    Yeah it's not a bad snus at all. To me it tastes like figs or like red man loose leaf but not as sweet.

      I like it. I think it has a black tea taste to it.

        It's definitely worth a try. It has some similarities with Gotland Gul and Montecristo. I don't like it as well as Gotland, but it's a good snus.

            I highly recommend Taboca - it's one of my favorites. The fig flavor is unlike any other snus out there - slightly sour, mildly sweet, the flavors really stand out and keep you coming back for more.

            Plus, the can is extremely useful. I use the empty can in a similar fashion to the IceTool portion can. I inserted two cut pieces of cardboard, crosswise, to separate different portions so the flavors don't mix. That way, I can take what portions I need for the day and leave the rest in the fridge. The only can I'll take with me is Thunder Frosted. The mint aroma tends to overpower everything else in the can.

              I'm not all that thrilled with it. Just got my first tin of it a couple weeks ago. Tried it 5-6 times- los that is.

              My palate isn't all that sophisticated so bear with me here...

              It's got that bergamot or whatever flavor to it - reminds me of Gots Rape (another of which I'm not all that fond) or Gotslands Yellow. And I'm not tasting the fig as others have mentioned.

              Just a personal taste mind you. I think if you like that sort of flavor in general then you'll probably like this as well.

              I think it's a good snus, just not the flavor I like.

                First time I tried it, it reminded me of upholstery cleaner. I stuck with it, and now it's great!

                  The Taboca is almost the exact same recipe as the Montecristo; biggest difference being the 5% Cuban tobacco in the Monte. If you haven't tried Taboca yet, you should.

                    Nothing ever tastes like its supposed to to me.

                    Grov black = rye bread.
                    Offroad cranberry = chocolate raspberry.
                    Thunder blue = antifreeze.
                    Skruf Tranbar = sugarfree gum.
                    Gotland Flader actually tastes floral (as advertised) to me, not the apple I'm always hearing it tastes like.

                    With that in mind, I really like Taboca but I don't taste the figs at all. It reminds me of Discreet orange with more tobacco flavor and less sweetness. I definitely get a lot of citrus from it but more orange than bergamot. Good stuff, regardless.

                      I actually tasted more pumpernickel with the Grov black, no chocolate raspberry at all in the Offroad Cranberry or I'd like it more than I do, get the Windex from the Thunder Blue, not sure what with the Skruf Tranber but it doesn't taste like cranberry to me, and the Got Flader tastes like a boquet of flowers mixed with some of that Dollar Store perfume sprayed on it.
