Phantom Classic Blue Portion?

[Sacrilicious]

It just showed up on Buysnus and the Northerner. I'm not the biggest Phantom fan in the world.. In fact I have an open can of the portions just sitting in my fridge.. Has anyone tried this, though? It's pretty cheap, I was just gonna tack one onto my next order for kicks.. Maybe someone has an opinion?

I can not stand any V2 tobacco products especially Phantom. My last order from buysnus I order 2x knox loose and was sent 2x Phantom loose instead. What a bummer even though they are sending me the knox, but why couldnt I get like 2x Gustavus instead of Phantom. I just think its terrible and from trying Phantom and Offroad Loose they just taste so like fake and almost plastic or something if that makes sense. Anyways its just horrible IMO and I have made a pact with myself to never try any V2 tobacco again unless I hear some amazing reviews on a new product that they make,

phantom "classic" portion is hands down the worst snus I have ever tried, the pouch tastes like what computer paper used to taste like when we used to eat it in elementary school....almost identical

Sounds to me like it is v2/phantom's attempt at a Goteborgs rape meets gotlands green.

I'll toss a can of these on my next order. Who knows.

I refuse to touch it with a ten-foot pole, but I'm still interested to see how it tastes, anyway. :lol:

I'll let ya know. I would prefer to try it in a loose form, but alas... I'll be putting in another large order on about tuesday of next week. Expect a review in about 2 weeks.

I will be eagerly waiting a review. I did not mind the phantom portions. They were a too bit salt and peppery. If Xobeloot gives a half way decent review I will give it a shot. V2 has a lot of aromatic snuses that tend to not deliver on flavor, although the Phantom portions do-not the right balance of flavor unfortunately. I hope this might be a change.

Oh, the eternal V2-issue :wink:

I'm absolutely not a huge fan my self - in fact I consider the Offroad original to be the worst snus I have ever tried.

The sweetness, I think, is the biggest problem, but I also find that the snus itself has a certain oily feeling to it that a really dislike. It's most noticeable with the portions ... maybe it has something to do with the type of aroma that they use?

With that said ... I must admit I have had some good times with the cranberry loose. And also (to my surprise) the one can of Longcut original that I've had :shock:

Anyways, I can't help appreciating the effort they guys at V2 put in to their business. Maybe they should just consider their current quality/quantity-balance.

v2 has some that I love, some that I hate. I will say that V2's customer service is second to none.

Anyways, I am actually looking forward to giving this a shot. As most of you know, I dont like portioned snus much at all (no matter what the brand). I wish I could say that I will be trying a new loose, but I will not. Maybe if this snus is tasty enough I can convince a few more people to try it and then maybe push for a loose version.

I'll be the first to admit that the one and only can of phantom loose I ever got went straight into the toilet. I also know of at least one person on these forums who quite enjoys phantom. I may love this new one, he may hate it. This is the beauty of snus Anyways, I'll be placing my order in about 3 days here. Keep your eyes open for a review thread.
