Personal tastes compared

[Zero]

Skruf stark is a pure-tobacco snus - no added flavours so it's pretty plain. The fact that it's extra strong gives it more of a taste of just "potent" rather than so much a tobacco taste. Not the tastiest snus, for sure, but it's got kick. Nick and Johnny has a nicer flavour for a strong snus, I think.

I just tried Skruf original again after having had one a little bit ago and the funniest thing is, I can't taste it at all. It's weird. The first time I had it tastes like citrus but now it tastes like zilch.

Thats how it taste to me too. I had a whole roll go bad on me once because i just would not use it not because it tasted bad but because it did not seem to have a taste and I had other snus on hand.

Skruf Stark portions don't have much of a taste to me either.... well not a good taste. sort of a sour what's wrong with this stuff taste. i've never tried the loose stark so wonder how that is.

Thanks,you all have been a big help on this next order.So many people have spoke about original Goteborgs Rape that I just have to try it.I didn't at first because of the low nic content,but the taste must be great!Also will go with offroad strong cranberry and strongcut,thanks chainsnuser.Also will try offroad original loose and compare with the Goteborgs Rape loose and let you know know what I think Graig de Tering.Subtilo,I use to go eat at a place in Panama city on the ocean.The owner would always bring out a bottle of Ouzo,most people didn't like it.I did,but maybe that was after 3rd glass. :lol:
I am a little upset with you zero after your statement about 9/11,but I'll get over it.Still like you.

Take Care All
Wish us luck on our trip
Later,standfast

If you like lucky strike then definitely gotesborg no 1. Roda is nice and spicy also.

standfast: you should prolly also try the Montecristo .... fine + rich taste. I know you really can't compare Montecristo with Luckies, but for some reason I tend to place them in the same 'taste-area'. Maybe worth a try?

good idea,I thought about montecristo.I use to really enjoy a good cohiba from the humidor,of course big difference between a good cigar and snus.Will try it ,from what you say it sounds good.Thanks subtilo.

No problem.
A good cigar can be very nice, and I think that the Montecristo snus is a fine tribute to the taste of the MC-cigar. I wasn't the slightest bit disappointed with it. But when it comes to Romeo y Julieta it's another story. I tried the cigar a couple of times years ago and it was good. But when I tried the snus variant my sense of taste simply curled up in to a big question mark. There is a odd undermining taste of aniseed in it and I (still) find it more annoying than pleasing. I dunno why that is; I never had a problem with aniseed and I enjoy drinks like Pernod, Ouzo and Absinthe ... but when it comes to snus it just doesn't do the job for me.

BTW you should also also try the General Onyx. That's a special one.

Once again I'm nearly out of snus . I have this one can of Offroad Liquorice that's been hanging in my fridge for about a month now, it's really hard to describe how awfully sweet this is. Somehow I expected this to be at least a bit fresh, but what a disappointment. If you like Catch liquorice then give it a try and you'll appreciate the taste even more. And if not, forget you ever heard the name Offroad liquorice. I'm repeating myself but this is just awful :F .

I like it very much (Offroad Liquorice), although I think I know what you're referring to. It has a quite heavy taste but to me that doesn't equate with "not fresh".
Oh well.. it's still nowhere near Offroad original though.

Also anyone who understands my taste I would be very thankful if they could suggest some portions for my next order.Like taste and with a hard or good nic kick.As with loose I'm thinking about ordering some skruf tranbar.

As a Skruf Stark loose fan, you should definitely try the portions. The tobacco is, AFAIK, even stronger, nicotione-wise, than in the loose-variant. Offroad Strong Cranberry and Strongcut are also very tasty portions with a nice kick.

Skruf Tranbär is not my favorite cranberry snus, but it's high quality!

BTW, I still have to try the Skruf Stark Loose. Don't know, why I never ordered it. Think, I'm too happy with the portions.

Cheers!

Skruf is great stuff. My last two rolls have been skruf stark loose and portions - the former for home and the latter for work. Brilliant stuff, my favourite utilitarian snus. N&J is pretty damned good too.

Subtilo has some nice suggestions. Also, if you try the original Göteborgs Rapé (loose or pouch) also order a can of Offroad orginal strong portions and Offroad orginal loose and compare the three.

You haven't tried the original Göteborgs Rapé? It's really awesome IMHO, but now I've used it daily for two-three months and recently got very tired of it. At the moment I'm doing N & J, which is probably one of the best I've ever tried. Whoom, what a kick! And the taste! Wow!

I have a Skruf Tranbär in the freezer. Looking very much forward to taste it ... heard some good stuff about it.
