(Fisrt review) Catch Collection: Time Square

This is my first snus review blog post ever, and let me first say that i love trying new snus. good or bad, new and original or old and traditional. I'll try anything once :) So a few day ago Chad over at www.Snubie.com sent me a wonder box full of snus for me to try and eventually review. When i looked at all of what i got i was drawn to all the mini's he gave me for some unknown reason. Catch's time square popped out at me first. the subtitle is "sweet and sour" and I was curious what a sour snus would be like. I cracked open the can and was delighted by what I smelled. Sweet, creamy pear! I love pears and this snus smells amazing. So on to the review.

Appearance The can itself is fun and colorful. It's fun, classy and causal. I really dig the small size of minis. I can put the can in my pocket, even in women's pant, which have very little pockets, and barley know it's there. I even was able to carry it around at work without worrying about it falling out or having someone see it (can't use tobacco while i'm working). It also has a nice little catch lid like all Swedish match products. Smell Like i mentioned before, the smell is divine! Hints of herbs and ginger with a burst of sweet creamy pear. I could seriously smell this snus all day. I found myself just opening the can to take whiff every now and then. Some snus i don't really care for the smell even if I like the taste, but not with this one. I wouldn't say the smell is super strong or over powering, but strong enough to let you know what the flavour might be like.

Taste and feel Now on to the important part, the taste. To be honest i wasn't sure what to expect taste wise with this snus. I kept thinking back to the "sweet and sour" on the can. It smells like pears but I got no hint of a sour or spicy smell. When i popped in my first portion i first got herbs and ginger with barley a trace of salt, which was good. I don't like salt heavy snus at all. The flavour of Time Square is very mild, which is no suprise since it is a mini portion after all. But pleasant nonetheless. After a few minutes of letting the white portion get moist what i had been waiting for came, the pear! Sweet, creamy, ripe pear. I had to kind of fish for the flavor, licking the portion every now and then to get more of the flavor to come out, but it is so good. after about an hour the herbs and ginger are pretty much gone from the mix, but the pear lingers. As the flavour dies I got hints of banana too. what a treat! This snus isn't strong at all but also goes great with a cold light beer. As so the nicotine hit, it's nothing to write home about, but it gets the job done, while at work i put two portions in, just to make sure I could make it through my whole shift. Like I said before I really like minis because I have a small mouth and most of the time if I have a regular portion in, when i talk or laugh you can see it peaking out by my teeth. With the minis i can put two portions in and you never see them, nor does it puff out my cheeks. The portion material is soft and doesn't get slimy, ever after having them in for a few hours. And like most white portions, this one takes a couple of minutes to get moist and release the flavor, which i prefer over original portions.

Overall Overall I love this snus. I wish catch would make a normal size of this one. The smell is so good, but i wish the flavour was stronger and lasted longer. The fit is great, when just one portion in i barley feel it there, and could probably forget i even have it in. This snus is a perfect summer treat that goes great with a fruity drink or smoothie or an ice cold lager. If you like pears you NEED to try this one out, the smell alone is worth it. I will be using this snus until the stop making it! Score Catch Collection: Time Square 4 out 5 Catch lids
