No. 4 in tobacco snus

EttanOriginal Portion

One of Sweden's oldest recipes: earthy, smoky tobacco with hints of cocoa. A classic for tobacco purists, though the dark flavour divides opinion. (Based on public reviews and specs.)

Lab notes

Our verdict

Strengths

  • Rich, unflavoured tobacco character with smoke and cocoa notes
  • Soft, moist portions release flavour quickly
  • Long-standing classic recipe

Weaknesses

  • Earthy, salty profile divides opinion
  • Moist original portion drips more than white
This assessment is based on publicly available customer reviews and manufacturer data, not on a hands-on test by our team. Ettan (8.5 mg/g, 24 g per can) is a traditional unflavoured snus. Customer reviews repeatedly mention dark chocolate, earth and a light saltiness. Fans praise its authenticity. Critics find the taste too subtle or too "industrial". As a moist original portion it gives a fast flavour hit but is wetter than white variants.
