Order Time. Jakobsson's Licorice and Flader worth it?

[Ansel]

Sounds great.

You could also just add some soap or oil field brine to your favorite snus for the same flavor!

[spirit72]

Yea, they're the same. They used to be known by color amongst forumers, if not the company itself. I'd have to look at my old Gra can to see if they listed the flavor on them.

Gra-grey-anis
Gul-yellow-bergamot
Gron-green-elder

I don't remember whether they did that with Yellow. But cans of Gray said 'Anis', and Green said 'Fläder'

At any rate, Original Poster---yes, both are good. I liked the Anis lös better than the portions, personally---the salt seemed to be more prominent in the portions. And Fläder is of course an old favorite of mine. Very unique snus. You'll either love it or not love it, but you'll find absolutely no other snus that is anything like it. Fläder is particularly good as a summer snus, in my opinion, so you're picking a good time to try it.


Edit: And oh yeah.....I miss Gotlandssnus Gul too, Jimmy!!

You got me up to look. All the greys I ever had said anis on the the tin, but the greens and yellows didn't say.

So the Flader isn't available in a los? :-/

Nope, never has been outside a very specialty release in Sweden, and as a gift from Jimmy.

[Ansel]

I see. Now i know. Thank you!

Not yet. I remember Jimmy saying, way on back, that they never released Green in lös because the taste just didn't come out right that way.

But didn't I read something earlier about that being possibly done, or being tested? I can't remember, but I'd kill several people for a shot at trying it.

Jimmy sent out a bunch of samples awhile back. Both the flader, and plain los. Both were exceptional, and as good as you imagine. I'm hoping they'll make it a limited release at least, but I'm not holding my breath :^/

You might want to try some Granit, Oh wait, thats not available there. Well thats OK, try some Gellivare, Oh wait, thats not even on the menu anymore. Well OK, try some Pioneer, well shucks, out of stock.

I've had the Flader portion and it was interesting. Sort of a sour apple flavor, it took a while for it to grow on me. I'd say its a once in a while kind of thing. I've had the grey (anise, licorice) los and it wasn't bad at all. I cant comment on the portion version though, but I imagine the los would have more flavor.

Tru.. that was the thing back in the old times! the flavor was not good used for loose. Some adjustment in the flavor (more concentrated) and a bit higher amount made an ok prototype for loose! that prototype i shiped as a sample for a bunch of people on this forum..

[resnor]

That prototype was AWESOME!!!! I've been trying to keep the flader going for as long as possible...and it's almost gone...

[gax1985]

Northerner indicates the licorice is the old Gotland Grå, which I kind of suspected. It's one of the few portions on my roll buy list, but it isn't quite licorice. It's an herbal anis taste, which is very similar to licorice, but different. Worth a try for sure.

My family in Syria grew Anise and sold it by the ton ! The plant is used medicinally to fight flus and making liquor ( Arak , deliciously STRONG stuff ) ! the taste reminds me of smelling it in the warehouse

[whalen]

I became quite fond of Jimmies creations and find myself craving some Green Los, I used it at work and found it to be perfect! Thank you Jimmy and now I pay the price for liking it! Come on Green Los! So tasty.
