Congradulations Personaly I don't care for General, but it is the most popular in Sweden so somebody must dig it. Might I sudgest trying Phantom Blue??? Welcome to the wonderful world of loose

Thank you! Thank you! It certainly is quite a different experience from portion snus.
I see it as being an occasional treat-not something regular...
Though I could definitely see the supposedly juniper overtones of Phantom Blue going well with the soft texture of loose snus...

Phantom Blue is a great tasting Lös snus. Once you get over the Windexesque smell. To me, it tastes like a lemon drop. If you want to try a strong lös, I might suggest Skruf Stark. Great nicotine level and it packs well. :wink: And, to echo CWC, welcome to the Lös side of snus. 8)

Roda Lacket is great for those times when you'd want to use a portion; it's easy to make a slender pris that's more discreet (or make totem animals out of it, or a myriad of other things).

Hmmm....I don't think I could ever go back to portion now.
They taste horrible compared to los.:x
There isn't a single los I particularly dislike.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

I agree.

Welcome to the wonderful world of los! It will become less messy with time and practice.

I prefer strong los, but Ettan is a must try!

If you like phantom, you'll love thunder (if you're into stark). Same manufacturer.

I find myself using portions less and less now that I've started using los (with the cheesecloth covering of course) :P Really is a big difference between portions and los in taste. All the Offroad Los I've tried has been really good, along with General and Gotlands Yellow.

Alright, I have a question about loose snus, and by all means feel free to call me stupid/idiot/whatever and whatnot. Can't you just swallow this when your done? I can see why you couldn't swallow the poaches (would get trapped in your disgestive tract and all that) but the loose stuff would be able to easily be digested, wouldn't it?
As I said before, feel free to call me an idiot.

I dont think it would reallly taste very great but thats just my opinion. I will finish up this portion and swallow it and get back to you. that is if i dont choke first

[sagedil]

I have swallowed portions before. Won't hurt you, but I am not sure I really want to put that much through my digestive track. Maybe just me.

ehhhhhh
sorry but you guys must just be way more hardcore than me...I accidentally swallowed a bit of snus from a portion that busted a little. Felt like I'd swallowed a sack of ball bearings with how it hit my stomach. Two hours of feeling like I'd just won an Indian food eating contest, then I felt fine.
I also had a friend in high school who swallowed some dip when he got caught be a teacher, then had to run to the bathroom to puke it back up.
One thing is for sure...unless I'm eating something that's in my mouth, I won't be swallowing.
Bottom line...Spit or Swallow, what's your preference... :lol:

i await PPs response to your reply Guns
