Discreet Snus |
|
Manufacturer: American Smokeless Tobacco Brand: Discreet Submitted by: Admin Product Description: American Smokeless Tobacco offers a unique snus called Discreet. Discreet is pasteurized and owns their own pasteurization equipment. They also grow their own tobacco. Discreet come as .5 gram mini-portions and are available in five flavors: Wintergreen, Cool Mint, Full Flavor, Peach, and Strawberry. All Discreet Snus's are made to Food Quality Standards, as the company, seeing future FDA regulation requiring this, decided why wait? Each portion of Discreet has a TSNA level of 2.8mg/g as well. This is well within GothiaTek limits for TSNA's but Discreet Snus is a little higher than some others because of the quality of the tobacco they use. Discreet Snus comes uniquely packaged in a re-sealable zip-lock pouch; each containing 10 portions. Designed as a "when you can't smoke, snus" product, the pouch makes it easier to carry both cigarettes and snus. The intensity of taste and aroma is aimed squarely at the potential American consumer intentionally. |

Date added: 27.8.2009 I have tried all of these except the Strawberry, only because I am allergic to Strawberries and I am not sure if real ones might have been used to flavor this snus. (Not willing to take that risk.)
I have to agree with xxchixorxx's assessment on May 31, 2009. Many times I found myself slipping in one of these snus instead of having dessert. It was a nice way to curb my craving for something sweet and nicotine at the same time. Granted they are not very strong but they are enough for me. I also found during this time I lost weight. So you go ahead and have that slice of peach cobbler... I will slip in my peach snus and enjoy staying on my diet. Oh man! If Discreet made regular sized portion I would be overjoyed. Their Full flavor is a guilty pleasure of mine. I hop down to the tobacco shop and buy a couple packets every so often. Mmmm I just love tobacco with sugar.
I'd love to get my hands on a few cans of regular sized Full Flavor Discreet. I got the emerald ice for 99 cents and after a few minutes it gave me the same headache as i got with American camel snus after using Swedish snus for a while, i am guessing this company makes it with the same additives as American camel snus, something i will never use again!
The Full Flavor is the worst snus I ever had in my life. No wonder he didn't give you that one to try. It tastes like really low grade cheap non-flavored dip. NOTHING like other non-flavored snus brands.
Makes me wonder about the quality of tobacco they use. The other ones taste great but now I just think it is great flavoring over a horrid cheap tobacco because of the crappy full flavor version of Discreet. I've tried all 5 flavors, and I'll say this...... while I would love a good sweet snus, this ain't it. Too much saccharine for me.
I received a sampler pack in the mail today from American Smokeless Tobacco. I have one of the strawberry portions in right now, and I must say the flavor is decent.
Being a former smoker and now a Swedish snus user, if I ever saw Discreet sold in stores I would buy it. It is a nice change of pace for me, I just wish the portions were a bit bigger and they had lös. Well i got my free packets of discreet today. they sent me 2 peach, 2 of the green and 2 of the blue ones. They're the best american snus yet. the peach flavor is very overpowering but realistic, and they have a nice little burn to them. i didnt know if they were to be refrigerated so i did anyways to err on the side of caution. cant wait to see them readily available at grocery stores etc.
No, I don't work for them Chris :-) I do also like the General Mini Mint myself, but I was impressed with the Discreet being made in America and being as good as it is. I like the Camel Frost though! Me and my sweet tooth just can't resist those sweet flavors sometimes, hehe.
No offense Sheila, but you don't work for Discreet do you? :-) You may want to try the General Mini Mint against the Emerald Ice. Kicks Camel Frosts rear end.
I have tried 4 of the flavors of Discreet Snus and they all are excellent. I am partial to the minty flavors since I previously had smoked menthol cigarettes, but the fruit flavors are great too. They are a mini-sized pouch so they are totally invisible when you use them. The resealable bag is also very convenient and makes it easy to take them anyplace. So here's my opinion on the flavors I have tried.
Strawberry:[/b]This one was simply delicious. I had never tasted a fruit flavored snus before and was pleasantly surprised that the taste was enough to be able to tell that it was strawberry. It's nicely balanced and not too sweet nor too salty. The strawberry flavor comes through perfectly. [b]Peach:[/b]: The other fruity one from Discreet and also a winner. I had no clue what to expect with this one, but again, there was no disappointment! A nice peach tone to it that mixed well with the tobacco flavor. A great addition to his line of snus. [b] Emerald Ice:[/b]This one is the closest to a Camel Frost snus than anything I've tried. It has a wintergreen-y flavor and is not overly sweet like the Camels. It is refreshing and has no burn when you place it in your mouth. Simply put, it's awesome, especially if you like the Camel Frost or the General Wintergreen and wanted something a little less sweet. [b]Cool Mint: This one has to be the favorite of mine, hands down. It has a great minty flavor and is perfect for after a meal and any other time you want a nice little blast of minty goodness. It's an outstanding addition to their line of snus. This is one brand of snus that I hope gets the attention it deserves. I only tried the peach flavored Discreet Snus so far. Compared to other American Snus, I found the pouch comfortable in my mouth although as a long-time Swedish Snus user, the peach was too mild for my liking.
Also having stopped cigarettes altogether in favor of Scandinavian snus, I found the nicotine level too low to satisfy my addiction. That being said, for an American cigarette smoker looking to ease into snus, this product would probably be very successful. I'm planning a more detailed review for the future. |
