Göteborgs Rapé Loose Snus

Our Göteborgs Rapé, Loose Review

Göteborgs Rapé loose snus is a coarse ground snus made by Swedish Match in Gothenburg, Sweden. Göteborg’s Rapé loose’s grind is classified as a fine type meaning that the tobacco pieces are a bit smaller than the medium grind type. This leaves the surface area of each piece smaller and a little harder to hand mold into a prilla. Also, finer ground snus tends to hold a prilla’s shape longer if you use a tool to shape it. The prilla we tested was made with a 3 ml tool and kept its shape for about 2 hours before it began to fall apart. A hand shaped prilla lasted for about 1 ½ hours but the flavor lasted just as long with no signs of stopping! Each can of Göteborg’s Rapé 48 grams of snus and a Nicotine content of 8 mg per gram. The can is made of the same paperboard that Swedish Match uses for all its loose snus with a thin layer of food grade paraffin wax to hold the moisture and flavors in. The lid is made from gold colored plastic and seals well with the bottom but, you’re here for the flavor, not the can so, on to the flavor! Göteborg’s Rapé loose’s flavor is quite distinct with its unique mix of full flavored tobaccos from around the world, salt and Juniper berries that gives the snus a slight sweetness! Juniper berries, as you may or may not know, are what give gin its distinct flavor but when used in snus, the flavor is lighter and gives off a subtle sweetness and a slight peppery taste. Sometimes, the Juniper in Göteborg’s Rapé is mistaken for citrus by those who don’t drink gin but we’ll let you decide which flavor you taste! So, why not add a can or two of Göteborg’s Rapé loose snus in your next order and let us know what you think? Be sure to add your thoughts by writing a review of your own! We’ll be looking forward to reading what you think!
