Personal tastes compared

[chainsnuser]

I found also that it's not so appropriate for permanent use, in contrast to snus.

Could you explain why it's not so appropriate for permanent use ?
Is it stronger in nicotine than a mini snus ?

Talking about Oliver Twist Original, it is very tasty, but it produces quite acrid juices and sometimes causes me heartburn. Be sure to always have something to drink, when you use it. I haven't tried the other Oliver Twist brands.

German chew is more convenient for the stomach, but it's a hard-to-find niche-product, even in Germany, and it's quite sweet - I would'nt like to use it all day.

Two bits of OT have about as much nicotine as a Standard Portion of Skruf Stark, but it seems to be absorbed more slowly. A very pleasurable nicotine-impact IMHO.

I noticed the heartburn feeling that you describe.

I tried the Licorice. And Picanell violet also, that is much better.

Exactly, I agree, it's a slow shoot product, with a very pleasurable and smooth impact.

Could I order a roll of this please?

Hi everyone! I'm new here and very happy I found this forum!

I started out by ordering the "try out box" from Northerner, so I am pretty disposed towards the mini white portions:

Portion:

Catch dry licorice, Catch dry Eucalyptus, Wise Citrus (5 stars!), Mocca Mint, Goteborg Rape Mini white

:? Catch dry cassis menthol

Anything non dry white


Just had my first experience with loose snus.... ops: Hilarious - probably merits a post of its own, although disclaimer will be that I am not to be held responsible for aching ribs due to too much laughter... But back to the topic, I tried RL, and really liked it. Nothing to compare it to yet though!

Hi everyone! I'm new here and very happy I found this forum!

Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of snus Post your story but don't worry I think we all have had embarrassing lös snus moments.

I've only tried General, Lucky Strike and Skruf Stark so far.

Skruf is probably my favorite, really bites.

In terms of Lucky Strike, I regret having bought 3 tins. It's VERY mediocre, I think when people say this it's an understatement. The flavor doesn't last nearly as long as General at the least and I feel it doesn't deliver nicotine, I for some reason even feel General supplies me with more. So anyone who wants to try it, buy only a tin-even if you liked Lucky Strike Cigs like I did- and call it a day.

[Zero]

The flavour of the luckies is plain - just mildly toasted, so it's not flavoured with non-tobacco flavour like general. General is also a bit stronger than most other "average" snus and skruf stark is considerably stronger than average snus. So I wouldn't say lucky is a weak snus, it's just that you're comparing it to heavier hitters.

[chainsnuser]

Lucky Strike is no favorite of mine either, but I think it is a quality-snus with a unique and subtle flavor. I found it to be equal with the General in points of flavor-durability and nicotine-content, if not better. But, as I think, snus is quite a subjective matter.

The best suggestion IMHO is to always order only one tin of a brand, that you don't know. For some brands, I also would have regretted, if I had ordered three tins instead of one.

BTW, I couldn't stand Lucky Strike Cigs. Maybe that's why I think, their snus is o.K. :lol:

Cheers!

I agree completely. It's the only snus I've had that actually tastes like the aroma of dry tobacco in cigarettes. Other than that, I can't say it's a very satisfactory snus (nicotine-wise).
Maybe with 2 pouches at once. :lol:

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.

[chainsnuser]

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!

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.

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.

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 .
