Personal tastes compared

[Big_andy_25]

Im just a beginner so my taste seems to be evolving a bit at the moment so this may change in the future. However these might be useful to other beginners.

I really like Skruf tronbar, Göteborgs Rapé, General, Ettan

Ok snus for me is General White, GrovSnus, Catch Eucalyptus

I really didnt like Röda Lacket. It made me drool like a St Bernard and I swallowed loads of juice and got the hiccups. Tasted ok so might try it again but not for a while.

So far I havent had any problems with sore gums, juice (except Roda Lacket) and I am starting to really taste the snus now I am off the ciggies and am begining to taste again.

Just got a Tre Ankare portion on the go and its quite nice.

Problems so far:

I am using the large portions which seem to have just the right amount of nicotine for me but seem a little big for my mouth. They are fine when I am sitting working but when I smile or laugh they make me look weird or pop out. I think I might get used to it and am experimenting with positions in the mouth at the moment. That or stop smiling. :wink:

I keep falling asleep with them in and they taste foul when I wake up. After about an hour I have to take them out usually.

Actually the Tre Ankare is giving me loads of juice now. :shock:

Got a can of Roda Lacket today, and I can't taste it at all. Same for Ettan.
Can't taste anything at all, good, bad, or neutral.

General is very nice though. The slight peppery taste with the lemon is quite nice indeed. Very well balanced.

Well I think I have tried enough now to post my favs.
loose unless otherwise stated

Skruf stark, Nick and Johnny (loose and portion), Gustavus, Lucky Strike portion, LD red, Kronan

LD blue portion, all Granit portion, Probe (not on top only because it falls apart too fast IMO), Level, Knox, Diplomat

LD gold portion, Catch portion series (too sweet for me), I haven't really had too much I don't like so far.

UPDATED (only portions)

Catch dry licorice, Wise Citrus, Tre Ankare Mini,
Skruf Mini Cranberry (the best but a bit too strong)

Catch dry Eucalyptus, Catch Licorice (not dry), Metropole Licorice

LD Mini Citrus, Mocca Mint, Wise black (disguting burned taste)

To be tasted : Goteborg Rape Mini

Anyone like rocker? I bought a can of citrus and menthol. The menthol wasn't bad, has a slight numbing(cooling) sensation on the gums. I think rocker will become competitive now that they have money behind them(reynolds).

[cavy]

hmmmmm i can' t choose!

LOOSE

: Rallarsnus/Skruf stronge/Roda L./Diplomat/Ettan/General/Probe/Metropol L.

: Grov snus/Gallivare (2 kilo box with different taste oiles)

:shock: : all the rest, tried the most and not that they are totally bad, but as longe as i can choose! :wink:


PORTION:

: ALL the Skruf brands/Catch Black/ All the General's/Grov Snus/Diplomat/Granit Maxi/ Ettan/Probe.

: Göeteborg Rapé

:shock: : well the same as with loose, tried alot of different ones that i would say wasent bad, but just dident do anything for me!

For me, Nick & Johnny is the absolute best Snus. I was looking for a Snus that was comparable to Cope Snuff, and N&J is better in every way.

Offroad licorice is nice as well, although the very strong aroma gets to be a bit too much towards the end of a can. Flavor is very good, no overpowering, and the price is right.

Loose

Ettan, Landstroms
General, Skruf, Probe
:shock: Roda Lacket, Goteborgs Rape,

Large Portions

Ettan, Rape No.2,
Diplomat, Skruf, R & J, Onyx
:shock: General

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.

Maybe in the summer when I have more time

[victor meldrew]

only portions
Catch dry licorice, Wise Citrus, Tre Ankare Mini
Catch dry Eucalyptus, Metropole Licorice
LD Mini Citrus, Mocca Mint, Wise black (disguting burned taste)

Hi all,
tried quite a few varieties over the past year or so. I've tried both loose and portions. I prefer portions, mainly for the convenience and because I haven't found a way of 'politely' removing loose snus from behind my lip. I usually end up with my head in the sink.
Anyway, here are my comments on the most 'memorable' brands:

General Onyx, Goteborgs Rape, Strongcut, LD mini
Nich & Johny, Catch dry (various flavours), Mocca (mandarin), Gustavus
:cry: Roots, Kicks

Heading to Austin, Tx in a couple of weeks so hoping to try Camel snus if is is still being sold over there.

Cheers.

Catch portions are too sweet for me . I think that even snus that has some added flavour should taste like snus, if I want a candyish taste in my mouth I'll just go buy candy :P . So I don't have too much experience of flavoured mini portions, and I think our snus-tastes are pretty far from each other so be aware of that. Anyway, here's what I think of some snuses on your list:

General is pretty good. I think that if can says "General", it's almost 100% sure quality. Not too sweet IMO. Tre Ankare is pretty decent stuff, nothing special but nothing to be disapointed about. Oliver Twist isn't actually snus, it's some kind of chewing tobacco. Small black pieces that I put under my lower lip, pretty fun to use for a while but that's it. For a long-term use they'll get pretty boring and there's very little -if none- nicotine.

[victor meldrew]

What about (saltiness, sweeteness, etc)
General Mini White Portion Citrus ?
LD Mini Portion Citrus ?
Tre Ankare Mini Portion ?
Piccanell ? which one is the swetest ?
Oliver Twist Citrus ?

Thanks for your useful pieces of advices.
I've opened Catch Dry Mini Licorice : very great taste.
Catch Dry eucalyptus : not so bad, but not so good.

Wise is my prefered portion for the moment (I know, it sounds like a baby snusser...).
