Let me guess. They are making room for Gotlands tutti fruity with sugar sparkles los.

[UsualSnuspects]

How many appeals have been made here to Jimmy about bringing back Gul, or how good Gotlandssnus lös is in general? Now Gotlandssnus makes absolutely no Gotlandssnus.

@Jimmy: give us the real story,
please. Why not just lighter cans? Should we still expect Julesnus this winter?

In the meantime I'm going on a Jaks boycott until y'all are done with the pedophile candy bullshite and get back to being a snus manufacturer. Sorry Jimmy, I appreciate what communication you've been making here, but it seems to be just one-way announcements about how Camel SNUS is on its way to having a competitor in Gotland.

Can you tell I'm disappointed yet?

I'm not Jimmy, but I'll throw in my 2¢... I think it comes down purely to economics, and prioritizing resources. Lössnus just isn't a big seller, and is a declining market. I'd equate lössnus with unfiltered cigarettes in the 80s. Used by old timers, and cigarette aficionados, but on the steady decline. That's why I keep pushing for special releases. That'll keep the aficionados happy, won't waste machine time, and most importantly will continue the long history of traditional Swedish snus. You hosers have to get on board though. A special release is special. You need to get it while you can, and stick it in the freezer. That might mean coming up with a couple hundred dollars at a time, but it's an investment in the future. Snus always appreciates in value, so your $200 today, may be worth $250 next year. By supporting a release like that it adds value to the snus company, so they do it again next year, and hedges against inflation.

Was never keen on the Gotlands grind, but the Grå did taste very special.

Personally, I believe that many new snus users who started out with portions will tend to convert to Los when they don't have to be discreet, such as evenings and weekends, etc. Some have been put off by the ridiculous stuff written about how difficult it is to hand bake a pris. Carrying around a little tool to make a pris is beyond ridiculous.

However, I did just yesterday try the Gotlandssnus Grey and it is a bit one dimensional in flavor, so I can understand why you discontinued it. However, put me down for a couple rolls of Green or Yellow if you decide to do a special run. Also, I would definitely try a Los version of Classic Strong or Wintergreen Strong.

This is not analagous to the change from regular to filtered cigarettes. Los is not more dangerous or harder to tolerate than portion. Just less discrete when you are making a pris or when you are removing a pris from your mouth. At tje same time it is tastier and is actually more discreet when you are using it than a regular portion because you can use a smaller amount and it will mold itself better to your mouth.

Unfiltered cigarettes aren't any less safe than filtered models. Filtered/light cigarettes are one of the biggest tobacco related scams perpetrated on consumers. They're a visual gag meant to make people feel safe, not actually make them safe. Kind of like the security theatre in our airports.

[UsualSnuspects]

Portions and cig filters keep tobacco stains off our fingers and little bits out of the mouth: it's all just tobacco prophylaxis.

So Jimmy: Could we commission a bespoke Gotlandssnus(on) lös?

[Premium Parrots]

I would suggest that someone start a poll in the talk to professionals forum. LX you have the knowledge to ask the proper questions on the poll. [I'm a portion person]. I'm sure there will be plenty of responses. Jimmy just can't disappoint a whole gaggle of polsters. It is odd that he had such good los and now the entire Jaks line is portions......seemingly flavored to american tastes.



So what do I do with all those yellow tins of Gots portion and los that are vacuum sealed and in my freezer?
Maybe I'll just keep them where they are stacked on top of the mountain of Thunder Coffee Supreme and the Thunder Chocomint. Sounds like a plan.

That's been done already. The results were mediocre. The usual suspects came out in support, and the rest ignored it, or gave a wishy-washy response. If I were doing it, I'd make it special all around. Special containers, special marketing, and limited availability. It would take a risk(not too great imo) on Gotland's part, but I think it would cover the costs involved, and make a small profit on top of it. Nobody's gonna get rich off of lössnus, but it can be a prestige item that showcases the blender's art, and keeps an important piece of history alive. If nothing else, it'll get me to STFU, and that's worth something :^D

now that you mention it I do think I remember that poll. Probably wouldn't hurt to do a poll again since so many of the los snus is unavailable. Thats up too you who want it tho. I do think it would make a nice limited edition snus....at least.

[Skell18]

Having only just discovered the yellow from a member on here who sent me the portions and los, please bring the los back!! I am in love with the stuff and can't believe I only just found it after it was discontinued.

Really?? Well thats a dam shame. that should never have been discontinued. Jimmy has no idea how many people were probably disappointed when he quit making it. I would think that his only real feedback would be from the members of snuson. Raise a bigger stink. Get him in here to explain how he can just stop making it. There has to be a ton of people that used it if it was in production for that long.

New flavors are nice but ya have to keep making the staples.

Jimmy!!! Forget about the american tastes for a bit and make the faithfull long time followers what they need. Please.

do it for the children.
