The Prismaster that GetSnus forgot to include in a previous order arrived today. They included a free can of Onico Peppermint as an apology gesture, which was nice of them. But nicotine-free snus? Isn't that a bit like orgasm-free sex? At any rate, it's a very attractive can.
Despite being a very simple-looking, inexpensive molded plastic gizmo, the Prismaster does the job, if somewhat inelegantly. To christen it, I decided I would open my can of Knox lös. It was very easy to form and insert a pris with the Prismaster. It creates a well-compacted pris, much better than I could make with my very meager handbaking skills. But, as many others have noted, it's a very large pris, and there's no way to adjust the size. Nevertheless, I'm glad I have one now, even if I will probably will prefer to use a ghetto tool once my syringes arrive. And I think I'm beginning to see an Icetool in my future...
And since I've been talking about Knox lös, I might as well give you my first impression...
Knox lös
Like the portions, this has a mellower flavor than it's big brother Skruf. When I opened the can, a rich aroma of bergamot and rose oil drifted out, but there are only mild touches of those flavors in the pris, with the bergamot predominating. Mostly what I taste is a good, middle-of-the-road, full bodied tobacco, with only a bit of salt. The longer I leave the pris in, the more spicy, peppery notes come to the forefront. Very enjoyable -- a "kick back and relax" snus.
