Review: Roda Lacket

Ever since I began using snus I have wanted to try Roda Lacket. I'm not the biggest fan of bold tobacco flavoured snus, like General original, but I still go back to basics every now and then. Roda Lacket is white portion tobacco snus with hints of dried fruit, so i was curious to see how it would compare to the citrus and pepper of General original white portion.

Appearance The can is simple, classic and kinda sexy. The gold type bounces off the bright red background. It has your standard catch lid, and when you first you get that gorgeous star arrangement of the portion!

Smell The smell, like the appearance of the can, is simple. not a whole lot is going on, which isn't a bad thing. Just tobacco with notes of sweet fruit in the background. I would say a much more pleasant and muted aroma that other non flavored snus, where the salt and/or lemon is like a punch to the throat. I was really excited to find out what it tasted like! Taste The white portion was a bit dry to start out and i didn't get a lot of flavour. But after a few minutes the flavour began to creep it's way out. It is a mild salty tobacco with hints of berries or dried cherries. It very tasty and a perfect everyday snus. I used a portion at work one morning and the taste lasted about 3 hours. I could totally use this one everyday if I had easy access to buying more. There is barley no drip to speak of, which is a plus, nothing is worse than working in the heat and having to swallow a big gulp of snus run off. It's not salty either, another plus. Again working outside in a stuffy aircraft you don't want to have a salty portion drying out your mouth. I would say Roda Lacket is a good year round snus, but I can see using it more in the Fall and into winter. It goes well with a mug of coffee and I bet even better with a cup of grey or black tea.

Overall Overall I really am enjoying Roda Laket. Like the can it's self, this snus is elegant and simple. Nothing fancy but wonderful still. I prefer this over General original white hands down. The flavour is very mild but good and I can see it pairing well with many different teas and Autumn baked goods. Score: 3.5 out of 5 catch lids
