What you are saying is that with the los type (versus portions which is all I know about so far) you can get a better taste of both the flavor and the inherent tobacco? Having it in the portion means you are trading off potentially the flavor for convenience/discreetness (is that even a word)?

      Yes! Los always taste better.

        To echo the others, yuppers....most of the time.

        Strong flavored snus.....let's use Thunder Frosted as an example....has almost no difference what ever format you go for. It is a strong minty flavor that is prevalent in all forms.

        General white is different from the original portion and very different from the los. I prefer the los out of the three.

        The flavors are similar but the way the profile comes out is different. Grab a tin of General los and OP and do a side by side.....white, op and los. You will then be able to decide which format you want to persue.

        Although I use mostly los there are some portions I use for convenience (Thunder mini)....and Jakobsson's Flader and most Thunders only come in portion at this time.

          I have a question. Are you using snus to quit smoking?

            If you're looking for a mint snus, Thunder Frosted is very good indeed.

            For a more natural tobacco experience choose either Odens Original or Extreme which are excellent......if you can get your hands on some.

              Yes (with a little no). I am looking to cut back on my smoking from a health standpoint as well as convenience factor but the thought of no after dinner smoke or when out having some drinks socially seems crazy to me (although with the current indoor smoking laws it is a major drag)...but my guess is many current snus users felt the same way when they were exclusive smokers.

                    I did see your posting, thank you. To be honest I am kinda tentative about the los versions since in many ways the convenience of a portion is one of my main reasons for being here. Yet from what I have heard as well you get more flavor in general (not the brand necessarily) from los versus portions. The vets here deserve "first shot" at this free sample/offer so let them go first so to speak...I'm mulling it over.

                      Well I know with me, I noticed the subtle flavors more after I quit smoking for a while.
