Heh. I didn't think you were giving me shit at all. I just can't believe I never noticed the rather noticeable "edit" button before. :lol:

Won't happen again.

[Soft Morning, City!]

Roda Lacket White Portion, General Portion, Ettan Portion, Göteborg Rape White Portion

Grovsnus Maxi (I like the taste, but the gigantic portion doesn't thrill me. I'd like to try the regular portion and perhaps the loose whenever I decided to order more.)

:? Camel, if you can even call it snus. What bullshit.

Today I ordered:

Roda Lacket White Portion (2 cans)
Goteborgs Rape No. 2 Portion (2 cans)
Goteborgs Rape White Portion (1 can)
Ettan Portion (1 can)
General Silver Portion (1 can)
General Portion (1 can)

I'll adjust my list accordingly after trying the Lucky Strike, General Silver, and Goteborgs No. 2.

On my next order I plan on ordering a can or 2 of loose to try!

Good to hear, La Cusiniere! Maybe another convert :lol:

[La Cusiniere]

I've only been snussing for about 3 weeks now and my first encounter with snus was the portion format. I grew to like these quite a bit. In my initial order (with BuySnus) I ordered a couple tins of loose. I was a bit put off by the manual "baking" process so I bought an Icetool later. As soon as I got the Icetool, I opened a tin of General, and after a lot of fooling around with the portioning of the loose snus, I had a nice pris under my lip.

My impressions: instant flavour, faster, bigger nicotine hit, you can leave it in for a long time with a little tongue work. :wink:

I've finished the General and now I'm into a Nick and Johnny tin. I think that my preference is turning to loose.

[Raymond]

Not much interest in the loose category. Why not? It takes a while, but with some time and practice it can be controlled (as opposed to turning to mud). I find that the loose is much more flavorful than the portions, although I haven't tried a whole lot. I'm still favoring Skruf and Gustavus, but I've got a couple of Grov too. Nice.

Took some time getting use to the texture, and upper lip and all, but once ya do... it's the only way to go (personal opinion, at least).

Just took a pris of Gotlandssus (via the Icetool - what a great gadget). Once adjusted it'll keep for as long as I want. I will continue to sing the praise of loose snus over portions. Anyone else?
