I wanted to add, to my previous comments, that I agree with others that the name change was a bad idea. Not only do I like the look of the old Wise label, I think it had a hint of sophistication. Even though nicotine is still addictive I'd like to think that I'm making a wise decision in using purified snus over alternative forms of tobacco. The old label complements a thoughtful decision to use snus (not only in name but in the elegance of the design).
I would also like to add that I appreciate the design of the container. The "ashtray" compartment is excellent! One of the benefits of using portioned snus is that it's public friendly. You don't get smoke everywhere like with cigarettes and you don't need a spittoon. Having an "ashtray" means no smoke, no spittoon, and you don't have to leave used snus pouches around if there is no garbage container available.

I've been using the Wise Citrus/Menthol for over two years now. Camel sent me a test tin of their original SNUS just over 2 years ago. Because it wasn't available until recently in the US I've been trying various snus products from Northerner. Though weak the only SNUS I've come across that I enjoy was the Wise Citrus and Menthol...
I use to always order the 3mg pouches in part because that's all they had until about a year ago. Recently I decided to order/try the Wise, now Oomph, 6mg pouches. They are awful. There is practically no flavor compared to the Wise 3mg pouches. The 3mg pouches weren't potent for long but at least they had flavor. I don't know if it's an ingredient/amount change now that it's oomph or if they simply didn't compensate for the additional tobacco used in the 6mg pouches. I found a new favorite anyway. The Northerner Energy Snus tastes great!!

I wasn't impressed by the taste of this snus. It advertises that it will "always" freshen breath, but I didn't find this to be the case. The flavor is almost non-existant in this snus.
On the plus side, the nic hit is unlike an other snus I've had thusfar. It's fast and to the point, giving a great buzz early on. On the down side, it doesn't last very long. I removed it after maybe half an hour. It was okay, but I won't be buying this snus anytime in the forseeable future.

After reading all these reviews i thought i would give this snus a try and what a dissapointment. There is hardly any flavor not enough nicotine. The packets are covered in a powdery substance.
This is the first snus i have ordered that i have decided to never order again.
all that aside when you actually get a little taste of it the flavor is quite good but unless it comes out in a normal full size portion i will not be ordering this snus again.

this stuff is wonderful... I got it in my tryout box i received yesterday, it was a little dried out when i first got it because the lid was cracked when they shipped it but i fixed that problem, i misted a little water on each pouch with a spray bottle, its as good as new now. I also love using it after eating dinner with my girlfriend i just say im going to use the restroom and sneak a pouch in she doesnt notice it at all, it's small and it keeps my breath amazingly fresh..... thankz alot oopmh.. you are truley one of a kind

great stuff, can is small, flavor is big, nic hit is just right, and makes your teeth with and mouth fresh! NAME SUKS bring back WISE

I got this in a try out box and i must say, it is one of my favorites so far. The portions are small enough that i forget i even have one in my mouth sometimes but it still gives me a solid nicotine kick. The taste is great, subtle yet smooth and delicious. The can is small enough to easily slide in and out of my pocket. I will get this again hands down.

I was a little skeptical about Oomph before I tried this, but I was pleasantly surprised: Oomph tastes pretty good and lasts longer than you'd expect. The citrus/menthol flavor is subtle, and unlike other snus products. Thanks to chewing gum ingredients like xylitol, it is more sweet than salty. The portions are very dry, which means that a) you must wet each portion with your tongue before you place it in your upper lip, b) the portions resist dripping into your mouth, so they can stay up there for a very long time, c) there's no real need to refrigerate them, and d) the portions will not interfere with the flavor of food or drinks very much.
But I do have a few complaints. While the product information says that it is for "medium to heavy smokers" and has "high and fast absorption of nicotine," I did not find this to be the case. The 6mg of nicotine in each portion is slightly lower than the standard 8mg, and if anything the rate of absorption was slightly slower, perhaps due to the dryness of the portions. Also, the texture of the fabric on the portions felt a little papery to me, which I did not care for. Finally, the portions are a little powdery. These last two probably wouldn't bother most people.
More superficially, the packaging is very cool and the portions have a much later expiration date than other snus. Overall, I'd recommend it for certain situations where discretion is a plus. For that reason, I'll probably always get a can of these with each order.

This is good stuff. It has a very good subtle flavor and gives a good nic kick for such a small portion. I like that iIdon't even notice that I have one in and it doesn't cause me to salivate a lot. This will be a regular on all my orders.

I have tried and have a freezer full of snus, from General Ekstra Sterk and Thunder to minis.
This snus provides one of the quickest and best feeling nic hits hands down
The NAME CHANGE IS HORRIBLE , bring back the "Wise

Man, I wish this portion were larger! I loved this one. Goes great with beer, too, at least American cold beer. More nicotine would be a plus, and if the flavor lasted longer, this would be fantastic. Doesn't really have a can, but style 2/5 flavor 5/5. I will definitely buy this again. As a matter of fact, I'll have one right now. Highly reccomended for a new user of snus.

I've been using this stuff for awhile now after trying several different kinds. This would be my snus of choice. A good kick, good flavor, and a great price. Everything about this puts camel snus to shame.

Tasty! The citrus and menthol combine perfectly! It reminds me of a lemon Ricola, but in a good way. It has a nice strong nicotine kick for a mini, and comes in a nice thin container that is easy to pocket. Great for beginners, I am ordering a roll of this.
- frazzledglispa, 03/26/2009 00:12:29
This is by far my favorite snus. I love the fact that it has the mint flavor but without overdoing it. It is very subtle but still has plenty of nicotine kick. It is no Nick and Johny but enough to get you through waiting at the mall for the lady or sitting through a meeting. 5/5 for me
- tdornjr, 03/25/2009 16:39:30
This snus has an absolutely amazing flavor that just keeps going.
oomph has just enough nicotine kick to take the edge off when your out and about without blurring your mind like the stronger snus's.
- HavoC, 03/13/2009 03:35:56
This snus has awesome flavor, and decent nicotine in a very small portion.
- scottkidder, 03/04/2009 00:46:54
This snus is great! I'm from Oregon (USA) and we have Camel snus in a few stores here but I find it to be way too strong and the flavor to be overpowering (not to mention more than twice the cost!).
I like this Wise snus because the flavor is mild, though, also enjoyable.

Really enjoy the small portion without sacrificing the nicotine. Flavoe is subtle and smooth.

I have been chewing American tobacco for a few months, but am concerned with all of the additional additives that are widely known to cause health problems especially oral cancer, and in the course of my research I learned of Swedish snus as there is apparently little to no negative health impacts at least that I could detect. So I bought a can of wise and it is fabulous!!! I am from Minnesota and am a .25% Swedish.
