Offroad Cranberry Strong Portion

[Xobeloot]

I just received my OR-Cran Strong from northerner yesterday, and I must say that I am quite pleased with it. The tobacco tastes like tobacco, and the cranberry is quite subtle.

I am used to American dip that tastes like chemicals and sugar. This is such a huge taste improvement I can hardly believe it!

I'm glad you like it. It's also one of my favorites. It's quite an unusual snus-brand, BTW. Very unintrusive and subtle, but also very tasty. The traditional brands, especially Ettan, offer a somewhat even more subtle taste-experience, which also is worth a try.

Cheers!

Hmm might have to give it a try. I was afraid it would be an onslaught of cranberry like some of the other offroad flavours. How does it compare to rape no.2 and how sweet is it?

[chainsnuser]

I've never tried GR2. Offroad Cranberry has a certain sweetness, especially the Strong Portions, but absolutely not overpowering. It's absolutely worth a try but I doubt that it is a brand, that everyone will like.

Cheers!

I've tried both Offroad Cranberry and GR#2, and even though I like them both, I still find the Offroad to be way too sweet for my everyday use. It's an occasional treat, but when I get it its most often in loose, which IMO is better than the portion type.

My all time favorite berry-flavored snus is Skruf Cranberry ... Simply adorable :wink:

I also have yet to try GR#2. I can honestly say that i'm sure any one of them will taste better than the flavored dip that I have gotten used to. Now that I have found snus and these forums, my head spins thinking about all the new tastes I have yet to try.

On topic with the OR-Cran strong; I have noticed that after having the can open for about 24 hours, the portion bags are popping open on the ends. A couple of them i just tore open after they popped, balled up the snus and popped it loose into my lip (easy solution to the issue).

I do like offroad loose and love rape No2 but one of my most hated portions is skruf tranbar. Maybe I got a bad tin but it tasted of chemicals and the longer i had the tin the worse it got. I've only ever thrown away two cans of snus, skruf tranbar and offroad peach...which tasted like sick :P Never thrown a tin of loose away though.

Hm, yes, maybe you got a bad one. I'm not a heaver (sn)user of berry-snus, but I've had my share of both GR2 and Skruf Tranbär, and I do have one complaint about the Skruf: at several occasions I have found it to 'go bad' very fast. Normally I switch between 2 or 3 different kinds of snus, which means that one tin sometimes lasts for almost two weeks - most often without severe consequences taste wise. The Skruf tends to get kind of sour or bitter. I don't know if it's just because its more noticeable with the full flavored variants than it is with the more 'lo-fi' types ... it could be just that.

You should try i again - and If you still don't care for it, I'll promise to shut up :wink:

Ok, it's a deal!
