Phantom classic, think I'll like it?

[Skimo]

I just bought 10 tins... 19.95 + the random tin of possible goodness or supreme nastiness.

Ya'll think I'll like it?

My syringe can't wait!

I'm sure you know my answer. I swear by the stuff. If you do not like it, shoot me a PM and i'll take it off your hands

I voted yes, but you really should have a maybe category :^P

Phantom lös isn't bad. It's not my personal preference, but I chalk that up to difference in taste, as opposed to it being bad. Portions OTOH, I wouldn't recommend to anybody. That's some of the worst I've tried, and would use almost anything in preference to it.

[slartie]

I voted no, simply based on how funny that answer sounded sorry I couldn't help myself.

[Starcadia]

Probably. It's nasty.*

[TBD]

Of course you will like it. Anybody that doesn't like Phantom has screwed up taste buds. :roll:

Phantom Classic is good, if you like the other straight tobacco flavors you should like the Classic.

[Skimo]

thank you all for your input... I'll send pictures of me Snusing in ALASKA!

probably by next week

[Condor]

Im not a big fan of the classic, but I really like Phantom blue, if you havent tried that yet.

[Skimo]

one 10 pack at a time, I'm completely fine not haveing a choice in which snus to pop in... besides elyxir PE... I NEED that in the morning.

I have never tried the los since the portions scarred me for life, so I did not vote. :wink:

I will say that, with V2's los record, it cannot be anywhere near as bad as the portions. One day I will work up the courage to order some.

I voted yes based on this comment. Phantom will probably taste great in comparison to that stuff.....

Personally I think Phantom lös is overrated.

And its not like I didn't give it a fair shot. I really tried to see what the fuss was all about and used about 3/4 of a can before binning it. The windex-like smell put me off the most and seemed to permeate everything like cheap perfume. Not even the starks I use (N&J /Skruf / GES) have that strong an ammonia/windex smell.

The flavour wasn't bad (once I got over the smell) but still far far too artificial for my liking. As hard as I tried I could not pick up any of the flavour subtleties that others had referred to, just an artificial lemon taste.

I am not totally giving up on V2. Thanks to a friendly forum member I got my hands on a can of the Tobacco Top and I am interested in trying it. Will add a review to the others when I get round to it. I am also interested in trying the licorice lös, so will get some in the future.

That's pretty much my take on it. I wouldn't call it bad, it just doesn't click with me. If they release the Classic Brown lös, you should give that a try. It's pretty good, and my favorite Phantom by far.

I read your review of the Classic Brown lös and it sounded a lot more to my liking. I remember Patrick saying it will be available in a month's time (roughly). Anyone heard anything from Buysnus/Northerner? I've seen a few places on the net selling rolls of the stuff but I want to try a couple of cans first before committing to a roll buy.

They sent me 3 other tins after that review with some tweaks to the formulation. I really liked #3. It had more salt than the initial tin had. It still has that slight gin taste in the background, but the extra salt really woke it up.

If /I/ were developing it, I'd go for a different flavor profile, but the Brown's very good. It also fits well in the Phantom family, and isn't a drastic departure from it's siblings. All the Danish snus I've had(2 companies) has a similar base flavor. I guess it's the way they do things. Definitely different from the Swedish style.

[Skimo]

Ok, I've managed to lighten up on my snus use, I really like phantom (now labeled rothbrix)

only 4 tins of the stuff left, and after using so much lös I'm torn between the use of portions which are much easier to pop in and the extra snus I get by buying lös.

It still tastes great, I think it has a bit of an herbal chocolate flavor sans sweetness.

on a lark yesterday I found a tin of camel snus in the freezer... WOW it tastes like straight AS(S)PARTAME, I seriously had to spit it out.

I think I'll be ponying up the dough to get a roll of ettan lös next time.
