New guy!

I've been snusing off and on for about 6 months or so now.
Got an order from SnusCentral about 3 weeks ago (1-General Mini Mint, 1-General Mint, 1-Thunder Frosted Extra Stark, 1-Thunder Frosted Mini+, 1-Offroad Frosted and 1-Oden's Extra Stark Cinnamon).
I'm almost completely empty already!
So on Monday I placed an order with GetSnus.com and hopefully I receive it (due to the recent takeover), I ordered mostly more mints and a half roll of General Mint.

I was wondering which snus I should try in the near future, I plan on making another order probably next week.
I also plan on probably trying some los and was wondering what's the best los to try for my first experience?

Thanks and it feels great to be part of this community.

Welcome!

For the los, try some General or some Phantom. They are both good starter los as they are easy to bake. The Phantom will hold up better than the General though...

Welcome to SnusOn!

Geez.. What to try eh? You should try all of them of course :^D Here's 5 that I'd try, plus 1 lös...

Grov original portion - tobacco flavor, with smoke and salt, a chocolate background
Gotland Yellow portion - Strong bergamot that hints at evergreen, bitter background, almost hopish
Göteborg Rapé #2 - Gin flavor with berries
Skruf stark portion - This has bergamot and rose, but it tastes as close to pure tobacco as possible to me. Real pure tobacco, not the smokiness of Ettan and Grov. It reminds me of pure Virginia smoking tobacco.
Probe portion - Sweet, and it's supposed to have a whiskey flavor. Tastes kind of like American leaf chew to me. Can burn out on the flavor quick, but it's nice on occasion
General lös - salt, light bergamot, light smoke The most popular snus in the world, but not my favorite.

Those aren't necessarily my favorites, but it should give you a good idea of what's out there aside from mints.

What are the "tastes" of these? Just like a tobacco taste?

Just try those! I can vouch for lxskllr. He definitely had good taste in snus. In fact, if he were my neighbor and I was out of snus I would bum a portion from him.

CN,

Welcome to the forum mate. lx has given you a pretty sound list. The only change I would make is that I would substitute Granit los for the General. The reason being is that both General and Granit have a similar taste profile but Granit is less expensive and has a bit more flavor. I find General to be bland to the point of monotonous.

Anyway, keep us posted

and while you wait for your order to arrive, you might want to check out the Dipper's Guide to snus. It has a lot of good info about all things los from a whole host of folks here on the forum. You can find it here http://www.snuson.com/forum/showthre...-Guide-to-Snus

Thanks man.

Waiting for my order from GetSnus to get here then another order will be placed soon after!

I agree, but I was trying to keep the selection to the FDA approved list :^/ I figure he's new, and there isn't much time for stockpiling, so it's better to stick with things he's sure to be able to get. Hell, if he ends up loving General, he'll be golden. That'll be the last snus to leave the market :^D

My signature?

My signature?

That works too :^D

I couldn't think of anything else. I saw that on a bumper sticker and found it amusing and slightly true. Any other ideas?

Well see that's why you're not just a moderator.............but a SUPER Moderator!!!

Good thinking.

I would still go for the Granit though. I don't think anyone is going to fall in "one snus love" with Granit. So even if it is lost to FDA it won't be all that traumatic. However, General is mild to the point that it might be offsetting especially for someone coming from in your face mints. So I'd risk the first impression over the long term potential in this case.

So CN now you know the rational behind our suggestions. That may or may not help your decision.

What the hell...............just order them both

[c.nash]

We'll see how my order goes when I place it. :P

It really will depend on stock at the time, based off the lists I have received here.

I smoke hookah regularly so I'm used to having many flavors, and especially enjoy mixing mint with pretty much anything. This is the main reason I purchased a bunch of mints first.

Even in my most recent order I purchased some other mints to try out.
