Göteborgs Rapé Loose is considered one of the kings of loose snus. Why? - because each pinch delivers a delicate yet spectacularly satisfying earthy tobacco flavor in combination with delicious notes of lavender and juniper, alongside subtle hints of oak and citrus. This product is regular strength with a nicotine content of 7.5 mg/g.

Since this is a loose snus product, the tobacco is not pre-portioned but ground into a clay-like mixture so that you can form your own portions. It has a high moisture content and is of the perfect consistency to easily bake into prillas of your desired shape and size. The moistness of this loose also benefits the nicotine and flavor release, which is exceptionally fast and onsets with impact.

Did you know that Rapé means ripping in French? Rapé is in the brand name because, in the past, tobacco was hand-ripped until it was the correct consistency. Göteborgs Rapé has a long history, dating back to 1850 when sailors would bring their snus blends to the ports of Sweden, one of which formed the blueprint for the recipe of this beloved brand.

My favorite snus

GR lives up to it's reputation and beyond.

I was a bit hesitant to try this as I have always had a great distaste for gin and that's been the only benchmark I've had on the flavor of juniper berries. However, the praise for this was so great that I felt I had to buy some and see. I'm very happy that I did so.

The flavor hits very quickly after putting in a prilla. The herbal hints pairing perfectly with the aromatic, dry, bitter flavor of the juniper berries, all over a full-bodied, high quality tobacco. There's nothing I've tried yet that could compare to how wonderful and palatable all those flavors are, how they complement and highlight each other for a strong, enjoyable snus.

I cannot recommend this enough!

Nice full tobacco flavor

As someone new to loose snus, I found this to be a good starting point. Hand baking for the first time was not overly difficult. The nicotine hits fast and isn't overwhelming. 
Flavor wise it showcases the flavor of the tobacco while having a subtle fruit&herbal undertone. 
Over all its very good and I see why it has stood the test of time.

In Its Own League

As you open the can you get a smell of quality tobacco and some whiffs of aromatic herbs and juniper. This is more rough cut snus that does not handbake as easily as Goteborgs Prima Fint and it probably wouldn't hurt to invest in an icetool for next time. Has a nice strong tobacco flavour that is not at all overwhelmed by the herbals. I feel the nicotine in this one also hits harder/faster, but I assume that's due to the cut of this one.
