Ok, I have been avoiding LOS for two years now, since my gum recession paranoia has gotten worse as my gums have. But, I signed up anyway for an all los box pass on that "other less visited" snus site. Well in anticipation, and since even the dog will not kiss me anymore, I dug out a can of Grov from my Pact stash, dated 2009, and it was just as wonderful as I remembered. Nothing like the taste of Grov los to me, maybe Ettan, Pioneer, Gotts Yellow, anyway, yummy!
I also found that while working, I could lip some without getting too wound up on the nic hit, small pinch was easy to conceal too. But here is the deal, I have a boat load of snus in the dedicated fridge, cheap affordable Getsnus cans from 2009, old school SM getsnus, when I got freaked and stocked up bigtime. I spent some quality time vacuum packing a rather obscene amount and it has kept perfectly at minus ten degrees for years. So I thought........
Well I finished the first can, and found that portions now tasted weird compared to the los. Not the first time I have converted from the taste of one to another. But when I dug out a mixed roll of Grov, Ettan, and General los, I cut the top seal and shot in a prilla of ice cold snus los with the Icetool and.......... Nothing! No taste or anything, I put the cans in the fridge and tried them a couple more times over the course of the evening, and got nothing, no taste at all. This really freaked me out thinking I had a freezer full of dud los snus now. Like an idiot, I got on the web and placed a 5 roll order of my favorites, good and fresh, while all the time feeling sick about wasting all that good snus.
Two days later (today), I opened a can of the Dud Grov I tried when ice cold, and it tastes perfect! What a relief, really!
But here is my question, WTF just happened? I thought I had always tasted the snus ice cold too! Did I have a sensory blackout? Stroke? really bugging me now. I know a lot of you guys have had ice cold los. Am I missing something here? I mean thank god I can taste the goodness again, but this event just got the best of me. I mean I was going to cull out the old stuff. Any thoughts?
