      I personally really like Prima Fint. Its consistency is not the best and once its in your lip after a while it takes a little work to keep it from falling apart, but not too bad. I recommend trying it. It is one of my top snus as for flavor. Only con is how finely ground it is.

        I like Prima Fint as well. It's not a brand that I buy rolls of, but I usually add a can or two onto an order. It's very nice when you're in the mood for something mild.

            I really like Prima Fint. It bakes nicely, but I find it stays together better in a larger, monster pris. Good, mellow flavor, and it seems to have a unique burn to it under the lip. I think it's unlike anything else. Yes, it is very finely ground, but I find it runs less than RL.

              Prima Fint has a very sort of 'straight' taste. not anything like skoal straight, mind you. it's just mainly pure tobacco (a little on the sweet side) flavor and salt. it's a pretty good snus i believe, definitely suitable if you're in a really chill mood and don't want to have something 'loud' in your mouth.
              Roda Lacket is it's brother basically. the same consistency and similar in taste and boldness. probably most noticeable is the overall doughy taste of both. Don't confuse with portions however, Roda Lacket loose doesn't taste anywhere near as flavorful as the portions.

                I'll add my two cents.

                The snus is very fine ground and plenty of moisture which makes it very easy to handbake. One possible drawback of being so finely ground is that it disolves away. After an hour and a half. I didn't have anything left to remove. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

                Taste wise Prima Fint is very very mild. I had to struggle to find any taste, what little taste I did get from it has a slight bitterness to it, probably from the nicotine? This snus might make a good base for people who want to experiment with flavorings to make their own blend.

                It's not a bad snus, it's just too plain for my tastes.

                  That is a spot on review. When I first tried Prima I could not taste it at all. After a year or so I went back and revisited it. Still nothing. Also your point about the grind is dead on as well.

                        Got a can of Prima on the way from Northerner, along with can of Probe Whisky loose. From what I'm reading here, I can't wait to try it.

                          I find Prima Fint totally unremarkable. It's like Ettan, ground twice as fine, and with 70% less flavor. It isn't bad, but it doesn't have much going for it either.

                            I suggest barely baking it by hand to appreciate the subtle flavor. I don't get much from it at all if I use an icetool.

                              Just trying out the Prima now and, well, yeah... ditto. RealmofOpeth also mentioned a doughy taste, which I get as well. Overall, not bad for someone like myself who likes mild tobacco flavor in los but if there's Ettan around, I can't see much point in getting the Prima.

                              On the other hand, Probe Whisky tastes very much like a sweeter version of Prima.

                              EDIT: On second thought, the Prima holds up a little better than the Ettan, so I can see why someone might perfer using Prima over Ettan for that reason.
