I remember trying this as a beginner. I came from Camel snus, so any of the Swedish brands were like gold. I never liked this one, however. I believe it was due to the herbal taste; it overwhelmed me. While I didn't enjoy it, by no means is it a bad snus; the flavor just wasn't for me. It definitely was different from everything else I've tried, though.

There is a reason why they only make this brand in white portions and not original. The flavor is perfect for white portions. Has a perfect blend of herbal flavors that remind you of tea and white wine. A lot of people can't get used to it because it lacks that robust tobacco flavor. Keep in mind that GR is not meant to be like Grov or General. It's meant to be gentle and somewhat "tarty". It's one of my personal favorites. The best white portion from Swedish match alongside General white. It's meant to go along with tea, not coffee (in order to paint a better picture of the flavor profile). A great everyday snus in my opinion.

This is the snus brand I use the most. This is really my favourite. The main thing is the "forest" taste but also the saltiness.

Initially I did not care for this, but like all good things, it simply took a bit of getting used to. It is in my top five of favorite snus, and I would definitely order more in the future. There are a lot of comments on juniper and other flavors, but I don't really taste anything except the tobacco and the salt, and those are both in good proportion in these.

It did take me quite a while to warm up to this snus. As a former smoker & chewing tobacco user, I didn't have much of a palette for floral-flavored snus. However, now that I've stopped smoking, the nuances of this snus are more apparent.

It is strictly a "drinking snus" for me; not alcohol, but flavored beverages. For example, it goes wonderfully well with variants of earl grey tea -- the bergamot in the tea complements the juniper berry in this snus, and makes for an extra tasty tea break.

I only pick up a tin of this snus from time to time for those drinking pleasures, but do not prefer it as a daily snus. I'll give it four out of five stars for this sake.

I gotta agree with everybody on this one. Its really hard to describe the taste...its herbal, with a hint of sweetness and tobacco. I really have never tasted juniper so i don't know if that's a flavor Im getting...Very good snus tho, a nice throughout the day portion. All I can say is if you wanna try something different, don't pay attention to the description...if I did I woulda never tried em..Try a can you wont be disappointed. The pouch material is extremely comfortable and you forget its even there after a half hour. Not one of my favorites but every now and then Ill order a can for a change of pace.

It's hard to really gauge a flavor such as this. Just saying herbs is not really adequate, as there are many different herbs that could be used.

And now to add to my own contradiction, I think that the herbs come through more than the juniper with a nice sweet tobacco base. I think it depends on the person as to which flavor is stronger.

As for the Göteborgs Rapé it's very herbal and juniper (I think) taste at first! Slowly it changes into a light (a bit acidic?) juniper and tobacco taste.

I'm not sure about the nicotine content but it's not very strong nicotine content.

I really like the packaging because it's very simple and nice in the can; it looks much nicer in the box than other portions. It provides taste for a long time. Nice for when you don't want a really strong snus but want a bit of flavor. :)

I received a tin of this in my Snuscentral.com "Bag O' Snus", and I'm glad I did. Being new to Swedish snus, the first time I tried one of these, I couldn't help but think "this is tobacco?." It really has a strong, though very good herbal/flowery flavor, but rest assured, it's tobacco.

I alternate between this and Jakobsson's regular portion, which is also good (though stronger). I was hesitant at first, but after using this for a few days and running out, I've found myself ordering more. Sorry to say all I've got now is the smell of the tin

Goteborgs Rape' is an excellent snus with a herbal/flowery (not overpowering) and tobacco taste. It's definitely one of my favorites.

Göteborgs Rapé White Portion. This one takes some getting used to. The flavor comes on strong, and is best with a cup of coffee or a can of Monster.
