I guess I should start by talking about my feelings about the last remaining snus from my various orders that I had yet to try...General Onyx. I wrote some thoughts on the Reviews thread for this brand but in a nutshell I like it better than General WP in the sense that it tastes more high quality and the black portions are just cool.
Is it a go to snus? No.
Is it a Tier 1 snus per this weird way I am trying to track my preferences? No
For me it is actually more Tier 2 but near the top. I used this snus exclusively all day and the fact of the matter is I just put in another portion but really wanted to put in an Ettans or Thunder Frosted Long+ instead. Yet I told myself I would use it all day so I am going to keep that deal with myself.
As for the "Tiers of Preference" here is my first crack at it. There are only three now but as I plow ahead towards 100 there will undoubtedly be more.
TOP 1
Jakobsson's Mint Strong Portion
Ettans Portion
01 Portion
Thunder Frosted Long+ Portion
General Mint White Portion
Göteborgs Rapé
TOP 2
Offroad Frosted Portion
General Onyx
General White Portion
General Wintergreen White Portion
TOP 3
Oden's Classic Kanel
Olde Viking Spearmint
Thunder Frosted ES Portion
Thunder Coola Extra Stark
The bolded brands are ones I have enjoyed so much they have "won" a spot in the normal rotation. So why is Oden's Classic Kanel bolded being a Tier 3? This is due to the fact that GN tells me there will be a revamp at some point in the future and based upon other members lauding his successes I am banking on this being a winner too.
Thanks for reading!

The snus comes in white portions containing 1g snus per portion and each can 22g snus in total. The portions are arranged in an attractive star formation in the can and have a slightly wedged shape (like General Onyx) to them making them a comfortable fit under the lip. The can is blue in colour and the artwork gold and white featuring the One Series branding. Upon opening the...14-09-20, 03:41 PM -
The one and only General Classic Portion!
A true Swedish snus classic with a spicy taste and pronounced bergamot flavor. Add a hint of tea, grass and leather... Bergamot is a citrus fruit which provides the snus with a fresh taste.
For many snusers around the world General Portion is synonymous for real Swedish snus... Now in 1g-portions again - 24g tobacco weight per can!
Full-sized pouch, moistened for fast and robust flavor release. ...03-02-19, 02:57 PM -

You know Monkey you make me think of the whole Tier thing....it may be worthwhile to not focus on overall preference in terms of tiers but maybe organize into basic types (classic pepper/citrus, mint types, pure tobacco types, etc.) although there are some which I am sure are unique unto themselves. Or possibly leave the tier system but color code based upon basic flavor types.....hmmmm....too much to think about now...need some more coffee.
Thanks!
I always class snus by flavor profile. Mints with mints and so on and then just decide what I like enough to get a roll of and what is only worth a one or two can order. ( and what to NEVER order again.)
Oh....Phantom Blue. Do it. Do it.
Damn...now I have to change things around again
