Product Details
Marlboro snus is no longer available for purchase. It was made with plant-based materials pre-filled with high-quality tobacco, processed to deliver a smooth nicotine experience. The product did not require burning, avoiding smoke and related toxins.
Usage and Characteristics
- Used by placing a pouch under the upper lip, with nicotine absorbed through the oral mucosa.
- Noted for being smokeless and odorless, suitable for public or non-smoking areas.
- American-made versions were reported to have lower nicotine levels, dry pouches, and a sweeter profile compared to Swedish snus.
Flavor Notes (Former Variants)
The original tobacco flavor included hints of vanilla, herbs, chocolate, roasted coffee, and dark wood. The Rich variant had nut and cinnamon aromas, with a subtle sweetness alongside tobacco notes. Peppermint and spearmint options offered mint-infused profiles.
Health and Considerations
Contains nicotine, which can cause addiction. While it does not produce smoke or tar, it is not entirely harmless.
