Kronan suxx but it's cheap so I guess alot of people changed to it when the taxes were raised on new year

How much does a can of snuss cost in Sweden nowadays?

Thanks and Hyvää (pikku) Joulua!

I'm baby new year to snus, have only tried a few, but so far the differences seem profound.

Gustovas portions: found a couple of cans of this (rapidly approaching their "best if used before dates") in the bottom of the fridge today when I couldn't handle the Offroad anymore and was desperate for an option.

:? Offroad wintergreen strong portions: WAY too salty, got really slimey really quick. Biggest gripe is that it seemed to loose it's potency. I've been Jonesin' something fierce for the last few days, and that stopped when I dove into a can of Gustovas this afternoon when I got home from work. If that hadn't worked I'd have been at the corner store buying smokes again.

Grovsnus portions: could be specific to me, but this stuff ate my gums alive.


I smoked cigarettes 30 years and had tried everything but drawing pentagrams in goats' blood on old growth pine board floors to quit. I found this forum by accident a couple of months ago, and got my first order the first week in October. Been some incredibly uncomfortable days, and I still really enjoy a good cigar, but I'm still on track as far as I am concerned. Thanks for being a resource.

All portions: General and Ettan, Catch Licorice (yeah, I know, but still I love it), Catch Eucalyptus mini. Grov Maxi for the morning buzz.

[violins]

Portion: General White Portion
Lös: Grov Lös

And if you are interested in what's popular in Sweden...
It's General, Grov and Göteborgs Rapé. Those three are on the top with the fourth perhaps being kronan faaaaaaaaaaaar down on the list from those three though...

Hi All, new to forum- thought I'd answer RealmofOpeth's question.
The site that compares your itunes library to others and finds bands you might like or people with similar music tastes is ilike.com. Google is also doing something similar with music right now

Trailer Park Boys buddy. Awesome Canadian TV show... check it out

That just made my day!

[itchystiches]

I was thinking it would be great to set up a little website/database that consolidates all these post into a single place. Then people could find recommendations based on the snus they like or reviews on different types of snus. Kind-of-like a social network for snusers.

Can't remember the name of it, but there's a music site with a similar principle, it has some kind of programme that displays what other bands you'd probably like if you express an interest in a particular band. Anyone know it? It displays the results as a sort of floating spider diagram.

Sounds like it'd be perfect if it could be customised a little.

Coincidentally, I also tried N&J again tonight, and I was able to discern the sort of mint/menthol hint of flavor that others have mentioned. If it wasn't for the incredibly high nicotine content that gives me a headache if I introduce this into a chain-snussing session, this might be one of my all-day picks.

Yeah I don't get the mint/menthol bit when i first put it in. I would say it's non-existent. After a while of having it in, wanting to get flavor to come out more or nicotine....I'll mush it about...either take it out and mush it with my fingers and rebake the pris or sorta toss it around in my mouth then fit it back in place....only then the very noticeable menthol/mint takes place. it's like a secret flavor

Well, I really can't explain this, but I'm using a N&J portion right now and I'm having none of the burning-hair, soapy flavor. I also recall a hellacious burn on gums and lips with the N&J before.

This time, though, it's fine. Now that I'm thinking of it, I suspect I had just brushed my teeth and used a mouthwash and peroxide rinse - maybe I had a bad chemical reaction going.

[RealmofOpeth]

RealmofOpeth, yes, using portions.

yeah they're a bit nasty at first but after having them in for a while i remember the flavor coming out and it was pretty decent. sort of an acquired taste. i know when i first opened my portions can i was like wtf is that piss smell. try keeping them frozen to recover from the heating up they have had to deal with in the shipment.
at any rate, n&j loose is better than portions i think.
