Looking for a SWEET licorice flavor snus

@Skell18, Why not, doesn’t hurt to give the Offroad licorice flavor a try. That apple was just so bad though, and I tried to google Offroad and found a lot of discussions on forums where a lot of people in general were hating really hard on that brand. That was after I tried the apple flavor, so I guess I was further turned off from it when I read all kinds of comments from people about how they disliked Offroad in general. @bigmick, Are you sure having a sweet licorice isn’t possible? I’ve hit quite a few sweet snuses that were REALLY good. Some I can name off the top of my head: Nick and Johnny Captain Yankee Nick and Johnny Crushed Ice Thunder Raspberry Jakobsson’s Melon Those were nice sweet tasting snuses that I found enjoyable, and all of them were not overly or sickeningly sweet or anything, so i’ll bet it must be possible to sweeten up the licorice flavor so that it’s like a lot of black licorice candy. I just tried looking up N&J Black Tarmac and you’re right, it’s discontinued. Would have loved to try that, because I am a big fan of the N&J line, I haven’t been disappointed by a single one of their flavors.

@bigmick‌ mate I love the salty liquorice! I normally don’t like liquorice but the salmiak! Love it! Must be the Nordic blood in me :wink:

@DopamineRush‌ off-road is a bit marmite, personally I don’t mind the apple. A lot of stark and extra stark snuses have liquorice in them, it’s liquorice root, which is naturally sweet so try one of those, general extra strong is my favourite, nick and Johnny original edge has the strongest tasting lakrits flavour. It doesn’t come on at first, it takes about 20-30 minutes to present itself, so try one of those too and see how you get on, FYI the don’t have any anise flavour, just the liquorice root flavour, which is perfect IMO.

Ctch lakris/lakrits/licorice. Its sweet as hell, its snus, and it tastes like licorice.

catch*, pardon my typo. Def worth a shot if you like sweet licorice, not strong in the nic department though, more of a treat in my opinion. Also, snus-types like general wintergreen etc is really hard to find here in the nordic countries, and therefore, I can hardly call it snus, not to mention it wasnt even made for the actual snus-market, but american dippers to win some customers. The snus-market here doesnt really change much at all. While you see general wintergreen in your grocery stores, we have the good old general original, and youd be on a lifelong quest to find wg. Offroad is really hard to come by here aswell, havent seen it in a norwegian store, nor swedish, def easier in Denmark. Danish snus is for some nasty reason seen as dirty snus around these parts =( anyway, try the catch snuses, loaded with flavor

I forgot about the catch! You can buy general wintergreen at snus2 in Gothenburg , I think it’s the only shop in swede that sells it as it was made for the US market. General wintergreen is wrong anyway! Although, if for some perverse reason it’s the only snus we could get here in the UK, I would buy it, as it’s snus, alas we can’t get any snus :frowning:

@DopamineRush‌ I said almost…it can be done but rarely and more rarely well. @Skell18‌ you’re odd. :wink: I forgot about Catch licorice. I’ve got it in my head Catch only comes in minis…No idea why. General Wintergreen is not snus. It’s available all around me. Abomination. The only wintergreen tobacco I tolerate is Odens, and then only if it’s free.

@Skell18‌ well, at least you can get snuff easily, thats hard here. Its funny how snus costs more over here than it does everywhere else. If theres a snus-type youd like to try, I could send it over to the uk by mail as a gift if you want to. You havent tried snus before you buy it in Sweden =D

I saw someone in the ‘Whatcha Chewin, Dippin, Snussin?’ thread post that they were using Thunder licorice. I am unaware that this even exists, and googling this lead me nowhere. What’s up with that?

V2 tobacco’s main website (http://www.v2tobacco.com/snus-products.php) doesn’t even list it in their catalogue.

Afaik thunder doesnt have licorice, offroad does, same maker

@Nikolaos‌ looks good, but not available here… must be why ive never had it.

It’s so strange that V2 wouldn’t have that on their catalogue. I was thinking maybe it was one of those one-time special limited production flavors that Thunder does come out with once in a while, but that doesn’t seem like it either if they are regularly selling it on mrsnuff.com. Interesting.

@DopamineRush‌ it’s chewing tobacco rather than snus and is primarily for he European market due to the snus ban so it won’t be in the snus catalogue.

@skell18, I noticed that on the picture of the can. The pouches are actually made for actually chewing on?

@DopamineRush‌ no you still use it like snus, no chewing tobacco should be chewed (except American chew), it’s the ultimate irony!

Well that’s the funny thing, CHEWING tobacco is loose leaf that is meant to be masticated gently. Dip is not chew, and nor is snus. Funny how they call these “chew bags”, hahah.

its cause of the snus-ban in EU, just a way to get around it by labeling it chew. Why snus is banned is beyond me.

@Rogue, it’s banned in the EU because of an axis of political bullshit. Axis 1: the cigarette industrial complex. Simply put, big cigarette companies would lose big profit if snus caught on. One might easily ask “but what if they switched to manufacturing snus to get in on the profit?”. Well, it’s not that simple and I can’t get into it right now without writing a gigantic post on it. They won’t do it for the same reason American cigarette companies in the 1970s destroyed and eliminated the safe cigarette that the cigarette company Liggett created in their R&D at the time. Its also the same reason why studies into American snus (Marlboro and Camel snus) by a few American universities determined that Marlboro and Camel were purposely making their snus under-strength, ‘disgusting’, and a put-off to smokers - they wanted to keep smokers on cigarettes. Axis 2: the anti-smoking movement. As well meaning as the anti-smoking movement is in reducing and eliminating cigarette use worldwide, they have unjustly attacked ALL FORMS OF TOBACCO and painted all forms of tobacco with the same brush. Hence why there is so much false propaganda out there about chew, dip, and even snus as being “really, really bad” and “even worse than cigarettes”. Really?! ‘even worse’? Not a shred of clinical evidence to support these claims. I do also believe that the anti-smoking movement is just as corrupt as the cigarette companies. You know the saying “if you can’t beat 'em, join 'em”? That’s what I firmly believe has happened with the anti-smoking movement and the cigarette companies. Circa the 1980s and 1990s, I think that because of the threat the anti-smoking movement posed to the cigarette companies, the cig companies with all their power, political influence, and infinite funds approached the anti-smoking crusaders and said to them “lets make a deal”. Enough said. Axis 3: politics. Politics. Politics. How many politicians have rallied behind some stupid movement/cause/slogan in order to gather more votes, popularity, and ultimately, power and money? This anti-snus crap with the EU has that written all over it. Not to mention I believe many politicans have cashed in on the same “deal” I mentioned above that they have possibly made with the anti-tobacco zealots. The anti-tobacco zealots want to project only two options to smokers: either quit smoking cold turkey (or with marginally effective NRT products), or continue smoking and die. No other alternatives allowed. Either option means only one thing: more cigarettes sold. NRT products have an average of a 16% success rate in getting smokers to quit. Snus has something like a 56% success rate. The former leads more smokers to fail quitting, and consequently keep smoking, and of course buying more cigarettes! Any time you want to know the real truth behind something, just follow the money.
