    yea that's what i meant, that's the only phantom i dig.

    fruit and snus.

They're strongly flavored with the yellow being bergamot, and the grey being anis. Even if you don't like licorice, it would be worth at least 1 tin of grey. The anis is very herbal tasting, and it compliments the tobacco well. You may find you like this. Others that don't like licorice have. While Gotland isn't a discount brand, they're bit cheaper than Swedish Match, and still come in 50g tins, so you have to figure that into the pricing. Otherwise, there's the Offroad varieties. For the more standard flavors I prefer the Phantom line. Offroad licorice is a big favorite of mine, but if you don't like licorice, it isn't so good.

      Edit:
      You might also want to look at Gellivare snus. While not exactly a discount product, it comes in 50g tins full of old school goodness. It's much harder to use than Swedish Match lös, but the flavor's unbeatable. Just tobacco and salt.
      Yea gotland is the one brand i've never tried at all, same with gellivare...not a fan of licorice at all.
      part of the reason i haven't ever tried of these is i've read they are difficult to pinch and run with...i prefer
      los i can grab and go with.
      but next order i'll throw in a can.
      i've tried offroad wintergreen before, when i was a n00b trying to replicate skoal.
      i thought it sucked big time, gave the can away after two pinches...after 20 yrs of wintergreen
      tobacco usage, the thought now disgusts me for some reason.
      the reek of kodiak turns my stomach

        and just like kodiak/skoal has fiberglass in it, i'm convinced phantom has plastic in it...the stuff molds
        together like plastic.
        if one was to throw in a prilla, die and get buried...20 yrs later dig them up and you'd find the prilla
        still glistening stuck to the upper teeth of the rotted skull.
        shredded plastic oh no!!!

          One of the problems gambino has is he's in California and he gets better pricing by going through Buysnus.

          If he has to go to Northerner for Gellivare or Blå then he has to pay the upfront taxes on those products. I hope at some time in the future those show up at Buysnus.

                Why would you wish that?

                Oh, those snus, not the taxes

                  That is exactly what I was about to suggest (together with Lindstroms). Both are a bit messy to handle at first................but oh they are so worth it..........two of my absolute favorites
                  When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers
