General Ekstra Sterk vs Odens Extra Stark Original Los

[ProudMarineDad]

What's the better of the two? I have tried Oden's and really liked it but was wondering how it compares to the General's. With the two local cigar shops getting the General, I would hope once Swedish Match starts selling more of their line that I could get their version if I liked it.

I didn't particularly care for Oden Kanel ES portions. I wonder if I would like their Kanel los?

Thoughts?

I thought Odens Kanel los was OK, I do think I liked it more than the portions, even though I am more portion oriented. I didn't have the ES though, just the classic. I have not had any General Los, so I don't know. I have a can of Oden ES original los, but haven't opened it, as I have an open can of Phantom Brown los now, and really don't use los that much.

For me, the General is better. It has (to me) a better flavor. I grew to appreciate it more as time went on, whereas Oden's kind of went down a little, seeming a bit gritty and waxy. It stomps a little harder, though. I should really try each one again, but those are some I have used up (3 cans of GESL, just one of the Oden's) and all the rest are in the freezer. I am trying not to break open any more cans, although I did just crack open a can of Probe portions a few minutes ago.

If I have one of those bleary-eyed mornings where I just need all the nicotine in the world, I would use the Oden's ES.

I only have those mornings on the days that end in "Y".

I prefer the Oden's. General ES is a tad to spicy for me early in the morning, plus I like Oden's tobacco more. It's a close thing tho'
