The first one I can not finish

[outsidelinebacker20]

I am working my way through most all of the looses to find my favorites and I just opened the Probe Wiskey. Blaaaaqqqqq! Is that how it is supposed to taste. Ehhh. Not good. The 9 on the back in 2009 looked a little like an 8. Can not be though. It came in the Swedish Match sample box with others that are not very old. As my step daughter used to say: "ick". I think I am going to have to deep six it. I am in Cologne, so this stuff is not cheap with the taxes, but even I can not finish this. In the round file it goes. So much for all Swedish Match tastes the same to me. :-)

Probe is quite sweet and is definitely alone in style in the swedish match lineup. I usually recommend it to people looking for a sweeter snus, but if you fancy peaty and salty it's certainly not the alley to be looking down.

First one I couldn't finish was Nick and Johnny East.

The only can I could't finish was LD Guld Lös, now discontinued.

Probe definitely needs some getting used to, I guess it took 3 weeks till my first can was finished, but when it was finished, I was a fan of the stuff.

It's a quality snus with a strange initial taste, but if you keep this snus for longer than a quarter of an hour, the taste becomes fantastic.

Cheers!

i contacted buysnus about the "2008" on my can too, Emilie told me their whole batch of Probe lös was misprinted by the SM factory, I thought the same thing, sure as hell looks like "2008" to me, but my Probe was fresh, it seems to be a love or hate lös, and I löve it. Try adding a capful of vodka to it and letting it stew in the fridge, seems to moisten up even a fresh can better for easier hand baking.

File 13 it quickly!


I'm not a fan of probe either.

Heh, I knew it would be either Phantom or Probe before I even clicked on the thread. :P Those two are the only ones I have ever tossed, other than a tin of N&J that had sat in my fridge until well past the expiration date.

I got a can with my last mix, so I've given it another go, knowing more what to expect and it's not half bad really.

[Slydel]

Yes, from all of the reviews Probe is a love/hate snus. I love it. It is my only roll of los snus that I have ever purchased. I like the sweeter flavor that it has. I am not a fan of the standard ho-hum snus that is out there. I think General and Grov are ho-hum, definitely not worth the price. Now Ettan, is worth every penny. Subtle, soft snus that hits the spot just like Probe does, although it is not subtle in flavor.

I actually just got a can of probe whiskey today as my "free mystery can" from getsnus.com. I have to say it is the only sweet snus that I like out of the ones I have tried so far. to each his own though, good thing there are plenty of flavors to choose from.

[Starcadia]

Can anyone describe what Probe actually tastes like? It's not whisky, that's for sure. More like some weird candy liqueur. I liked it for about half a can.

As far as other cans I haven't been able to get through, the Gotland's varieties have gotten tossed very quickly, even though my first pinch of Yellow was fascinating. I need to buy a can of Yellow loose again soon so I can re-experience that first taste then toss the rest of it.

Also, General Sterk I couldn't get through a can. BORING.

[holnrew]

Green comes in loose?

[Starcadia]

I'm sorry. Must've been yellow. It tasted like it was green, like freshly cut grass. Edited.

[Tyr]

for some reason it tastes kind of like honey roasted peanuts to me.
