Re: Adjusting Tastebuds

My taste buds have moved all over the map as I ahve been using snus close to a year now. Things I tried earlier that I didn't like, I now like. And things I used to love now taste funny. For example, I got a can of Ettan for the first time and I did NOT like it. Now, it just had a funny taste to it, that I can't really describe. And other snus that I have loved for a while will eventually start to turn on me. Skruff Stark was a regular for about two months, and over the last can, I started to really not like it that much. Suddenly, the taste just started to become to overwhelming
I have just come to the conclusion that, other than NEVER trying phantom or level again, I need to be flexible and keep trying things occasionally. And when I start to settle on a few brands, make sure I mix it up enough so they won't turn on me.
Snus, as much as I have used and learned about it, still manages to mystify me sometimes.

Honestly, I am very happy with the OR cran. I never bothered to order the skruf. Maybe if the skruf had a loose option I'd give it a go, but for now I stick with the offroad.
I am due for another order. I only have 2 cans of non-stark loose left. I have lots of N&J portions, 2 cans of N&J loose and about 6 cans of Skruf stark. I just do not know what I want to order. I have been trying to delay my order until Gotlands Jacobsonn's is released, but I may not make it that far. I just cant make up my mind what I want to order.
I've been hooked on loose almost since day one, but I think I may explore more of the portions that I have neglected. Maybe a can of GR2 and Skruf Cran will go on this order.

My first day snusing both general and ettan tasted and smelled like pure tobacco, only a week later I can smell the difference with my eyes closed. I think you learn to appreciate the flavor and notice it over the nicotine taste and buzz.
This might be different for you, but as a newcomer I am pretty sure that is how it worked for me

I think you answered your own Q. But beyond the smoking, I've come to believe that snus is an acquired taste, and that it takes a while to learn to appreciate what it has to offer.
Even my LD minis, which at first tasted to me like cardboard, (when I was still smoking) now have a a distinct, tolerable, if somewhat low-rent tobacco flavor, and I don't mind them.

Adjusting Tastebuds
It's been a while since I'd had a portion of Skruf Cranberry or Göteborgs Rapé No.2, since my initial impression of them was not so good. I'm not one to waste, though, so I popped in a portion of Skruf Cranberry and after a while, I actually, FINALLY, tasted some cranberry. It was crazy; I can't see how I missed it the first few times. That being said, in terms of cranberry flavor, I actually found the OR version to be a bit more natural tasting, though it was too sweet for me. Xobeloot, I remember your query about the differences between the two--have you tried them both yet? What's your verdict?
When I re-tried the Göteborgs Rapé No.2, I was astounded. Berries! Lingonberries! I could actually taste it, and it was wooonderful. I'd been using the Göteborgs Rapé mini white portions for a while, and I guess I got used to the juniper flavor that so overwhelmed me. I honestly with they made No.2 in mini portions, though--it's one of my favorites so far.
Anyway, yeah, I was and still am really excited that I finally tasted something. I'm not sure how much smoking has affected my tastebuds, and though I've cut back, I don't think it's been enough to let them fully recover. Maybe it takes a while for one's palette to get used to snus regardless of whether or not he or she smoked? Ionno.
