    Got some Rothbrix today...

    I've never actually seen this stuff in person but ordered some Phantom Blue OP recently and got it with the Rothbrix label.

    Also, anyone notice Phantom Blue OP tastes/smells different? I haven't had the OP in a while but it seems more balanced and natural tasting now. More like the WP, and the Windex smell is hardly present. Portions are more dry too. (not complaining about that though)

    Wonder if the recipe changed...

    I just got some this week and it is decidedly not Windex like at all. Last time I had it I couldn't put it in my mouth. I like it much more than the last time I had it.

      I wonder if the lös has changed at all. I thought the lös was better after a year of aging in the fridge. I'd be interested in trying a pre-aged Phantom.

        I should have stated I got both portions and los. Los is fabulous when you make it past the sweet lemon to the juniper coming out of it. Very nice transition...especially without the Windex smell this time around.

        I still dislike the mouthfeel but I am trying to get over that...

          I'll have to grab all the Phantoms on my next order(whenever that'll be), and see what they're about now. The brown was my favorite when fresh, and I enjoyed the other 2 after they'd mellowed a bit.

              The classic seems less artifical than the last time I had it as well. The only thing that gets me flavor wise is they are sweet. Not overly sweet but I prefer a bitterness or more tobaccoey taste in my snus...more of a balance.

                I agree, that's been my hangup also.
