Göteborgs Rapé Original

Impressed

At first, like a few comments mention, the fruitiness/herbal nature of the tobacco threw me off. It was a very intense flavor at first but now I catch myself chain snusing this. I think it’s an acquired taste sort of thing, same with lös. Excellent snus though, very intense taste of juniper berries (reminds me of fruity pebbles actually). I would recommend this snus for people who are very attracted to rich tobacco flavors, since this snus packs a lot of delicious flavor.

Update

My original post only gave 3 stars, this is a 5 star snus, no two ways about it. I love this stuff, it keeps me off the smokes so that's a gold in my book!

Very unique flavor

Not going to lie, initially I wasn’t a fan of this snus. Im used to general flavored snus, so this one caught me off guard. It has a very herbal piney taste, it grew on me. Now I crave this snus, and it’s one of my favorites.

Excellent

I was hesitant on purchasing this snus worried it would have an overpowering fruit flavor, not at all. This snus is excellent, nice and moist original large portions, the portion material is very soft on the gums with no irritation that I've noticed. A medium drip which is great, lasts right at the 45 minute mark as far as flavor and nicotine. The flavor is the big hitter on this one, I get a little bit of citrus with a rich full flavored tobacco in the background, but still very present, and the juniper is the star player in this snus which I thought would get old.. not at all, I've reached for can after can of this over my usual general extra strong, not to say itll replace that snus but its definitely going to be ordered by the rolls in my future orders. If you're asking yourself "should I buy this snus?" The answer is yes, buy a roll of it minimum, you will not be disappointed.

My favorite Rapé

Have tried all of the GR formats and this is my favorite. The Lös is solid, and I usually like Lös versions more from the other snus I enjoy but for GR, original portion format will be what I buy rolls of to rotate with the tobacco-centric varieties I enjoy.

A very nice snus, flavor is mild. I dont really get any sweetness. I love it and it will always have a place in my rotation.

It’s Okay

The flavor is okay. It is very mellow and flattens out quickly. The nicotine is average and the portion was rather dry for not being white. It’s okay, but not my a favorite of mine.

My go to

Hands down my favorite snus! Very nice and and flavorful without being overpowering. I wish my palate was a bit more sophisticated to pick out all the notes but it really is just a nice all day snus. Will definitely pick up every order

Amazing snus

This instantly became my favorite all-day snus. Amazing flavor with a very balanced nicotine hit.

Curiously complex

I'm so use to bergamot forward snus, that this one confused me at first. I use a lot of general original, and I feel that it's a good baseline. But GR is so unique, it can't be compared to anything else. It's like a whole spice rack in your mouth, followed by a shot of very aromatic gin. I had a portion of this after eating some grilled tuna last night, and it was extremely satisfying. I actually bought a bottle of tanquray and tried it with a few cocktails, it was amazing. This is now my snus for drink night. This snus is on its own planet, definitely worth buying a roll.

My Favorite Original Portion So Far...

I'm very new to Swedish Snus, so I've been trying a lot of different kinds. So far, the GR is my favorite regular portion.

It has a very nice, complex herbal flavor to it. I definitely enjoy the juniper flavor, which is fairly prominent. GR also tastes exceptionally good straight out of the fridge, nice and cold. The cooler temperatures seem to really work well with this flavor profile.

Also, I enjoy trying to pronounce the name of this snus. YO-te-borg's Rah-PAY! Thanks to snus, I've not only gone 2 weeks without a cigarette, but I'm learning Swedish too!

Premium

I will be getting a roll of these with my next order. This snus is premium. Not offensive in the slightest, I could smell it all day. I really like this snus.

Wonderful peppery snus with long legs

Göteborgs snuses have earned their place in my top selections, and for good reason. They have everything I'm after—pleasant aroma, bold flavors with excellent longevity. Their latest offering, which I understand is a comeback from years past, continues to wave that winning flag.

White pepper and bergamot scents upon opening the can. Dark, large portions, moist to the touch.

Immediate flavors when placed under the lip, released in a slow, pleasant drip. No waiting for it to rev up. Comfortable under the lip and most discreet when positioned towards the back—under the front lip, it protrudes a bit too much, if that's an issue for you. Portion material is soft and smooth enough to avoid irritation.

White pepper and maduro-like cigar tobacco dominate early on, enhanced with moderate salt. Juniper takes more of a backseat at this early stage. The tobacco truly is its best feature, and if you prefer less bergamot to your snus, this is a great choice. Somewhat reminds me of Grov, with its heavier tobacco hand, though it's more complex than Grov due to the supportive herbal character.

Longevity is excellent, after about 30 minutes the juniper comes forward more as the tobacco softens. Flavor lasts about an hour or more, depending. I've found that the drier my mouth, the longer the flavors hang on. Obviously. :)

Nicotine burn is minimal and quite comfortable. No throat or stomach irritation, to which I'm highly sensitive. Nicotine delivery is steady and easy, making for an enjoyable ride.

The concentration of flavors in this original, large size makes for a versatile portion—if I want a lower nic hit, I'll cut one of these in half with no compromise in flavor intensity. It's that good.

Overall, I highly recommend this can to be added to your next order, especially if you're already a fan of Göteborgs Rapé, Grov, Ettan or even Röda Lacket. Its boldness might be too much for a new snus user, but I still recommend snatching a can to try every so often as your palate evolves...

Must tey the white again

Haven't tried the white GR since I first got into snus 8 years ago, so cannot really compare, but this snus is very hard to describe. Floral? yes. Fruity? Sure. The junniper is not as piney as in Gin, and the taste is actually very pleasant of hard to describe. I get no soapiness mentioned of the GR white.
