A Snus Review of a Unique Snus Collection! Catch Chill Mint Vanilla mini portion snus

Welcome back fellow Snus Lovers!

Today I thought we’d review a brand new Swedish Snus to the snus world, Catch Chill Mint Vanilla mini portion. I decided to review this snus for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a new snus flavor and a unique snus at that, but the main reason is that I’ve never had a mini snus and figured it was about time that I did!

The reason I picked Catch Chill Mint Vanilla mini portion as the snus mini to review is because of the unique way this snus will be portrayed over the year. You see, Catch Chill’s flavors will change 4 times throughout the year!

Mint Vanilla will be the first flavor introduced and around April, the flavor will change to Peppermint and the Mint Vanilla will be discontinued. This will continue approximately every three months until the end of the year. So since we only have until April, let’s review Catch Chill Mint Vanilla mini portion!

Before we begin though, let’s review what a mini portion is. Mini portions are just what the name implies, a mini version of a regular sized portion. Mini portions tend to be about half the physical size of a regular portion. This also means there is less tobacco andnicotine in the portion as well. Mini portions tend to have between .3 grams and .5 grams of snus in each portion and, on average, 20 portions per can. The Nicotine levels vary between 3 mg and 6 mg per portion. There are even some that are classified as White Mini portions.

Since mini portion snus is smaller, they are also more discreet. They don’t leave the tell tale lump under the lip like larger portions can so they’re great for work or for you snus lovers that want to conceal their love of snus! You can also smile without worrying if portion material is showing. Now that everybody has a basic idea of what a mini portion is, let’s go on to the review!

Catch Chill Mint Vanilla mini portion snus is, in fact, a “White” mini portion snus. “Hey Snus Guy, good thing you explained this in the beginning. It sounds like it could get pretty confusing!” I know! When I first saw Mint Vanilla and the way it was described I got confused as well. I figured I’d better simplify it so no one gets confused like I did.

First, let’s take a look at the portion. Catch Chill has 20, .5 gram, portions per can. Each portion has 4 mg of Nicotine and the portions are of the White type. White type meaning it hasn’t gone through the additional wetting process and the portion is well…white!

The portion material is pretty soft for a White portion and really easy on the gums. Since this snus has 50% moisture content, the flavor begins to flow pretty quickly and due to the portions size, actually stays put. Like I said, the portion material is pretty soft and comfortable. I’ve had a portion in for up to an hour with no irritation to speak of.

That takes us to flavor!  Catch Chill Mint Vanilla is marketed as “A fresh Mint breeze and Vanilla dreams.” Catch Chill definitely has a Vanilla/Mint taste but I compare it to a Mint M&M or a Mint flavored chocolate candy that’s commonly found on pillows in fancy hotels! Andes Mints I think they’re called. There is also a subtle hint of tobacco flavor but, it plays in the background and is just barely noticeable.

The flavor lasts quite a long time for a mini as well! I’ve had a portion in for about an hour before the flavor begins to die out. After that, the portion can become a bit weird tasting so I recommend a 45 minute maximum time limit.

I put a picture of the can on the left so you can get a better idea of what I’m about to explain next. Even though Swedish Match doesn’t say that they created Catch Chill Mint Vanilla with women in mind, (This would make sense though since a large percentage of snus users in Sweden are women!) the design of the can and, subtle flavors make this a snus that more female snus lovers may like than male ones. On a personal note, I like the flavor and I’m a guy!

Now, what to drink? With Diet Coke, you get a bit of Vanilla Coke flavor but the Diet Coke tends to be a bit overpowering. Iced tea is pretty good but coffee is the best! A portion of Catch Chill Mint Vanilla with your morning coffee and you don’t need the flavored creamer! Coffee brings the Vanilla out and creates a chocolate type of taste even though there is no chocolate flavor added. Hot tea would be good but I really recommend coffee.

Overall, Catch Chill Mint Vanilla mini portion snus is a great tasting snus. Like I said before, more female snus lovers will like Catch Chill than male ones. My recommendation for Catch Chill is this: Snus lovers that are looking for a replacement for Vertigo or ones that would like a refreshing new taste with a lower Nicotine content should definitely get a few cans. Snus lovers that are into new flavors but are used to Nicotine content above 8mg may want to try a can as well. Just remember that there is only 4 mg of Nicotine in Catch Chill Mint Vanilla so, get it for the taste!
