    Anyone like Gustavus?

    I haven't seen this brand mentioned too often here as a favorite. I find it to be close in flavor to Grov or Ettan. Somewhat mellow, but with a good tobacco taste. Good with coffee. Beats the heck out of Knox, which I found bitter and too overpowering.

    One of my absolute favorites for sure. I love the Los and portions.

      Gustavus is great. I don't get it much because other brands fill that flavor profile for me, but it's a favorite of mine.

        I accidentally ordered 4 cans at buysnus when it was right next to the Knox portion. I liked it. It was not overpowering, enjoyable, and the flavor lasted a long time. It did not seem worthwhile to order more since Knox portion was 80 cents less than Gustavus. I suppose that is not much. It could be a mainstay portion of my if it was closer priced to Knox. Overall, I think it was better than Knox portion although at time Knox has a nice dark juice that will give me the burn that I crave that Gustavus does not.

        Cheers.

          First Import Can Opened...

          I looked at the cans in all the brands I ordered and thought, "This is the one I'll try first."

          First taste, waited... did not like it. Waited, did not like it. When finished opened a can of Eliyr P/E and thought it was very bland.

          It was then I wondered if I had made a $100 mistake. I wasn't smoking though so I continued.

          Shortly I started to get the taste for Gust. The citrus. The XL portion.

          It is going to be a reorder and regret I only ordered 5 cans so far.

          Love playing with the lid too. It is just a nice funky Snus that I really like now. It grows on you like all Snus.

            I really enjoy Gustavus. It can get quite bitter when it starts juicing.. but the flavor between insert and juicing makes up for it. It's a complex flavor and I can't really find anything that tastes like it.

              Just finished a can of it today, pretty long lasting flavor. I usually leave my gustavus in for as much as 2 hours.

                    I lean more towards original myself.

                      I would definetly order it. I like XL portions and I realy like Gustavus original. I have been tempted to order it from Northerner.

                        Gallaher house is discontinuing Gustavus Classic Portion according to an e-mail from buysnus.com, so if you like it you may want to hurry with an order.

                          I finally got three cans of the Original. I think I resisted this one so long because of the packaging. Maybe the image of the sail on the can made me subconciously think of Newport and menthol. Anyway I am really liking this one as I love the flavor of bergamot. It reminds me of a cup of earl grey. The snus IMO is similar to General having pepper undertones but bergamot instead of lemon flavor. Methinks I may end up buying a log of this.
