so enjoy it while you can.

Thanks Chad, excellent review. And thanks to the other reviewers, too.

I'm off to get me a can or two!

[RobsanX]

Good review Chad! To me the snus has equal tobacco and coffee flavor, and it's more like pipe tobacco than snus tobacco. Maybe it's because they are so dry...

[ddandb]

but is it as good as the now defunct Offroad Coffee Vanilla?
