    Whats your favorite cheap snus?

    So whats your favorite less expensive snus? Why do you like it? Which do you dislike?

    So far my favorite of the less expensive snuses is knox loose, nice flavor and good strength. The worst is elixyr energy.

    For me, either Granit or Knox. I just got into Knox recently, but it's turned into another one of my "all-day" brands... the brands that I can basically enjoy all day long without getting bored.

    You should definitely try Granit. It's big on tobacco taste with a little bit of citrus thrown in for good measure. Honestly, I'd pick this over General any day of the week. General has too much citrus for my tastes, but I find the citrus in Granit to be subtle and more evenly balanced with the tobacco flavor. The loose is excellent and so are the maxi portions. I haven't tried the regular portions, but I can't imagine they'd somehow be less tasty than the maxis.

    The worst? Probably either Phantom or Kronan original portion. The Phantom was too salty and the flavor was too synthetic. The Kronan... well, the loose is alright sometimes, but the portions burned like hell. I haven't tried Level, but most here seem to place it in the "avoid like the plague" category.

        Granit was one of the first lös snuses I tried and I did like the flavor but it seemed to have a lot of burn, now that I am used to loose maybe I should give it another try, I have almost a whole can in the fridge.

          I didnt really like the first OC portion I tried, tasted papery. I had one at work today though and it tasted pretty good, maybe I am getting used to it, but I have gone from being sorry I bought it to thinking of it as ok.

            I like the whole LD line. The only drawback is with the portion bags. The Black is ok, but the Red and Enbar I find quite abrasive. What I like about LD is they're strongly flavored with flavors I like.

            Red has a lot of citrus and bergamot flavor
            Black tastes like pure licorice
            Enbar tastes like a Christmas tree
            Guld lös has more flavor than Grov lös imo. My next order I will try the Guld portions.

            I have some Granit lös and portions in the freezer that I'm looking forward to trying. I also have some Knox lös in the freezer that I haven't tried yet. Level portions can go to hell. I may try Level lös at some future date due to Kindrd's (sort of)recommendation. I also don't care for V2's snus though I'll give them 1 more chance in the future when I try one of their lös products.

              Thanks, guess I'll try some ld. Almost bought some on my last order, but I try to order only what I know I can use in a week or 2. I wish the black came in lös as well as portions.

                  I have to agree with Soft Morning, City! on Granit.
                  The taste is one of my very favourites so far.
                  Only downside with the regular portions I had was the pouch material,
                  which was way below the standart. Kinda like one out of five portions ripped open and they just looked ragged from the moment on when I opened the tin.
                  But still, very good snus indeed!

                    How strange. I've been using the Granit maxi portions regularly for a few months now and I haven't come across a portion yet that's been damaged. Maybe the two varieties are made with a different material? I doubt it, but you never know.

                      Granit Loose; perhaps my favorite snus.

                        Knox portion - hands down the best snus on the cheap. I tried Kronan portion and loose and couldn't stand either one. Kronan has a weird after taste to me.

                          Is Knox fadding out?

                          Hey guys, great site, I am a fairly new snuser, does anyone know if Skruf is limiting or discontinuing the Knox line? I have received three orders from Northerner and the expiration date and time on the can seems to be getting shorter with each purchase. For example I received some Knox loose today in March that expires in April? Everything else I've received has at least a few of months; maybe I am just being paranoid?
                          I am also waiting for my first order from BuySnus.com; I ordered a couple of rolls of mixed snus mainly portions. Has anyone else tried there mixed rolls? Really curious to see what I get since I am still experimenting with different brands, hope they are not all bottom of the line stuff they cannot get rid of.

                            CWC:

                            I just got a roll of Knox portions from Buy Snus and it's best before date isn't until July. I'm fairly sure it isn't being discontinued anytime soon. However, there's always the sad chance that they'll stop making the loose, as it apparently doesn't sell as well as portions.

                              It just so happens that I included a roll of knox portions on my last order, I am really liking the loose. I certainly hope they dont discontinue it, its great after work with an energy drink or juice, have a pris in right now and its really working for me
