Go back Our Skruf Stark, Strong Portion ReviewLaunched in 2005 and made by Skruf AB in Sweden, Skruf Stark portion is classified as a regular type portion which means that each portion goes thru a final step in the manufacturing process that adds a bit more moisture to each of them. This added moisture helps the flavors in the snus to marry together and release it faster when it’s in the lip. Skruf uses a bit less moisture in the final step due to the moisture level being higher in the snus its self which can leave the material a bit dryer than most regular type portions but, Skruf uses a soft, teabag type material with their portions and is comfortable in the lip for as long as the flavor lasts which is about 2 hours. Each can of Skruf Stark portion contains 24, one gram portions with each having 14 mg of Nicotine. Skruf Stark’s can is made of the signature white plastic with a clear plastic label and yes, there is a used portion compartment in the lid of the can. It’s under the cap with the Skruf logo embossed on it but, enough about the can, let’s talk about the flavor! Skruf describes the flavor of Skruf Stark as having a pure and mild tobacco flavor containing natural aromas from bergamot and rose oil. The most confusing flavor in Skruf Stark is the Rose Oil. While many of you, that have read some of the other reviews, know that bergamot is a flavor that’s a cross between a lemon and a grapefruit, most of you may not know what Rose Oil tastes like. The rose oil gives Skruf Stark a light herbal flavor and actually adds a slight bit of sweetness to the snus. When it’s combined with the mild tobacco and bergamot flavors, they give Skruf a flowery scent and a mild, herbal flavor with a bit of a sweet taste. While this is what we taste, we want to know what you taste in Skruf Stark portion. So, why not add a can or two to your next order and leave us a review letting us know what you think of Skruf Stark portion snus. We’ll be looking forward to reading it!

Well personly i love General the best! This Snus is awful! It smells so bad that i have gone sick!;-(
Its to juicy for me! always need a spit bucket or need to be outside to spit and swallow! Good enough flavour but many minus! 6/10 design of can. 4/10 taste. 1/10 smell.

I think the Skruf stark Portion is better than the Skruf Original portion, but i think the portion is too big and if feel so dry in your mouth. If it was a bit wetter it would taste much better.

I loved the kick, the flavor was good, and the packaging is very attractive. This is definitely NOT a beginner's snus, however, so while people were interested in what I was doing, I was very hesitant to share it for fear I would give people a bad impression regarding snus in general.
As others have said, this snus definitely has a lot more "juice" than others, but that's ok since this isn't really a subtle product for office or social use. When I use it, I keep a spit cup by me as swallowing it will normally make me nauseous. The smell is also quite quite terrible. I'll definitely be throwing a can of this into my normal routine, because flaws aside, it's really quite good.

Dark and rich tobacco flavor. I see why its the number one seller here, its a good quality product.

I have been trying out different types of snus on this website and chose this because of the cool look and high nicotine content. These definitely give a cool buzz when put in upper or even lower lip. They are nice when relaxing at home, but are too bulky to not be noticed when out and about. The smell is nasty(n worse than american dip though), but the taste is not bad at all. It required a bit of spitting which is a bit of a downside, but who cares about that during a good 30 minute buzz?!

Congrats! After much research on the internet, I successfully used Swedish snus to quit smoking two years ago  I would NEVER go back. I've got a product that is safe, doesn't make you smelly, and you can do it WHILE you're working! No more lost productivity on smoke breaks. I've tried the US Camel Snus, which is basically a mini portion- it's worthless, period. Only Northerner has the REAL stuff  I also found that, even though I didn't smoke all that much in my opinion, I needed the sterk line rather than regular- the higher nicotine yield makes quitting much, much more comfortable.
Ditto on the nicotine, and in particular the simple, predictable taste. In this sense, I really like General Extra Sterk; however, it’s a close call between that and Skruf Stark, as Skruf Stark has the unique flavor of rose oil. It takes some time to really distinguish the flavors; my advice to anyone trying to quit smoking is simply to find what tastes good/works for you. Northerner offers try out boxes for that matter. After two years, trust me when I say you’ll begin to differentiate between flavors. But it’s not an elite cigar aficionado club, much of it is simple personal preference. Thus, you really can’t go wrong with snus

With clear head I can say this is absolutely the best snus you can buy. My top brand.

Nothing negative to say about this snuff. For such a high nicotine content it does not have an overbearing flavor. Just a hint of bergamot and role oil give it a slightly herbal taste just below the surface of premium tobacco. A good all day snus for all you stark lovers.
nickharris007, 09/16/2009 19:23:02
nice at first when you first pop it in but i find it gets bitter after about 20 minutes and the nic tails off as well...i find myself sucking and squeezing it to get the flavour back but by then its just bitter. overall its not bad but probably wont get it again, i much prefer nick and johnny, more flavour and hits harder, at least to me it does! i seems that i prefer the straight up tobacco snuses, giving the flavoured stuff a miss. if you like the straight tobacco flavour i recommend giving ettan a try, i think its perfect as an everyday snus, and nick and johnny as my preffered strong snus.

Simply the most outstanding snus I have had. I started snusing this Spring, to quit smoking, and have been successful, and love the snus! I have read a TON of reviews and blogs, and after trying dozens of different brands and strengths of snus, I realized that taste preferences are very different from person to person, and that it took me awhile to "develop" my taste, and to decide what was right for me.
When I started I was put off by the more "natural" tasting snuses (General, skruf, etc) and THOUGHT I liked the flavored ones. As time went on i realized I liked a simple, STRONG, predictable taste with DEFINITE nicotine satisfaction. The flavored ones, while interesting, lost their appeal, and were just not strong enough.. (i only smoked a pack a day, and didn't think I would need the strong snuses, but I have found tat I have to have the strong nic level to keep the satisfied feeling.)The winners are: Skruf Stark regular portion-- powerful, easy on the lip (hardly any "pickling") and loooonnnngg lasting (I've had them in for hours, and still produce flavorful, dark juice). General Extra Sterk-- very nice, provides me with some variety, a little sour sometimes, and does "pickle" my lip a bit. Grov-- a great "lighter" snus for when I've over-nic'd myself with the Skruf....a little sweeter, a little milder, and and probably the most unique taste of any I tried. My orders are always something like 50% Skruf Stark, 35% General Xtra sterk, and 15% Grov.

i've got two portions in right now. It's straight up classic flavor. strong tobacco taste, no sweetness, nothing fancy, just straight tobacco - if that's your thing than it's great. if it's not - give it a miss. personally i'm a fan - 4 stars
gbland, 07/07/2009 07:56:05
The flavor is that of a cheap cigar IMO. Yes there is a high amount of nicotine, but you lose on flavor and too much juice. I know it's not a white portion, but I've never had this much juice in my life. I prefer Nick and Jonny's strong over this one any day.
charliefreck, 06/11/2009 02:29:41
awesome! they took everything that made original skruf so great, and threw in some more nicotine. pure genius! i'm definitely getting me some more of this stuff. 5 stars easy. don't change a thing skruf.

I had tried Skruf (original) a couple of years back when I got my first try-out box and at the time it didn't impress me and I went on to make General White and subsequently General Sterk my mainstay snus. So, I was going to complain when The Northerner (accidentally? benevolently?) sent me a roll of Skruff Stark instead of my usual General Sterk.
But after a couple of days I realised I loved the stuff. The portion sizes are just right, they look a bit small at first but the nicotine level and flavour are suitably strong that they don't need to be any bigger. The flavour doesn't deteriorate and you can feel the nic hit without getting ill, which is what I like. Great snus. The loose is even better!
kris13127, 05/19/2009 06:52:53
This is a great, strong snus! I use snus somewhat regularly, but this snus still give me the same kick I got when I started using it. And it doesn't leave a horrible taste in your mouth like most strong snus I've tried.
sam.sak, 05/11/2009 14:15:39
Tried this snus first time in norway as my gf hates me smoking so when i went to visit she said i should try this, (when i say 'said i should try i mean 'forced' lol) I am new to snus and have tried general 8mg portion which is good but this...WOW, its a very nice tasting snus which lasts for a long time, with a good nic kick. Its not too strong so can be used as an every day snus. Even though not a white portion, unlike the general snus it doesnt produce a lot of snuswater, which is a problem with many beginners as they tend to salivate a lot. The bag is soft and fits very nicely and the bag material is not rough on the gums unlike many brands out there. I have ordered a roll and cannot wait to receive it.
Perfect smoking substitute for me. Since i live in the UK many people dont know wat it is and turn their noses up, but everyone that has tried it loved it ! Personally my favorite snus so far. 5*

I have been hunting for a snus that I would return to a lot. I've tried several brands and still ended up going back to cigarettes. I had read the review of this snus and decided to give it a try. While apprehensive about trying a stronger snus, I must say I do enjoy this brand a great deal. I was expecting a burning from the tobacco but I was very wrong. It was smooth right off the bat, had no after taste like others I had tried and kicked my cigarette habit right out the window from day one. This one will be a standard part of my snus collection.
jsharp1, 05/01/2009 22:39:50
This snus provides an excellent extra kick when you're in that mood. The flavor is good, but I prefer the extra bitterness to Nick and Johnny's strong portions. Really its the hit of this snus that I like the best, and the fact that it's great to have a drink with as the flavors don't mingle too much. The hit is hard yet smooth. It won't knock you over with nicotine, but brings you right up to that comfortable edge.
