    My first post! As well as a shipment from Northerner.

    I have been using Snus since may 2010, starting with camel, and quickly moving to the General mint/los that I can buy at my tobacconist. Today, I have received my first shipment of snus from Northerner, and I wanted to show you guys a picture and introduce myself.

    Edit: I dont have a picture, but what I bought is:
    Nick & Johnny, White Portion
    Röda Lacket, Loose
    Thunder Frosted ES, Portion x2
    Göteborgs Rapé, White Portion
    Grovsnus, White Portion
    Catch Pure Mint, White Medium Portion
    Gotländskt Julesnus, Portion
    Catch Eucalyptus, White Portion
    Jakobssons Mint, Strong Portion x2

    Hey there! I'm not the usual welcoming guy, but here we are.
    You have some good stuff there. Never had Catch before but the rest is great in my book. Next order, be sure and pick up some Tre Ankare. One of my personal favorites.

      Pretty good order I would have done nick and johnny original, Grov original, and probably goteborgs rape no.2, and thrown in a can of ettan and gotlands yellow loose instead but other than that good order. Oh I also would have ordered like 60 cans but I can understand not doing that since I think my first order was like 15, but that was pre 30 dollar shipping.

        I have one of the Grov portions in.
        I only ordered grov because of a suggestion from a swede in the online gaming clan I am in, and I am glad I did.
        It seems a good bit saltier than the general white portions which I am used to.
        I like the increase in saltiness

          the entire order cost $55 total for 11 cans, so $5/can. general is $6/can locally so I think I did well.
          Also, I tend to prefer white portions over original, from what I've tried.

            My last order was 10 cans and it was 55 dollars.
            Mt tastes have changed in times, but as I sit now, I think my fave snus' are Ettan Vit, Grov White, and General White. The last few cans of originals I had seemed dried out.

            Welcome.

                    I hate the julesnus. I was disappointed, as I was looking forward to it the most. I love the grov, N&J, pure mint, havent tried lacket or any of the others. the jakobssons i got cause it was 2 cans without adding to shipping. the julesnus is going in the freezer if i run out.

                    I was snus free for a week and a half, cause we had snow here in GA, and my tobacconist ran out, and ups delivered 2 days late.
                    it was the worst thing ever. tried smoking cigarettes but they weren't very satisfying.
                    I'm gonna try to stock my freezer like some of the guys here do, with rolls of my favorites.
                    My tobacconist can order me general mint white in rolls for about the same price as northerner, less shipping.

                      The V2 julesnus is better than Gotlandsk ... in my opinion

                        Welcome aboard MikeDubs. You'll like it here.

                        I think you did pretty good with your selection. I am not a mint fan but the ones you picked are spoken highly of. I found it interesting that you chose a lot of white portions. Prolly 'cos you came from Camel...blech. I switched to almost all whites when I first started and that lasted years. I'm slowly gravitating back to OPs. You'll find they taste different (slightly) and much different as Los. Roda los will be a good one to start with 'cos you can make a pris and pretty much throw it and it won't fall apart. Some of the others are not that user friendly.

                        Good on ya for realizing smokes don't do the trick once you're into snus.

                          just woke up. drinking a xyience xenergy cherry lime with my thunder frosted ES. Damn this is a great way to wake up.
                          Also, I am pretty good at making a pris with my hand. when i go to my tobacconist its usually 3 cans of general mint, 2 cans of general los, once every 2 weeks or so
                          I tried the general wintergreen a few times-- i like the burn it has, and it seems to deliver nic faster, but I hate the taste
                          also i tried camel snus again when i was dry on the real stuff. Even less satisfying than a smoke (Just like they intended)

                          the closest I could come to snus satisfaction without snus was taking some grizzly dip and putting a small pinch in my upper lip.

                              Roda lacket los is great. Can you guys recommend any portions that are mild like it?
                              I really like the mild flavor with the lack of the pepper. I love the saltiness, but the pepper isn't my favorite
