    This is a great los based mainly on flavor..

    The flavor is a strong bergamot with a hint of tangerine zest while in the background there ia a hint of figs. I taste little to no salt, which is good for me, with the onset of a pleasant bitterness after about 40 minutes. The complexity of this match keeps me going back for more.

    It is moist and easy to bake and comes in a swanky metal tin that is slim and discreet.

    The cost is a little high for 35g, but I find it worth it for a snus this good.

      great little snus, after trying a prilla I'm putting a roll on order! The bergamot-citrus is very nice, it's tough picking out any fig however.

        I've been into this lately. The flavor is very present and well balanced. The tobacco base doesn't come through for a while but you can tell right from the get-go the leaf is quality. It's cut well and the pris is easy to bake. I think that it maintains it's pack seemingly forever.

        It's very full-bodied. I get a nice dried fruit aroma (moreso from the can but it's definitely there) and a good sharp bergamont taste. The flavor develops evenly and the sharpness fades to reveal a solid tobacco that is very comfortable to keep in. No worries about mudslides with this one either.

          Man, I love this one. I just happen to have some in right now. Its mouthfeel and flavor are unique. It's very smooth in texture, almost buttery, but the flavor has a certain sharpness or bitterness (a good sort of bitterness), or maybe astringency is the right word, that contrasts with it in the most amazing way. I almost think this one might get better with age, as this can has been open for a while, but it's just dynamite.

          This has got to be on the short list of my absolute favorites.

            Not too bad at all... wouldnt order more than two cans per order. I can't though because it is no more. Great can though ill keep it to carry daily portions every now and again. Consider it a poor man's icetool slim case.

              I love the cans but I'm starting to notice rust beginning on the inside of some of them.

                I just got a can of this from a box pass. Really good los! Flavor is superb! Holds together really well. I've had the portions, and they were ok, but the los is where its at! Isn't this one of the snuses you can't get in the U.S.A. anymore?

                  I thought they stopped making it all together.

                    Maybe that was it. I kinda remember hearing it was hard to get now. I don't really use Toboca very often, so I don't really pay that much attention. The los is really good though. Kinda hard to handbake, but it stays in once you get it.

                      I really like this stuff. Never had the los before, got some in the recent los box pass. Really pure taste, reminds me of the tobacco mix in the cuban snuses. Without the cuban tobacco of course. Damn tasty!
