SnusCentral's Larry Waters Reports!

Odens Extreme Swedish Snus series was the first snus to break the 20mg/gram nicotine content barrier; taking snus users from Extra Strong to Ultra Strong. As of this writing, the Extreme snus series by GN Tobacco (GNT) reigns as the highest nicotine Swedish snus available at 22mg nicotine per gram of snus.

I haven't discussed Odens Extreme except in passing until now for a few reasons. While high nicotine snus is very popular in Norway and the United States, EXTREME seemed more a novelty more than a trend. While the number of Strong and Extra Strong snus offerings has continued to grow across the market, GNT had remained a solo player in the Ultra Strong snus arena.

With Swedish Match releasing their first 20mg/gram nicotine snus; Lab Series 06, and V2 Tobacco's pending release of Thunder RAW Ultra Strong Frosted Snus, I've decided it was time to visit the super high nicotine Ultra Strong snuses personally.

This quest began in article Beyond Extra Strong which focused on why the Ultra Strong snuses needed to be broken out of the Extra Strong snus category It also focused on the lack of a common standard as to how the nicotine levels of portion snus are rated for consumers.
