    the only whites ive had have all been fruity snus, roda, gote rape, and catch, so im definitely ordering some new whites next order. i was for a while gravitating toward more regular portions, but im coming to see now that theres a time and place for everything, and for work id rather have whites. and the only white i have that i feel like i can have whenever is roda. i love ettan so i might try some ettan white, and maybe grov and general. ive been going back and forth on general regular portions. ill probably try the swedish camel whites, and the skruf original whites. basically my orders looking like whites and los of the portions i already decided i like.

      From what it appears your top ones are (Camel sweedish, Lucky's, and Granit), I think you've probably already had the best of that line of flavor and quality.

      From all the others I have tried, nothing else (besides the old pall malls) has been close to those 3 you've already tried and like.

      I agree Lucky's are bit too salty, but they are definitely good. Just not 'all the time' good. Can here and there and you'll stay in love.

      The Ettan's had too much of a...i don't know, kind of 'puke-y', or straight-tobacco taste to them. Roda Lacket, although not bad, has very little flavor according to my palette (same with General and Skruf).

      Personally: Granit White is #1.

        I'd have to say Grov White. It's been a regular order for me lately because as I've mentioned before it is one of the few white portions IMO that comes close to the lös taste.

        The Skruf White is also excellent, but I prefer the regular portions.

        I also enjoy Ettan White. I know everyone says it is nothing special (or terrible), and I agree that it is nowhere near as good as the lös, but I still enjoy it and throw in a can or two every couple of orders. There is something about the simplicity of it that I love.

        I don't enjoy Retro White (sorry Sage) or LS white at all. The LS white tastes like a more salty version of the Retro White to me, and for some bizarre reason I pick up this slight soapy taste with both. No idea why but it really puts me off so I won't order it again.

        Granit White isn't bad especially for the price, but I think I prefer General White. I have burned out a bit on General White though - I get it for about $25 a roll in South Africa whenever I am down there so I've tended to have rolls of it in my fridge for ages.

        RL White is another one that I don't enjoy at all. Just too sweet for my liking, but I do enjoy the lös - although I wish the grind was coarser...

          Based on my limited experience, if I HAD to choose only ONE snus forever, right now, it would be Ettan Vit. Grov White would be my next choice.

            I really like the General Whites. They are a good all day snus for me.

                          I've tried a lot of different types over the past few months as a snus user. I think I finally settled on Roda Lacket and General White as being my favorites. I like others, but I think these are going to be my go to, daily snuses.

                          I definitely prefer whites to originals though. I don't like how quick the flavor goes with originals, and the extra juice irritates my stomach and gives me heartburn.

                            I definitely go through more Roda Lacket than anything right now. I think you'll like it, especially since you liked Claq.

                            Gotlandssnus Green is a decent white as well, if you're into the fruitier flavors. It has a nice apple taste.

                            The good thing about both of those is that they're not too strong with the flavor. You still get tobacco goodness and the flavor doesn't seem artificial or overpowering.

                            I like Grov whites as well. They're more pure in their tobacco flavor than General, but I have a feeling Grov would be hit or miss.

                            I have Lucky strike, Granit and Retro in transit right now. I ordered them last friday, so hopefully, they'll be waiting for me tonight. I'll post a little something about them when I get a chance to try them.

                            Edit - I lied, I have Gustavus coming in that order, not Retro. I'm going to have to try it now because of Sage's ecstatic endorsement.
