Catch Licorice White Portion snus has a mild tobacco character with a prominent taste of licorice. It comes in a white portion pouch meaning the portions did not go through an additional rewetting process. This makes them drier to the touch while moist inside and gives the pouches a whitish color.
Catch snus is made by Swedish Match, the largest Swedish snus producer in the world.
Licorice!
Snus newbie here, reviewing to log my initial mass sampler order.
It doesn't taste like something licorice flavoured, it tastes of licorice. Bit salty, finishes on the tobacco bitters, nicotine is a weak hit, perfect all-day option for me.
I'm trying out over 40 different tins to start and I've still managed to go thru half this one so far because I just keep coming back to it. Love me a mellow black licorice man.
Definitely buying a whole roll next time.
As good as it gets?
I'll preface the fair rating with it's actually the best of the bunch (of what I've tried thus far.)
Those being Offroad White Liq+, Kapten White Extra Strong, LD Salmiak Portion and White Portion.
All the above come in tasting relatively similar in flavor and flavor presence. And to be fair, it's all subtle. I feel this profile doesn't have a good medium.
Catch Licorice: It's predominantly licorice. Nice accompanying sweetness, rather subtle bitter passenger. I wish it was more!
The tobacco character must also be quite mellow in body as it doesn't show itself much at all. I am unsure if the licorice is simply overpowering or as a whole the continuity is just mellow
Overall: it's better than the aforementioned but is lacking in presence or depth of flavor.
A part of me strongly feels there is no present contrasting flavor to "pop."
I would rate and recommend #1 XRANGE Catch Raspberry Licorice: seems to hold a bolder bite of bitter played wonderfully with the sweet raspberry.
Starts getting bitter
These have a nice salty sweet licorice flavor at first and drip pretty slowly, but about 30 minutes the drip starts to get weirdly bitter. My first licorice snus so I’m not sure if they all do that...but these did for me.
Mediocre, or worse
I was expecting something sweeter. In my home town there are licorice plants that we used to pick and chew on as children. There's a little hint of saltiness before the sweet licorice flavor kicked in after chewing on the plant. This tobacco only offers that saltiness of the licorice but not the flavor of it. It did bring my back to my childhood, but as it wasn't what I wanted I have to rate this lower than 3. Otherwise, it's a 3. Pretty good to start with on account of its tobacco content.
Pretty good snus
The licorice is mild, but the tobacco is good and the flavor is long lasting. The General Classic Licorice and XRANGE General Salmiac suited my taste better for a licorice, but sadly they have been discontinued.
Let me start this review by saying that I am not a huge licorice fan, but Catch Licorice is pretty mild in terms of flavor. What I did not realize, is that tobacco mixed with a light licorice flavor can be pretty tasty. That is precisely what this tastes like. I had always thought that I would never like any licorice flavor on anything, but Catch has changed my mind. It made me want to try other snus with licorice flavor.
Not bad. Not fantastic. It could use more licorice and less salt. Tastes more like ouzo than sambuca. I don't hate it, it's just a bit of an acquired taste.
Had a mild Licorice flavor. Overall not bad. Had very very little tobacco flavor though. Good choice for those who like flavored snus
