I ordered the Energy Snus the first day it was made available. I reviewed it on the snus forum. It's supposed to taste like honey, but I dubbed it 'Bit-O-Nasty'. The taste is dreadful, IMO. I did finish a tin of these, however, and grew more comfortable with their unpleasant taste as time wore on. But I will not reorder.
From a "kick" standpoint, Energy Snus didn't do much of anything for me. I expected heart palpitations, etc. These things not only have 6mg nicotine, but have caffeine, taurin and guarana.
I've also used the Power Elyxer stuff and it just has to be the nastiest tasting snus on the planet. It's supposed to contain the caffeine of two cups of strong coffee, plus the kick of multiple cigarettes. One user -- only one -- swears by it to start his day. I could not tolerate that taste first thing in the morning. I used up my tin over time, mostly using the things cautiously in late afternoon -- and when I could quickly replace one with something tasty, like a Java Stonewall tablet.
I would much prefer snus makers turn toward promoting health while providing nicotine. We don't need a coffee substitute when real coffee is better! But there are substances that could be absorbed via the mouth (like my B12/folic acid sublingual liquid) that could help us while satisfying our addiction to nicotine.
Even though Energy Snus is made by Wise and is rated at 6mg, it did not have nearly the effect on me that Wise Wine&Chef had. There is something about that tasteless Wine&Chef that no other snus seems to have. The kick is quick and very heavy. Like "
throw up" heavy! Energy Snus is not like that -- thankfully.
Each pouch supposedly has the equivalent of a cup of coffee too!
