    Need some advice

    I am not really new to snusing, but have been out of the loop for a while. When I moved back to the states I kept on with Landstroms and Gellivare until they discontinued it. Since then, I have be using Stoker's Natural Fine Cut. I see that there are a lot of new loose snus out there. Can anybody tell me if there is any of it worth a try? If you wonder what I like, think of Gotlands Yellow, Stoker's Natural, Landstrom or Gellivare. I would kill for some Landstroms or Gellivare, but it is not to be. I seem to hate the V2 and Odens offerings. What do you think? Anything give my old standbys a run for their money?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

      Both V2 and Oden's have changed some since you were in the game, I'd recommend trying both again. I now use both religiously and didn't like either when years ago (sorry guys,...I love y'all now, lol)

        V2 us about the same as it's always been imo. I like it, but it's different than Swedish snus. Odens is worth a try. They started out selling snus contracted out to another company, and it tasted suspiciously like V2. It's made in house now, and it's distinctive, and quite good. My problem with it is it's mostly stark/extra stark, and I don't do strong snus. The flavor's right on though.

          The list has not changed much. Still helpful.
          I used to use the Skruf Stark years back. I like it, but not as much these days. A year or so ago I ordered some Stoker's from GetSnus (what a fiasco that turned out to be, but for another time...........what happen to those guys? The people in the warehouse are awesome, at corporate, not so much). I got whatever loose at the time I had never tried before. Most of it was V2 and Odens. I had to throw some of them out. That is why I asked first this time.
          I am sure that the topic was beaten to death while I was away, but I really want to cry when I think of my Lanstroms and Gellivare. I have never found anything like it. The consistency, texture and taste were just perfect. Oh well. I should stop now. I am getting emotional. :-)
          The Swedish make good tobacco, but can not seem to run a business for shit.

            Pioneer lol. Gellivare is/was my absolute favorite. I would recommend Granit los until Gellivare comes Back.

              I think I tried Granit when I was first exploring snus in Germany back in 08. I remember it being cheap and good. Not since then though. Maybe I should try again. How close would you say it is to Gellivare pleasure on a scale of 1 to 10. Subjectivity is a given.

                I will be honest. Gellivare was a legendary snus that was 2nd to none. Having said that, I think you will enjoy Granit los. The only thing is that getting it shipped here is steep and will cost you $30-$35 to ship 2 rolls.

                  Granit is great.
