Review: Elixyr Peppermint Snus

Elixyr Peppermint Snus - Used with permission from BuySnus.com

I was little nervous about trying this snus, the few reviews I’d read about it were not good. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Even before opening the can there was a very strong smell of peppermint, almost like gum, or toothpaste. I nervously popped portion into my mouth, expecting a burning peppermint sensation, but was treated to a very balanced flavor. The peppermint is not so overwhelming that it’s unpleasant, it’s actually quite refreshing. I was surprised to find that you could still taste the tobacco through the peppermint, and the two flavors which I would not have expected to mix well, actually complement each other quite nicely. This snus has a very strong nic hit, certainly not something like a Sterk or extra Sterk, but still strong. The other great thing about this snus is that the flavor is very long-lasting. It wasn’t uncommon for me have a portion in my mouth for 90 minutes or more. All in all this is a very good snus. I don’t know that I would buy entire rolls of it, or that it would be the only snus I would use until the can was empty, but it is good for changing things up during the day. The sweetness of this snus makes an excellent after meal treat, and for people who like mint, but don’t want to be overwhelmed by it, this is a snus for you.
