Personal tastes compared

[Mongrul]

Keep it going dudes!

No posts here since June? Maybe time for a new thread for us Noobs. I've only had my first order for 3 days.....and I've cracked about 6 cans. I've got a portion of Grov going right now, and it's great. All portions mind you. General is kickin, as is Ettan and GRape (for weird flavor). I've got two sample packs to try out still, so I won't get into a blow-by-blow but I'll just say that I've cut my smoking in half, even when drinking!!

I tried and tried to like Grov Snus. It gets such rave reviews but i just couldnt enjoy the flavor at all. It was fresh and good for another 2 1/2 months. Guess i just will not like it.

Los is the way to go IMO.

[snusfather]

This will be my first post on the site, (although I have been refering to it for quite some time...) seemed like a good place to start.
These are all portion snuses, I have had no good expierience with Los.
Onyx, Grov, Goteborgs Rape, Gustavus Original. I like a rich snus, usualy with lemon or hebal character. I have also found that I like runny snus (I tend to beat the portion up quite a bit).

Goteborgs Rape no.2, Kronan, Roda Lacket, General Maxi, Tre Ankare, Gottlandsnus Green, Ettan. These are good and I sometimes work them into rotation.

:? Skruf, Gottlandsnus Yellow, Metropol, most Catch products, most LD products, Offroad Gren Apple, Nick & Johnney's . These, not so good. The Skruff burns to much in my throat and the Gottlandsnus is too rough on my gums (though, the green is worth it once in a while). I have found N&J's flavor and strength to not be worth the throat burn.

:evil: Level, Lucky Strike, Taboca. These come from the Devil (like decafe coffee or light beer) The only one I think folks might find suprising is the Lucky Strike; I think it tasts synthetic.

I wonder if taste buds are different in Scandinavia. Certainly the American dips have way more flavor than most swedish snus. The Camel snus made for America is highly flavored...

I like the Ettan Snus and the Roda Lacket the best.... so far.... when I tried Luckies, I hated them, but maybe my tastes have changed by now. Last I tried I even liked the Roots... (regular not wintergreen). I gotta try some more and repost... ever changing tastes....

When I went to Denmark, I noticed they eat raw fish way more than Americans. I will say I totally love Carlsberg Beer.

[Svarthvitt]

I like very much: General (Løs&Portion), Nick and Johnny (Løs&Portion), Ettan løs, Skruf løs.

Good, but not perfect: Ettan portion, Røda Lacket Løs, Catch, LD, Skruf portion(Sterk & Original).

These aren't puke-like bad, but these are the ones I like the least: Røda Lacket portion, Skruf Tranbär, mocca, and more.

[Asquar]

The A team:

Lös: Skruf Stark
Portion: Nick & Johnny
Mini: Romeo & Julieta Senoritas

Best of the Rest: Gotland Yellow, Prima Fint, Ettan (lös)

Not so much: Wise 6mg, Tre Ankara minis.

Wow, lots of portland area snusers!

[gentlemanly]

Well, I have been snusing with the real stuff for about 4 days now (previously just a camel snus user) and have tried a few different kinds. I guess my tastebuds have been a little ruined by the super sweet/flavor of the camel. I am as yet not used to the saltiness of the swedish stuff. Its getting easier though.


Gotenborgs rape #1: I have my first one in right now and I like it a lot!! I think that it is my favorite so far.

Mocca: Mint and pomegranate - I liked both fairly well

Knox and General original mini - a little too salty after about a halfhour

Lucky strike white - not quite as salty and decent flavor

Catchdry Eucalyptus - its like a mild Camel Frost, I liked this quite a bit.

Montecristo loose: still getting used to loose, but its the only loose that I have in my freezer, I reaaaaallly like it, I just haven't gotten the hang of the loose yet, still too new. (I think that it is a great introduction to loose for the newbie, too bad we can't get it anymore :cry
