It's actually Strong Los

I'd try that one, Bold Portioned is quite good, clean strong tobacco taste without any bergamots or licorice + the aluminium/plastic cans for the win! No other snus on the market has such a great designed can.
Strong Loose has just appeared in the main online shops.

lucky strike los first when you open the can you smell pure tobacco its got a medium grind its very moist the flavour is fantastic theres a hint of smoke but the rest is pure straight tobacco the nic hit is great when i put it in a pris there was a nice burn its been in for almost a hour and its still going strong this is one of the best los snus i have ever had!!

I just got two cans of this yesterday, and I'd say that cj is pretty much spot on in his review.

The grind is somewhere between Goat Rape and Roda Lackett - nice and easy to hand bake, with a good amount of juice released if you squeeze it.

There's a definite burn when you put in in, but it mellows out nicely. Almost no citrus or bergamot - mainly straight tobacco, and in fact the nearest thing I can think of in taste is Oden's Extra Sterk Los. This is better though.

Definite big nic hit here although I'm not sure exactly how much.

So far (first pris) it's very good indeed. I quite like the fruits (GR & RL) los snusses, but I think this one might go on the main rotation schedule.

Oh. And the can is the BEST EVER. All metal (with plastic insert) and an embossed lid. A superb looking snus can with a real tactile appeal.

Hmmm.....having gotten a bit further into this pris I have another comment.

The grind appears to be a combo of a very fine grind and a medium/rough. After about 90 minutes, the fine part of it started to slide pretty badly. Almost dissolving out while the rough cut bits stayed firm. Not sure I'm keen on that....I'll try more research.

The toastiness comes through much more strongly in the lös than it does in the portions. It also has a bit of nuttiness to the flavor. It reminds me a lot of PM1847, but with smoke. The tin's pretty nifty also, and is the best looking tin on the market imo. It's plastic lined tin, and seems to seal pretty well. Time will tell if there's any problems with the tin. The original tin the used for Luckys came apart easily when chilled. The lös tin seems to stay together better in that regard.

I find this snus takes a long time to release the flavour when baked into a tight prilla.

Take a loosish pinch from the can and hillbilly it and wow this snus rocks. the hit and the flavour shines through.
