What draws you guys to White Portions? I don't get it

Heat Seal Tea Bags

they are available around the net for example: http://www.thesage.com/catalog/Botanicals.html

you can put herbs, coffee, tobacco.. whatever and use an iron to seal or make any size you want. I am thinking to form a tube and load up, seal and cut. You may be able to just buy the fabric. I think that might be a good way to do it. I have regular teabag size and I get four out of each bag.

Seems like a lot of work, and not necessarily a heck of a lot cheaper (when you consider materials and powering the iron) then just buying portions. I guess making larger/smaller/offsized portions may have it's advantages.

As a parent, employee and home-owner time is a valuable commodity.

I tend to order whites in about equal proportions to originals. I'm not done deciding which I prefer, but generally I like the whites more for work, and the originals for home. Generally I'm very busy at work, so I like a portion I can put in and forget about until much later. Sometimes it's hours before I think about it, and most of the time originals have a really bad taste by then and have messed up my tastebuds for a while. A lot of the whites seem to go to no flavor rather than bad aftertaste. I can't say I notice much the moisture difference, they're definitely dryer, but not for very long (probe aside, which was very moist!). Also, I'm probably a bit paranoid, but I hate it when a portion makes my teeth brown while I'm at work - and whites never seem to do that. Finally, for me I still haven't gotten over how originals look - I know it's petty and dumb - but they look kinda gross to me so I have to kinda just ignore that when I use them (but I still notice it every time) - and I'm at 3 months now.

The only difference I can find after the initial 10 minutes of moisture build-up necessary for white portions is the effect on the gums.

If I've had more than say two or three whites in a day, my gums are a bit worn/dry/sensitive.

The flavors and longevity are very similar once the 10 minutes of white portion inactivity has elapsed for me.

Wait, it would reappear in your daily rotation? Are you saying that Goteborgs Rape regular portions existed at some point but were discontinued? If so, what a travesty. The only thing that keeps G.R. out of my normal rotation is the fact that it's a white portion.

And yes, I'll have to agree with you on the Knox. It is the only portion brand that I can use every day and not get bored. The price is excellent as well. I find it funny that my everyday brand only costs about 18 dollars per roll. Budget snus is sure a hell of a lot better than budget cigarettes.

Knox is perfect.

Sorry if I was unclear. What I meant was that if SM was to release a original portion GR, then the GR (in general) would reappear in my rotation. Its been a long time since I've used it, several months, I think.
Maybe it's about time I got hold of a GR lös again ... it's freaking yummy. And theres is a certain nostalgia connected with precisely this brand; it was my first favorite!

Subtilo:

Ah, I see. Well, here's to hoping that it'll happen someday. It's doubtful, but you never know.

I haven't had the loose in quite a while, either. I'm going to put some cans in with my next order. I miss opening up a fresh can and smelling it. To me, there are few smells more pleasant than a freshly-opened can of GR loose.

I like white portions because I don't feel obligated to keep them in the fridge. I can take my tin to work or leave it on the desk at home and not worry about it. I wouldn't do that with Onyxs or anything so similarly saturated. But my last order was the first time I tried anything other than dry whites, so I don't know how the wet ones really handle in that situation.

Granit white is great, btw.

refrigerator requirements

are yous saying white portions don't require refrigeration?

[MelangeMan]

I'm sure the recommendation is to chill them, but I was just saying that I'm more relaxed towards that than I am with the moister snus.
