The pictures and reviews are forming waves of jealously throughout my body. I must stay away from this thread.

Mine arrived today as well. I'm about 30 minutes into my first pris, and really enjoying it.

I won't repeat what others have said as the recent reviews are smack on, but i will confirm that it's a beautiful smooth tobacco and rum taste with a powerful nicotine kick that comes on quickly.

I had thought the loose cut would make it hard to bake a pris, but it went together nicely (my first pris actually) and is staying together in my lip with no problem whatsoever.

Very nice indeed. I've put the box in my fridge for special occassions. Luckily, it's my birthday the day after tomorrow...

[EDIT] My first pris ended up falling apart at the 2 hour mark. The flavour was excellent all the way up there - and even seemed to be getting better as it broke up!

[chadizzy1]

This is something else. It's very good. The flavor of rum is very predominant, very rich. I'm an hour into my first pris of this, and I'm very happy. It packs a hell of a kick!

Here's some pics of the arrival.


The top of the box.


The little book that was on top, this one is in Swedish.


The handwritten number on mine. Mine is can number 184.


The bottom of the box, with Kardus etched/burned into the bottom. And the ugly warning label.


The beautiful box it came in.


A size comparison of the snus can itself. About the same size as 3 snus cans, but the snus in Kardus is loose and fluffy, so it may equate to about 1.5 or so cans of regular los snus.

im starting to wonder whats up with my northerner order. do they email you to let you know your preorders shipped? cause in the crazy northerner sale week i preordered a gotland julesnus and am kind of thinking between their million sales that week that ill either get forgotten about or they wont ship the free N&J black.

Go on to Northerner.com, Log in, Click the "Orders" area, and that order will list as "Pending" or "Shipped".

actually you need to hit details after orders to get all the way to the pending/ shipped status

Maybe even better than last year!

I didn't get my N&J Black. I'm not worried about it though. I have a hard time getting excited about portions.

word. id hate to make waves and complain, especially when they had to ship 1 can to me for free. still, the bonus can was a selling point in me making the impromptu order that i wouldve otherwise held off on. we'll see.

I got my Kardus today and thought I'd post some first impressions. The box is nicely made and looks and smells like cherry wood. It feels and smells like it has a natural finish of maybe flax oil, or some other natural oil. Nice fit and finish. The inside red can seals well and had an initialed seal over the top.

On opening, the rum and dark tobacco aromas were immediately noticeable. The cut is nice and I hand baked a pris in under a minute and had no trouble inserting it. It's pretty juicy and I recommend licking the hand after baking.

It has a distinctive flavor, but comes on subtly and lasts a long time. I went two hours this first time, but I think one could easily go three hours plus. The pris molded well to my gum in about ten minutes and stayed very solid until the end. The long cut is milder, but seems to release flavor longer. I would say it is a bit above average in nicotine. It felt like it was around 10 mg. a gram and it had a sustained, even hit.

The first flavors are hints of rum and pure tobacco. At about thirty minutes it really starts to shine and puts off micro-bursts of flavor. A little salt, sweetish hints of rum, a subtle nut flavor, a hint of cocoa, subtle hints of fruitiness, with an underlying flavor like good pipe or cigar tobacco smells. At times it reminded me of Roda Lacket, at others Knox, then it would change and take on a new combination that was all its own. It went well with red wine and is easy to drink with.

This is excellent snus, but it is milder and subtler than other snuses. People used to heavily flavored snuses might be hard-pressed to taste the subtle flavor profile. It is truly a pleasure to taste high grade tobacco with a good complementing rum. To heavily flavor tobacco this good would be blasphemous. My wife tried it as well and we give it two thumbs way up.
