    Changing Taste?

    Having used snus now for about 5 weeks (and loving it) I have noticed that some I didn't like at all on first try are now quite enjoyable. What's that about? I mean, I don't like Brussels sprouts and never have. It's strange, but interesting.
    As a side note: I quit smoking 5 weeks ago and could not be happier with the switch to snus. I really, really love this stuff! Thank you to 60 Minutes on CNBC for running a special on smokeless tobacco or I never would have known what I was missing!

    Your tastes will probably continue to evolve for a number of months if not considerably longer. Par for the snus course.

      Happened to me as well.

      What I didn't like first .... I enjoy now..........

      And what I used to like before I hate them now.... it's kinda' weird .... how the taste can change. (sometimes I'm even confused if I like a particular snus or not .... until I have a few cans)

      I believe it's because of the huge variety that I have tried (and combined dip as well) and to be honest with dip ..... all the snus seems so bitter .......... except Skruf, Odens, Offroad, Phantom that are not very bitter.

            At first I used Thunder Frosted, Jaks Mint and Wintergreen and all kinds of other flavored snus exclusively. Now after 4 months I have only been using 1 or 2 at most flavored portions a day and the rest of the time General ES Los, Onyx and Skruf. I have to place another order sooner than I had planned since I stocked up on flavored snus. I think a big part of it is that it takes a while to get your taste buds back after you quit smoking so the regular snus tastes bland at first.

              When I started I was all about Swedish Match's flavor profile.....until I got some Gotlands snus.

              Now it is pretty much all v2 los for me. I still love Gotlands.....but it was discontinued.....

              I promise this is the last post where I complain about that.

              Mints and wintergreens I kinda gave up on as well.....

                  Yeah Ettan OP has turned on me. If no one will trade with me.. I might have to use them by just keeping them in for like 5 minutes.

                    I've only been snusing for a year but when I started I only ordered 2-4 cans each of something online for a total of around 20-25 cans. Learned that some things I liked sometimes turned into something I didn't. That was and is still part of the fun for me, finding a great-to-me snus. As time goes on I'm sure you'll find staples of stuff you'll always like and then feel comfortable ordering rolls. However you do it, enjoy!

                    Mike, I'm not going to hold you to that. I figure any and all complaints are quite justified regarding the loss of Gotlands.

                        I really must have messed up a lot of tastes :^)

                        I even though of making a list of my favorite ones........... because I end up with stuff under my lip that I happen to dislike................. not sure if I mentioned yet that since I use a BIT of dip once in a while a had to cut down so many snus brands since they're simply bitter.............. such as General OP, General ES, Gotlands Julesnus .......... etc.....................

                        LOL I sound like winning probably lol

                        OFFROAD, SKRUF, ODENS, PHANTOM, RODA (like it better than ETTAN NOW) will be my to go snus......... end of the story lol

                            I think I'll try having DIP only once a day to see how that works..............
