I am always looking for a new taste of snus and was ordering my usual stuff from buysnus and ordered a can of ELIXYR, the one with caffeine and taurine blended into the tobacco.
I was excited to try a snus that would also give me a jump start in the morning. When the package arrived it was the first one to be opened. At first the smell was good and the taste was ok. One of the portions had been damaged at the factory so there were little bits of snus in the can. Kinda messy. It seems that the caffeine and taurine was added to the tobacco at the last second or maybe even after it was in the portion pouch. Because of this, there is condensation on the inside of the can. Not so attractive.
Anyway, the taste starts out ok. Nothing like a premium snus like ettan or Skruf. More like a discount portion snus. Once you start to get the juices flowing it becomes terrible. The chemicals over power the snus and I can hardly keep it in without puking. I have a sensitive pallet so it could be different for you.
I took good care of this can and always kept it in the fridge and out of the sun and heat. I keep it inside my breast pocket of my snowboard jacket when riding so I'm pretty sure it never warmed up. Perhaps they expect you to consume the contents rapidly. I took my time and it seemed to spoil fast.
My can now has 13 pouches still in it. When you open it, the snus smells like ammonia or cat piss with a hint of black dirt. It really smells bad and I don't dare try any more of it.
If you snus a lot and expect to consume it quickly it may be different for you. I wouldn't suggest this snus to anybody I didn't dislike.
The tin is cheap plastic that can open up when you take a fall snowboarding and the top lid for discarded snus also pops off easy. I was not stoked to see a half portion that had been cut in a machine inside my tin. The residue was all over the other portions and may have started the smell?
This snus sucks in my opinion. It didn't give me much of a nicotine, caffeine or taurine buzz like I had expected.
What do you guys think about it?
