    It doesn't have the cooling sensation of LS Nites. It takes like a lemon tart to me. It's like General but different. Higher citrus, which tastes more like lemon than bergamot, noticable licorice in the background, and a bit of pepper. Not as much salt as General OP.

      Translation: It has a very unique flavor profile and is freakin awesome...

      Edit to include it is one of my top favorites and in my rotation... Always have a can open

Just thinking about white portions reminds me of the Catch Eucalyptus I got with my very first snus order, the sample box from Northerner. And in my opinion, Ettan White is the most boring snus available -- it takes subtlety to a new level (not that Level).
        Yeah, I would have to agree... Ettan White is the most boring least flavorful portion snus I have had yet to date and will never buy again, Yet Ettan OP is one of my top 5 favorites along with Ettan Los and recently Ettan Kardus....

          Well that's two recommendations for Onyx from a coupla' pros so I'll definitely be ordering some.

          Translation: Hell yeah, bring it on.

            I used to hate white portions until I purchased a can of General White from the gas station out of curiosity -- that's all I use now. I think white portions taste similar to their los counterparts; they don't have a pungent aftertaste, since the moisture content from the snus doesn't permeate the sachet material.

              Onyx is wicked good. It's like the Caddy of the General line. It's got a really rich taste. Very bold stuff.

                I tried Onyx once. As I recall it had a citrusy taste. Wasn't too fond of it I think.

                  I ordered 5 cans of onyx on my last order on blind faith. Glad I did I enjoy it. When it comes to Ettan I only do los. The portions are okay it's just the history of the los.. Being from 1822, the portions just seem sacrilegous (spelling) to me. Back to the subject I enjoy all styles white/OP etc.. Not equally though los is allways tops.

                    Dangit, Eric, 1822!!
                    I didn't realize you were that old!
                    (You sound so young, too!)

                    No wonder you're against newfangled contraptions like snus portions.
                    I'll bet your hand-cranked 2-party phone is holding up well;
                    those danged smartphone contraptions are just downright evil!!

                      Re Ettan OP, I'm only on my first can (first impressions are good) but I've noticed the flavour can fade quite quickly. I pitched my last portion after about 20 minutes because I was getting nothing from it.

                        I don't like ettan op too much and I'm beginning to realize the loose isn't very flavorful and I've got a roll of it, but the portions taste like absoutely nothing I get literally no taste whatsoever from them. Might be a bad batch (I don't think swedish match has such a thing which is one of the reasons I use their snus). That said the ettan portion can is definitely the coolest can I can think of but since no one sees my can it doesn't matter.

                          Ettan may wake up for you in the future. When I first tried, I thought it was fairly bland. Now, it has a huge flavor to me. I think it takes time to develop the taste buds, and the flavor increases as you gain experience.

                            I can't stand Ettan OP. Where is the salt flavor?!?

                              That's why I like it, I can't stand overly salty Snus. General White rags my gums because of the salt.

                              I tell you, us snussers are lucky we've got so much flavour variety!
