All about snus and salt!

[snusjus]

Try Ettan Portions. I can't taste any kind of salt profile at all.

[sundog]

My least salty choice would be Ettan Portions, too. Just a bare hint of salt mixed with a lot of good tobacco taste.

But on these Summer days working outdoors, most anything makes me thirsty.

It took me a bit to become acclimated to the salt. In the meantime, in between yummy salt filled portions, here is a quick list of some lower salt portions in my opinion.

Lucky Strike
Retro
Skruf
Grovsnus
Ettan
Catch (Menthol/Eucalyptus or Licorice)
General Mini Mint

But like the others have said, you will not notice after a bit and in fact is adds a lot to the snus once your tastes get more acquired.

Retro and welcome

I've said this before, so forgive my repitition, but it's astounding to me how many people find Grov anything low on the salt spectrum. I love salt so much that I will literally take a drink from a freshly-opened bottle of soy sauce, and to me, grov original portions are like those little white salt packets coated in snus. I can't speak to the whites as I've not had them in a year or so, but original and los are extremely salty to me. But in a good way, because to a degree that's what I'm looking for. I guess I would concur with the Ettan suggestions, or even better IMO, something nice and bitter like Gotland Yellow, Jakobssons Original (dear god not the ice fruit) or Taboca. I detect very salt in those three commonly-themed sneese. Fine, snuses. Good luck!

Funny, I would say the same thing about Tre Ankre. Not bad but I just got mostly salt with a little tobacco. Yet others have suggested it as low salt. Go figure.

Truth be told, I just don't pay that much attention to the salt or saltiness of whatever I happen to have in at the time. I guess you really do acclimate.

I meant to get back to this...

Someone mentioned Lucky Strike as being on the lower salt side, and I've seen that mentioned before. Lucky's always struck me as being a saltier snus. It's curious how people perceive the same product.

The heavy salt taste in General and Grov

I have been alternating between General regular and Grov the last few days. It seems to be getting saltier. I thought someone said after a while the salt gets less noticeable. Maybe because I don't add any salt to my food is the reason the taste jumps out at me. I hate salty food. Not really enjoying the taste in my snus. Finished the can of General tonight and am glad.

I am starting to miss my regular dip some. Bought some Kodiak in the pouch and really enjoyed it. Hopefully, now that I am on to other flavors cans, I'll like the snus again because I like the low drip of it for work. Grov is even saltier than the General to me.

When I place my order to Getsnus to order my Discreet, I am going to order some regular Ettan and had thought about General Wintergreen but not I am not so sure after the experience with General regular and Extra Sterk. Any other suggestions that are lighter on the salt? I am also thinking about Offroad Cranberry and the wintergreen.

Oh by the way, I like both the Ettan and Prima Flint los. IceTool is awesome.

[justintempler]

I don't know if it is true in all cases but I noticed the salt content of portions tend to be lower.

Ettan lös 5% salt, Ettan portions 2% salt

[sagedil]

PMD, I think you are just still relatively new. Yeah, you might notice it a bit more than others, then maybe just takes a bit longer for it to recede for you.

Also, just try some other los too. I *think* General is relatively salty. Give Prima Fint a try. Don't remember much salt at all in that.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Give it more time IMO. I used to hate salt too, and Grov and General are salty for sure.

Now I love them, and I tend to add a bit more salt to my foods!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm Bacon!

[ProudMarineDad]

The Prima is good. I really like it but the Ettan is better tasting overall. I will try some of the others as well. Just was curious if anyone else had that problem. Is the General Wintergreen as salty as the others? I didn't notice much in the Onyx.

I don't even think we have a salt shaker in the house. I love pepper though.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Well, you do have to offset the extra salt with extra pepper!

Mmmmmmmmmm Pepper Bacon!

The wintergreen doesn't seem too salty to me, but I don't notice the salt taste in snus nearly as much as I did six weeks ago. I would have to say it seems less salty that the regular General portions.

You might also try the General dry mini mint. I don't like that these contain artificial sweetener, and leave a bit of a funky lingering aftertaste, but they are kind of sweet.
