Coarse vs Fine

[Kindrd]

I thought that I was firmly in the Coarse Lovers group until this weekend when I tried my first pris of Prima Fint. I love this snus. Unlike how it is advertised, I found it to have a strong tobacco flavor. Very nice. I went through the tin in two days.

When first starting to use loose, I preferred coarse ground. The coarse was easier to hand bake, and seemed to last longer with the ice tool. I've since tried and enjoyed the finer ground offerings and decided that each brand/style has it's own attributes. I like the diversity of the different brands. Who knows what the future wil hold relative to my snus enjoyment.

One day at a time, happy snusing !!

I'm a big fan of the finer ground snus. I found that Prima Fint and Roda Lacket are the most fine I've tried. Hopefully, someone will let me know if there are other finely ground snus' available.

I find it interesting, perique, that you find hand-baking easier with the more course ground snus. I find the exact opposite to be true. I'm into a tin of Goteborgs Rape' right now and am having a difficult time baking a firm pris from it. I did find that Ettan is quite easy for me to hand bake, but this GR is trying my last nerve.

Ettan is pretty finely ground, General a bit less so.

I have not tried the RL loose yet, it is one of only a few. My next order is going to be a ways off though. I need to work through the 8 rolls I have now.

I like both, ettan is good, so is grov.

I really don't have any favs here.

the taste is a bigger thing for me.
But the more grounded stuff seams to run quicker.

You're right, Cook. Ettan and General are finer cut than, say, Goteborgs Rape', Probe Whiskey, and most of the other Swedish Match snus'.

I found Ettan and General quite manageable from a baking perspective. My favorites are RL, GPF, Ettan, and General. I like GR for a change of pace.

I actually don't mind too much, if a snus is more fine or coarse ground. The coarser snuses are not as easy to bake IMHO, but they stay in place very well, once they are under the lip.

Strangely though, most of my favorite loose snuses are on the coarser side (Ettan, Probe, Offroad Cranberry, Gotland Yellow).

Cheers!

Hey Jeff, you're right, after a few cocktails it's easy to get things back-asswards. ops: ops: ops:
