Ettan, Portion

Awesome with a cup of coffee, there is no better combination! But yes, as almost everybody wrote, it has this chocolate undertone. One of my favourites, but haven't been using it since last summer because I've been trying snuses I never tried before.

Found a can with a few portions in the fridge that I totally forgot but the pouches was dry and smelled weird. Probably because it expired in june 2011.. :D

I tell this much, if they ever get these out in wide circulation in the US, not just the test beds, I would not need international shipping much if at all. I happen to be on a Ettan portion kick for work this last summer. Normally a grov man, Odens only after work. Tried to work with the extreme snus and kept getting dizzy spells.

Takes a few to get used to the chocolate flavor again, then it is easy to enjoy what seems to be a great natural tobacco flavor again, the lower salt is most attractive too.

Im really craving one of these. Got one can from Sweden but cant order fuc***g SM products to EU so i need to take a trip to Sweden some day to get some Ettan OP!

I need that really good, mellow, tobacco flavour :)

Anyone got any suggestions to a similar taste which is not a SM product? ( i have tried Grovsnus OP from SM but i didnt like it. Too strong tobacco flavour for me.)

Can: standard Swedish Match with catch lid. I like the classic look to the art seems like it fits such an old brand
Smell Light, little salt, little hazelnut
Potion: standard SM "large" very soft, very comfortable nice and moist

Light flavor some salt some coco notable nuttiness lasts well. After the salt is all gone you get more tobacco. I can understand why a lot of people use this as there go to snus 4/5

I will definitely try the los at some point! However, the chocolate undertone is what really does it for me with Ettan OP. I am perfectly okay with the lack of overpowering salt -- that's what General is for! Hee hee... At this point, I'm about 90% certain that future orders will be a roll of General Long Sterk and a roll of Ettan OP, and go back and forth between the two during the day. I had Ettan with my morning coffee today and it was excellent. General LS isn't bad with it, either, but Ettan is way better.

Interestingly enough the loose has almost twice as much salt...although it does not taste like it. I definitely prefer the loose though, although I love the portions. As many have said, the portions have a bit more pronounced chocolate flavor.

Bla seems like the most salty of the two, always made my lip feel leathery, just so salty. Decent snus, however I was happy to finish off the last can so I could replace it with Ettan. Ettan is definitely one of the best snus out there.

I sure hope Ettan comes to the US -- forgot where I heard that."

Definitely a top-five pick, good for daily use.
I'll occasionally alternate with Ettan White until the whites are all gone.
This is one instance where the OP surpasses the whites.

+1

there's chocolate notes in ETTAN op and much tastier than the loose
