Goteborgs Rape White snus....

[sheilalynn]

Raping the goat could start a whole new thread, hehe. I tried to translate it too, but couldn't find any definition either. But, "rapa" translated to english means "belch or burp"...so maybe they're trying to say it tastes like goat burps?

From the Northerner web site:

Göteborgs Rapé is a brand that dates back to 1919. The word rapé is french and means grate. Snus was already used during the 18th century, then snus was grated on a file or grater and was used as smelling snus - this was the exclusive way to use snus. The name Rapé was probably given to this snus so it would get a more exclusive feeling, and to separate it from the other snus brands, that just had a place name or for example “qualitysnus”. Göteborg is the swedish name for the city Gothenburg, Swedens second largest city.

Well there's the problem...we were using the wrong translator I speak French, but had never heard of rapé before. :-)

You may want to try Roda Lackett. It has a nice fruity taste like strawberries to me.

Good call. Roda Lackett is one of my personal favorites....That along with catch eucalyptus. Both are great for new snusers in my opinion...

Personally, goat rape is one of my top 5 faves, but then I used to quite enjoy a Tangeray gin martini, straight up, no twist or olive. Goat rape also comes in mini-portions, which are the size I prefer.

Have you tried the Mocca Pomegranate minis yet?

No. 2 doesn't taste anything like that and is actually pretty good. I recommend trying it. Even though they share a name, they don't taste all that much alike.

No, haven't tried those, but it does sound good!

Update: After a couple of portions, I now think the Goat Rape isn't so bad. It actually seemed a little better after tossing it into the freezer for some reason. Maybe it made the flavor a little milder or something. Dunno! :-)

See it does grow on you!
I think when the tobacco is fresh you get too much ammonia taste from it. Let it sit for a while and the taste changes. I've had a few I hated at first and now love. Gotlannds Yellow los I couldn't stand now it is one of my must haves daily.
Though I keep going back to the 1847 and it still tastes like crap to me.

I actually got a can of Gotlands yellow for my mystery can at getsnus once...liked it right from the start even though it was the first "unflavored" one I tried.
