    Expand my horizons!

    So, I've moved on from Camel Frost, and I'm working on an order from getsnus, of General original, General white, and Skruf stark. All fairly decent, in their own way, and I'm pretty sure that General original portion is going to be my go-to snus for a while, at least.

    But, in the interests of fairness, I'm looking to expand on these for the next order. Due to space considerations, I'd like to keep the orders to 5 cans or less for now, and, for a while at least, portions only. I've been known to screw up cold cereal in the past, god only knows what would happen if I tried to use lรถs.

    So, with that in mind, and the fact that I've tried Camel Frost, General original, General white, Skruf stark, and Grand Prix original (which is a definite no-go again), any suggestions on what to try next? The order will probably be a can or 2 of General original, and then it's partly up to you, so impress me, or at the very least, keep me from wandering astray.

    Try Grov Original portions for a straight tobacco and salt flavor. After that the flavors that make other snus unique will be more apparent. I found it a good starting place at least. Never tried Camel, but from what I understand it's very sweet. I'm not one for sweet, so no recommendations there, but I say try Grov. It's no-nonsense snus. If you don't like Grov or Ettan, those are good indications that your taste leans more toward the sweet or citrus-y. Or that you are insane :wink:

      Many here are going to disagree with me, but if you want a sweeter snus...

      Skruf Cranberry.

      I know, I know. Calm.. just CALM DOWN!

      I tried one for the first time today as a relatively new snuser and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know why everyone here disses on it. Sure, it's not TRADITIONAL, but it IS Snus from a very respected manufacturer.

      I thought it tasted like a fruit roll up. My friend thought it tasted like the berries in Cap'n Crunch. We both thought it was delicious.

        Phantom Blue is well worth trying, especially at the low price.

          Skruf Cran is pretty good, but Offroad Cran is sweeter and still a good flavor.Los is better than the portions. Phantom Blue is great but not real sweet.

            What's the point of buying five cans at a time? There must be some room in your fridge to store at least 10 cans. If you want to save money, order snus by the roll (10 cans of the same snus). You will usually save about 20%. If I were you, I'd buy a roll of General Portions for your next order. Most Swedes stick with General their whole life and never try anything else.

              Well, for a while at least, I'd like to see what else is out there. Eventually, I do plan to go the roll route, but for now, I'd rather sample and see if there's anything else that I like.

                I'm also very new myself, but I would recommend General Onyx and Claq Qui from Roda Lacket. These were the two that impressed me the most from my first order.

                  No need for a roll...

                  Just order a sampler box... Be bold and try it. You never know what jems you'll find. If you begin to like Snus (a lot) - 5 cans won't cut it and you'll be Jonesing for more right away.

                    I would suggest trying Roda Lacket, and Goat Rape #1&#2, they're awesome, slightly sweet, with good flavors....I really enjoy all of those, but everyone's tastes are different.

                      So, here it is:

                      2 cans General original portion
                      1 can Roda Lacket white portion
                      1 can Jakobsson's Icefruit portion
                      1 can Skruf original portion
                      1 getsnus can o' mystery

                      See how long this lasts me, and then bump up the next order accordingly
