Same thing in a different can?

[dave1]

Is it just me or does Goteborg's Prima Fint taste like Ettan los. I love both and have went through enough of each and I swear they are the same thing with different packaging. Do you guys agree?

From what I know the Prima Fint is ground much much finer. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Swedish Match grades their tobacco into three separate grinds, blending these to make each snus.

I notice a difference between the texture of Ettan and Prima Fint.

I think you're pretty much spot on about them tasting very much alike.

They both taste of tobacco, salt, and not much else. Very good.

I get more of a Röda Lacket taste off Prima Fint. I don't particularly care for Ettans (although I need to try it once more as I'm starting to notice differences in taste more), but I've really liked the flavour of Prime Fint from the start.

[sagedil]

I think they taste nothing alike.

[justintempler]

There is a difference in the grind. Prima being much finer.
I get flavor from Ettan whereas from Prima I get none.

There is a definate difference between the two.

This^^

I think the Prima Fint uses most of the same ingredients, but less of them.

If any 2 were close, I'd say Röda lös and Ettan were closest. Röda's a good bit finer ground, but close in flavor imo.

Roda and Prima Fint are nowhere close to each other. Roda los kinda has an old fruit taste. Granted Prima Fint is ground a little finer(not by much if any) I swear it tastes like Ettan. People are different I guess

[shikitohno]

I only say Röda Lacket's the closest, because I get a somewhat sweet flavour from both of them. From Ettans, I usually get a flavour very much similar to what my spit tastes like normally. Like I said, I need to try another can, but I didn't get anything off the last can of Ettans I tried.

The difference in taste, or even the ability to taste certain compounds, is genetic.

yeah dude, i think roda and ettan taste almost exactly the same.

Amazing how different Röda is from portion to lös isn't it? They're 2 completely different products, and I'm not really sure why they did that. People that like one have a very good chance of not liking the other. It would be like really digging Gotland Gul lös, then tying the portions and finding they taste like licorice O.o

[daruckis]

yeah i had no idea going into los that roda lacket would be so different. its still a great snus, but for a minute there i was convinced that los was all toned down in taste, because i was getting none of what id come to think of as the roda lacket flavor. which in itself is weird because obviously the los existed first. :? still, i like both quite a bit. i think its weird theres no roda lacket regular portions.

I can actually taste Ettan; Prima Fint has no detectable taste to me, unless I keep it it for a long time and pay close attention. The grind is also much different, as stated already.

[daruckis]

yeah i kind of feel like the only difference between ettan and roda, is i get juice from ettan, and roda i only taste if i tongue excessively or mudslide it.
