Personal tastes compared

[nzkiwi]

Tried bacco original loose. Not bad for the price. I'm a sucker for bergamot and citrus. You could mix bergamot and citrus with mud and i'd like it. :lol:

I'm about to order a 5 or 10 can-set of Offroad Cranberry strong's, but are they any good? I've heard some bad stuff about offroad loose, but how's the taste with these? Can you speak of Offroad Cranberry and Skruf Cranberry in the same sentence? It's pretty damn cheap so it doesn't have to be a 100% copy of Skruf, but I'd appreciate if someone would tell me their experiences of this snus .

Just started using Snoose(snus), Experience is limited.

L.D original(red), Skruf tranbar, Kronan.

Knox, Granit, Level.

Kicks wild berry.

Have my eyes on lucky strike next(watch out).

Will update as experience broadens.

As for portions, I mostly use Kronan. Plus, they are so cheap, you really can't beat them. I mostly use them when I'm around people in public. Otherwise, I prefer loose snus. Thus far, I really like everything I've tried, except for Level (freebie with my last order from Buysnus a few months ago). I tried to like it, but it just never happened. A buddy of mine said it smelled "like poop". Sure, I finished the whole can, but I was throwing in extra fat cubes to get done with it!

tried: Loose: Knox, Roda Lacket, Goteborg's Rape, Gottlandsnus Grey, Gottlandsnus Julesnus, Kronan (all were solid)

Portion: Lucky Strike black, Ettan, Kronan, Strong Cut, Skruf Stark (all solid as well - nice burn from Skruf, nice tase from Lucky Strike)

I've got a loose mystery 10-pack ('the mix') on the way from buysnus right now. I can't wait to see what they've sent me! I sent in a request to not get any Level. If they send me three cans (the max they can send of any one with the mix, I will never buy from them again) I'll also get the free Nick and Johnny loose to try out. I like having a variety of loose snuses around to break up the routine. I get excited about my next pyramid.

p.s. If you're lost about my names for snus, see my other post on pet names for snus.

that's cool, I love snus too.

[victor meldrew]

I'm a very new snusser. I've tried several pouch of Ettan, and became quite green after 5 minutes...
Now, I enjoy my Mocca mint, Metropol Licorice, and purchased today mini Catch Dry Mini eucalyptus and licorice because of the good reputation and advised by a colleague completely addictive !
I bought Wise eucalyptus as well... to stay wise !

Nicotine shoot is nice. I quit cigarettes from now, definitly.

General Onyx, in a league of it's own.

[Zero]

Cool, like a mini-plus. Probably not my cup of tea - i've got two rolls of skruf stark in my freezer :lol:

[nzkiwi]

general silver is about 6mg/pouch. Probably about perfect for me.

skruf mini 5mg/pouch, not bad.

update!! I am now officially a large portion snuser.

General Onyx

General, Lucky Strike, Granit, Grovsnus, Gotesborg #1.

kronan, Roda. L, L.D original, catch mini cassis menthol.

Catch Eucalyptus. Don't have to many, perhaps some of the cans I have left in the freezer for to long.

I prefer white portion over regular portion. White portion keeps better.

[Zero]

Chopper's recommending you take a maxi-portion of harden the **** up :lol:

Seriously, though, I've not tried the silvers - are they like a light portion?

[nzkiwi]

Anyone like general silver. large protions have to much nicotine. I prefer the size of a large portion, but the nicotine of mini portion.

I know, I need to tough'n up.

Any experience with metropol licorice?

Oops. I guess I never check this thread out.
Yeah I've tried about three cans of Metropol licorice (loose, not the portions).
The taste is marvelous (*IF* you like licorice, which seems to be quite an acquired taste for people outside north/northwestern europe judging by what i've read).
Downside is that it's very powdery and doesn't clump well unless you aply plenty of pressure in the right places (no dirty thoughts now boys!).
Bacco licorice is just as powdery but coarser than Metropol. So if anyone's tried Bacco licorice loose: it's the most difficult loose I've ever had. Both are the prefect candidates to try with an Icetool.

Any experience with metropol licorice?

[Jono]

I usually use porion snus so all these are that type.

Grand XL, Probe Whiskey, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Diplomat, General.

Granit Maxi, Strong Cut, Skruf Stark,
Göteborgs Rapé No2, Kronan, General Onyx, Diplomat White, Catch White Eucalyptus, Catch Licorice, CatchDry Cassis Menthol, General Mini.

:? General Mild "Silver", Röda Lacket, Ettan, Ettan White, Röda Lacket, Tre Ankare, Tre Ankare White Mini.

I have found that my likes & dislikes change. This is probably due to both trying more types & reclaiming my taste buds after 20 years of smoking!
Still craving the nicotine kick so I'm liking the stronger/larger brands.
