    Need help deciding on los brands

    I recently started using los at home. Now I am going on a 2-3 month trip and want to take some with me. I need to decide which brands to take.

    My first was Gote Rape. I like it very much. I was surprised how well I was able to bake. I was also surprised at how much of a "kick" it gave me.

    Then I tried Roda Lacket. It was *much* easier to bake because of the texture. But I found I went through the can faster. And at the end of the can, I was not as satisfied with the kick. I do not think I want to put this one on the list.

    Then I opened another Gote Rape, and was just as satisfied as before. So my problem with Roda was not simply a build-up of tolerance.

    Tonight I opened a Prima Fint. It has the same texture as Roda. Will I be as dissatisfied with this one? In fact, I just noticed that buysnus.com uses the word "mild" to describe both Prima Fint and Roda. Does that mean "weak," in the nicotine sense?

    I have an unopened can of General los that I will try in a couple days. FWIW, my regular portion snus brands are Lucky Strike original and Gote Rape No. 2. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I really like the Prima Fint, but would agree that it's on the mild side. If you are concerned about a strong kick, try Skruf Stark. I also think that both Ettan and Gotland Yellow are stronger than the PF.

    Just my 2p.

      Thanks for the input, Asquar. Is there a big difference between Ettan los and General los? I did not find a big difference between their portions.

      Also, just to clarify, I am not really concerned about getting an extra strong kick. It's just that Roda Lacket seemed unusually weak to me. I use Skruf Stark portions in the morning, but I have resisted the temptation to make that an all day snus, because I would rather not get accustomed to that much nicotine. For this reason, I am also hesitant to give Skruf Stark los a place in my regular rotation.

        That depends on your taste, maybe. I'd say they're extremely different. Ettan is one of my all time favorites with a natural, unintrusive tobacco-taste, while General for me is a "flavor-overkill", almost disgusting. You will hardly find anyone, who loves both brands but almost everyone will love one of these brands. General is even a bit more popular than Ettan. Both brands are simply MUST-TRIES.

        Cheers!

          Interesting. I've tried and like Ettan (though it borders on too salty for me,) but haven't tried General loose, so I can't compare. I guess I'll add a tin with my next order.

            I do love both brands and cannot decide which one is better. But I know I am a pervert...

              This is not the original Skruf Stark Los, but it is pretty darn good.

              This snus has a good grind and is not “pasty” like a Prima Fint....
