    Staying with the Swedish style, I would say Probe is the sweetest, and maybe Gustavus is saltiest. I'm not sure about the salty, all of the brands seem fairly uniform in that regard.

      I'd have to say Phantom. It's both the sweetest and saltiest. Tastes horrid.

      EDIT: sorry I said offroad earlier, I meant Phantom.

        Ettan loose is intensely salty, but I would agree that the salt levels of the different brands of snus are pretty much uniform. I would imagine that many of the flavoured snus are probably sweet

        Try them all!

          I agree on the Phantom taste. It was totally horrid for me too. It is the only can of snus that I have thrown away still almost full cause I hated it so bad. I'm a huge fan of the salt taste but Phantom to me tasted like what Windex smells like. If that makes sense.

          I honestly think General has the perfect balance of salt and bit of sweet.

            My first snus were Catch Eucalyptus, and I was surprised at just how salty they tasted. Perhaps in the grand scheme of things, they are not particularly salty, but it certainly gave me a bit of a shock. I am not too keen on a desperately overpowering salt taste, so I was delighted when I tried Nick and Johnny Loose and found it to be infinitely more to my taste. Goteborg Rape is nice too, not too salty, but with a hint of a floral/herb overtone. I think that trying new snus is very much like wine tasting :lol:

              MORNA:

              I thought the same thing the first time I tried Nick & Johnny. I don't mind salt, but too much of it makes my mouth feel all funny and dried out, especially in regards to loose snus. Consequently, Nick & Johnny is my favorite loose, with Goteborgs Rape and Skruf Stark tied for second. If you haven't tried Skruf, give it a shot. I was expecting it to be salty for some reason, but quite the contrary. It's very easy on my mouth and tastes great.

              However, there are certain salty brands that I just couldn't live without, Ettan for instance. I just tend to use them with less frequency than the others. Still, I always have a few cans around. Prima Fint is kind of salty as well, but I love it no less.

                Hi Soft Morning, City

                I think you are a man with excellent taste It seems that we have Nick and Johnny, and Goteborgs Rape in common as favourite los snus. The contrast in terms of saltiness between Nick and Johnny and the first portion snus I tried couldn't be more pronounced. I have hypertension which is totally under control with medication, and I check it regularly myself at home. Even though my blood pressure is normal with the meds, I try to avoid a lot of salt if I can help it.

                It seems to be a recurring theme that snusers who like Nick and Johnny also like Skruf, so I will certainly be ordering some in the new year. As it is, I have a 10 can roll of Nick and Johnny coming soon, so I will be sorted for the next few months

                Cheers

                Steve

                  Sweetest would be anything by Offroad.

                  Saltiest for me would be Roda Lacket, mostly becuase salt is all I taste there.
