What's in your mouth right now?

Helwit Cola! Much more mild in nicotine than the Mocha or Blueberry, and not as sweet. It has hints of cinnamon (maybe, no migraine so it might not be artificial cinnamon if it is), maybe menthol…I don’t know. It’s good and it is a contender…let’s see how it plays out. (Also, pushed the blueberry down a peg…sorry Blueberry.) Mocha is still at the top.

More Mustang. I’m gonna have to finish this tin to get to my other tins of los on deck.

Mustang with coffee this morning!

A small pinch of Röda Lacket before bed. Good stuff.

General los

I put in a big pinch of Kronan, I usually do smaller prillas,,,but not too small, and it rocked my shi…stuff. I’ve seen it billed as 7.5mg/g, but I’m not familiar with Swedish Match dots for strength. Is this a los sterk?

Mustang los. It’s good.

Kronan los and more double bergamot tea.

Too bad I don’t like Kronan with my coffee, it’s really good. Never had the portions tho…

I just popped in a Helwitt Blueberry 10 minutes ago I as I’m getting ready for bed (well to lay down in bed and doom scroll). Tastes like blueberry cotton candy? I’m sure on the candy, not so much on the blueberry…or the cotton. Super sweet, didn’t know exactly what to expect…but Premium Parrots you were spot on, it sure doesn’t taste like blueberry in any traditional sense of the flavor…and I don’t know what it tastes like either.

Also, this one hit me kinda hard and I got a little sweaty and had to take it out. I’ve been using los all day, I’ll try again after a snus break when I feel a craving and see how it hits then and try and sus out the flavor a little better.

Besides the slide issue or just being able to hit the head to get it out when you want, I had some looks even using anything but a mint type when working alongside some folks. I got that "what in tarnation smell is that I just smelled" look when using say even a general white. I cant smell all that good, but apparently some people have dog type sniffers.

I usually have something to drink with me, coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and I carry my big water bottle everywhere…and often maintain a pretty good distance from others in the office and only use portions there when the boss is in or I’m sitting in an all staff meeting.

I really need portions when I’m working with clients, and nobody has mentioned smelling my snus yet…but I’ve been using those Lundgrens portions at work and they are pretty inoffensive…but I wish they made the Norrland Slim still. That might be my favorite flavor I’ve had from them, and their slim portions are pretty good. The perforated ones are weird and drip quicker and heavier than I like, and I got Norrland Stark in the regular size so I barely use it. Too strong, but the flavor is great. I am working up a portion order probably pulling it in the coming week to try to find a workhorse portion…but with Skruf not shipping to the US right now it’s a little harder. I really like Skruf los and portions.

Once I have one or two each of the “I like this all the time” los and portions picked out, I’ll be able to start building a snus-log cabin in my feeezer.

Chewbacca recommended the XR range to me for portions and I’m planning a general, a GR, and a catch mint to try cause sometimes I need portions at work. I’d use los all the time if I could but I can’t risk a mudslide at certain times.

Cool. Will keep an eye out on your GR review. I really like the Prima Flint, but cannot remember if I have had the GR los or not. If I am remembering right, I had the GR portions and thought they tasted like pine.

I got both Goteborgs: the Rapé and the Prima Fint. Haven’t had either in maybe 10 years, lmk which one you want to know about and I’ll put it on the “next out of the freezer spot”. It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted some of these, I actually don’t think I ever tried Prima Fint…and I hated GR last time I tried it according to a ten year old statement in the review thread. Not sure why, I was probably pissed that they discontinued Phantom Blue and GR didn’t taste like it. I really fell off snus when I couldn’t find a daily los replacement for Gotlands Gul los and both the Taboca and the Phantom los lines disappeared, so I just moved to using nasal snuff…but kept finding myself buying and smoking cigarettes when I wanted more nicotine than I could get out of HDT…so after my fifth round of going back to smoking for a couple months, I’m back to snus 100%. I plan to post a fresh review of each tin as I go through them and hot takes in this thread, so I have a project for the next couple of months.

Btw, saw your post on Los but didnt chime in because Im kind of conservative and stick with the staples usually. Is that some Goteborgs los you got? What you think of that?

Go get in that thread! I’d like to hear about what you use as staples, although I’m technically an old timer, I’m approaching this round as a newbie because I still don’t know what I like out of what’s around now a days. Send me back 14 years or so and I’d buy 100 tins each of Gotland Gul, Phantom Brown, Phantom Blue, Taboca los, and Thunder frosted minis every month until I had enough to last two lifetimes lol.
