G'day all! Donny Credo back again! Been a long time since I was behind the keyboard as I usually stick to the videos these days. Today, we're trying out a new format for the text reviews, where we are aiming to just provide a little bit of supplementary text for you to read while you have mine and Krister's dulcet tones playing on your speakers/headphones. So, without further ado, here we go! Today, we've had Nordic Spirit Spearmint Intense dropped off to us by the lovely chaps over at Niqopods.online in the mid strength (2 pips on the scale) or about 9 mg/g. The can looks pretty nice, plain matt white, nice and clean. Nordic Spirit branding, flavour name and strength indicator are all in a lovely teal blue kinda colour (one of my favourite shades too!). We didn't really touch on this in the video at all, but the catch tray is one of those slightly smaller ones, so for a nail biter such as myself, you do run into a couple of problems trying to open it. Regards to the scent, we were surprised, as Nordic Spirit in the past has had a tendency to suffer from a slight popcorn kernel sort of smell on the portion, not because of the contents necessarily, we thought it was the material the pouch was made of, but if you know why specifically, let us know! Back to the spearmint intense though, this stuff just smells like a nice, clean, somewhat sweet spearmint which is lovely! Really good clean smell, well done Nordic! With the taste, I found it wasn't particularly strong, just a slight minty flavour. However it does leave a pleasant coolness and sweetness on your tongue and in your mouth. That may sound like a negative, but I think its good, as there are too many intense, OTT mint flavours on the market that give a strong burn and big boost of flavour. We need more basic, session snus' that you can use all day and all evening. Another big thing is the nic level, sitting at a fairly low 9mg/g, this isn't something you're gonna burn out on at all, it'll keep you ticking on quite happily all day and evening, be it that you're having a few cheeky jars with the lads down the local, wining and dining the missus, at the movies or even at the office! All in all, a decent niqopod, I'll rate her at about a 6.5-7/10, though Krister likes it a little more than myself at 7-7.5/10. I think that its a great snus, but spearmint intense is a little misleading, the stronger version definitely can hold that title, but this is more of a plain "spearmint".
