An honest review of Jakobsson's Ultra Strong Wild Mint "Chew Bags"

G'day, all!

Donny Credo with snuslords.com here. It's been a while since the last review we published. (sorry!) But now, after all that palaver, here we are! And today we're looking Jakobsson's Ultra Strong Wild Mint "Chew Bags". (Yes, I will be doing that thing with quotations around "Chew Bags" for the whole review - read on to learn why) Now before we begin, I do need to disclose the fact that I am going to be extremely biased on this review. As after only 3 days using this snus, I have found my new daily driver. This stuff is sincerely tasty, with a lovely strong nicotine kick to boot! Now let's get on with this shit! Now something we've all agreed on at the office here is that Sisu Extreme White Dry is the best snus we've ever had, but that was before we ordered this Jakobsson's. We were on the prowl for new snus and found this stuff at our usual supplier, taxfreesnus.com for an extremely modest €34.90 (at time of purchase) for a log of ten cans. Not bad going. A little more than our usual Sisu, but still only about £3.10 a can (at current exchange rate) so about 15p per portion with 20 in a can.

Moving on from price, we got our delivery. This is something we need to talk about. Being British, or living in England, purchase of snus on British soil (or EU soil for that matter) is illegal. So, to circumvent this, we use the guys over at Tax Free Snus as they are based in Andorra on the European continent, so delivery of goods is always fast and safe, but outside of the EU so we can legally import from them. After we've gone around the legality of importing from them, we get to the delivery itself. Usually, if you buy off someone based in the UK who travels to and from Sweden a lot, you'll get 10 cans dumped in a padded envelope then left at the local post office. But with tax free, you get your standard padded envelope with two logs of 5 in it, still in the plastic shrink wrap from the manufacturer delivered in 3-6 working days for mainland England. Although this may seem like a small thing to many of our readers, this is a big step in the right direction and is a much appreciated, thoughtful step on their behalf which we love, and is just one of the many reasons we'll keep using Tax Free Snus for the foreseeable future. After you get your logs out of your envelope, you get to the cans. Following from our previous review, it's nice to see the spent tray back in its rightful place on the top of the can, but with a really nice little nautical pattern on the top of the can looking like a little compass! (See below)

After marveling at the lovely design on top of the can, we crack open the cans and are greeted by two immediate things. Firstly, the expected, classic, moist brown portions we all love here. But the second thing jumps out at us straight away - take a look at the pic below and see if you can figure it out…
