Göteborgs Rapé XRANGE Strong White Slim - Expert Review

Göteborgs Rapé is one of the older brands of Swedish Snus, going back to the early days of STM. It is one of the more popular brands on the market, but this is a relatively new product, Göteborgs Rapé XRANGE Strong White Slim. The XRANGE series is only a few years old, and this is one of the more recent additions to the series. XR is a cheaper line of snus compared to others, but it brings Swedish Match’s premium flavors with the same quality, and a lower price tag! There is also a regular strength version of this one in the XRANGE series, as well!

Product Specifics:

Can Weight: 16.8 grams
Portion Format: Slim White Portio
Portion Weight: 0.8 grams each
Nicotine (Total mg/g): 13.5mg/g
Nicotine %: 1.35%
Nicotine (mg/Portion): 11mg/pouch

Opening the can, you’ll notice the familiar smell of Göteborgs Rapé. The aroma of juniper is present, along with a gentle tone of citrus. It’s slightly herbal, and has a little floral sweetness to it. With the portions, you’ll notice they come in the Swedish Match Star Formation. They used to not, but this has been changed recently. I suggest fluffing them, and then they’re ready to go into the lip.

The portion material is slightly dry, but still soft. Under the lip, it’s comfortable, and has a gradual flavor release to it. The taste is top notch. GR has been one of my favorites for about a decade now. In the flavor, the juniper is front and center. Right behind it are herbal and floral notes, along with just a little bit of citrus. It tastes fantastic.

The nicotine strength on this one is stronger, yes. But not too strong. It feels just a little above the regular strength level. The flavor lasts quite a while, usually up to an hour!

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

Göteborgs Rapé is a great snus. It’s one with a unique flavor, but also a flavor you can use all day long. For many, this is the snus they use full time. In the XR range, you’ll find the classic taste of GR, but with a cheaper price tag. This is also the only strong variant of the GR flavor, making it one of a kind!

Snubie’s Opinion:

I love GR. Since 2013, it’s been a snus I use every single day. It’s not one I use full time, it’s one I classify as an “alternative” flavor and use a few of a day. It’s something I use to kind of mix my rotation up a bit. However, if I wasn’t as in love with General Snus as I am, this could easily be an all day snus for me!
