Brand Loyalty ?

[snusjus]

The only three brands I use consistently are General, Granit, and Grovsnus. There must be something with brands starting with the letter "G".

[sagedil]

I certainly have snus that is my main "go to" snus. Retro being the most obvious example. But I still insist on using at least 10 others throughout the month. Far different than with cigarettes.

Sure, I may buy a different pack occasionally, especially when I was poor and following sales. But whenever I wasn't, I bought the same thing day after day. Being consistent with cigarettes was just better for me. Snus is just completely opposite

[MojoQuestor]

If the Gotlandssnus Fläder continues to hit me the way it did this evening, I'll be brand-loyal for sure.

It won't, though. And then something else will. Snus seems to be funny that way. This is, by the way, not a complaint.

Variety is the spice of life , ehh ? :lol:

I have a long journey and many , many , different kinds of snus to try before I can attempt to narrow it down to my top 5 :roll: . What everyone has posted so far makes sense , because everyone will be different . Some like blondes ,some like brunettes , I like em both . At the same time .

Funny thing is , right now I can't see myself ever sticking to a single kind or two . With so many varieties of snus available I feel I would be depriving myself . Plus with my luck , I'll find one I love , swear off all others , they will stop making it and I will get my heart broken . Just like our friend Sage .

[sagedil]

No my friend, too wise to the ways of snus to get my heart broken. Yes, NOT easy. But as in the other parts of my life, I know I will find love again.

Like a girl now, like LD White. But too soon yet to know if either is real. But I never lose faith I will fall in love again. :wink:

My tastes have narrowed quite a bit. I think I can accurately say that I dislike more brands than I like.

It would help if they'd stop discontinuing the ones I use most; I know Sage will agree with me there... :wink:

[sagedil]

It's funny, I agree with everything.

I think you hit the nail right on the head. For the most part, it is just snus I have decided I didn't like much. My flavor profile I want is so much narrower now then it once was.

And yet Level has a bright future

I was referring to your love affair with Retro White . :P

45 cans, General ekstra Stark and Claq qui, so I would say after 14 months, I have narrowed down to 2.

When I smoked I would alternate between 3 (Marlboro,Camel, and Winston)
Glad that I am not dependent on them anymore!

[GenuineSpirit]

After posting that I just looked at my avitar and I guess I need to change the pic, as you can see my favs have changed.

[chossy]

I think the American usage of many brands is because of internet availabilty. If snus was at the local gas station, I think we'd be more inclined to mainly use our fave brand.

That's it! I've never heard anything else but that's it's hard to find special brands in local stores in Sweden. Most shops carry General and Ettan, the bigger shops additionally maybe Röda Lacket or Göteborgs Rapé. In the rural areas that might be even narrowed to the respective lös-varieties.

Cheers!

That´s not quite true anymore, in the past, yes, for sure.

Even in my small neighborhood shop i can buy atleast 15 brands.

In rural areas, probably very narrow choice, but that´s also becuase nobody is asking for anything else than the same ol General. Slowly the SM monopoly is loosing it´s tight grip.

[daruckis]

thats good news man! im starting to like a lot of the non SM products.

Yes, and my love affair with my wife Laura that lasted 17 years until that was snatched away from me too. But I know I will find new love again. Both in snus and in life. :wink:

I concur.

After almost 2 years now, I'm down to a few. Ettan lös and Grov(White or Black) are in every order. GR is usually there in one form or another. I like Gotlands green in the summer, and grey in the fall. All the rest are usually one or two cans when the mood strikes.
