While it’s easy to go to a local shop to buy snus, the lack of selection can make this a frustrating experience.

This blog details why it’s a better option to buy snus online — along with guidance for choosing the right brand and product.

Ace X is a relatively new line of nicotine pouches by Ministry of Snus in Denmark. Ace X is a stronger variation of Ace Nicotine Pouches – coming in at 16mg/g of nicotine! There are two versions of this one – Ace X Cosmic, which has the large/full sized pouches, and Ace X Cool Mint Slim, the one we are talking about today. As opposed to the other one, this one has discrete, slim sized nicotine pouches. The Ace line is a high quality line that has grown in popularity over the past several years, and this one is the latest addition to their solid reputation.

This is an interesting snus. About 13 years ago when I first discovered Swedish Snus, one of the first products I tried was Göteborgs Rapé White Portion. For some reason, I didn’t really enjoy it. However, when I tried Göteborgs Rapé Lingon, I loved it! I used this snus a lot in the early days, but now I use the regular GR more often. But, this has always been a special snus for me. It’s one that I think is quite underrated, because I don’t hear it discussed as often as it should be in the snus community. If you’re an American and reading this and don’t know what lingonberry is, go to your local IHOP and get some Swedish Crepes. They’re delicious. Now, on to the review!

Göteborgs Rapé is such an interesting snus to me. Back when I first started using snus in 2009, it was one of the first ones I tried out. I wasn’t a fan. For some reason in 2013, I tried it again and fell in love with it. Now, I use it every single day. It’s my #2 favorite right behind General. GR is one of the classic, traditional snus products going back to the STM days. It has a unique flavor, but one that is enjoyable for all day use. It’s gentle, but not lacking. It is very unique, and stands apart from other snus products on the market. The XRANGE version, XRANGE Göteborgs Rapé Slim, we’re talking about today is a cheaper version of the classic Göteborgs Rapé White Large, but with slim portions, which I think make a great product even better!

Jakobsson’s is a popular brand of snus produced by Gotlandssnus (owned by Swedish Match). The Jakobsson’s brand has high quality Swedish Snus products, but with flavors geared more towards the American flavor profile. That means you’ll find sweeter flavors, with elevated nicotine strengths around the strong level. Jakobsson’s Melon is one that has been around for many years, and has proven to be a fan favorite, especially amongst American snus consumers.

It’s been about 7 years since Swedish Match launched the XRANGE series, and it has grown to become one of the most popular brands around. XRANGE offers the premium products such as General, Catch, and Göteborgs Rapé, but at a cheaper price. You still get the same high quality snus, but with less cost. In the XRANGE series there are three General variants: Slim Original, Slim White, and the one we are talking about today – Slim White Strong!
