    Does 02 grow on you?

    I have been using snus for a couple months now and I keep coming back to this one.. I can hardly taste it but there is something there because when I reach in the crisper I come out with this in my hand.. After its in for awhile it's get better and better..

    Has this grown on anyone else?

    It's a good snus. I haven't 02 for awhile, but I have some on order. I don't care what the can says, it drips on me alot, but it has a nice hit and it feels great in my mouth. Good stuff. Wish I had more.

      To me simple answer would be no.... I have had several cans of 01/02 and it has never grown on me over time, I feel it has too much of a chemical taste to it at least for me.. YMMV... I don't really care for it...

        I haven't had any in quite a while, but I used to pick up a roll here and there. I wouldn't call it a 'great' tasting snus per-se, but there is nothing bad about it. It has a very neutral flavor to me in that its not something I can see a person getting burned out on, so all in all I think it makes a pretty decent all day snus if you like it.

          It's weird.. I like it and then I don't so much.. I just had a N&J and was like there's the flavor!! Man it is hard to narrow this stuff down...

            It is a strange animal for sure. I do appreciate that sm finally tried something different with the 01 02 offerings. If I was forced though to pick one sm offering that I had to use regularly, it would definately be 02, but I have gravitated away from buying anything from sm and I don't find myself missing it....strange animal indeed.

              This is an excellent view.....matches mine pretty close. If all I could get was SM snus (snusgods forbid) it would be 01 or 02 for me. Otherwise....never touch the stuff.

                I always liked it (and the 01). I wish I could still get it. I like that the flavour was subtle, but it packed a decent nic punch.

                  I replaced General with this for a good couple months - thought it was magic for a while then faded out. I still have some in the freezer which I pull out when I fancy a change. I don't know what SM are talking about with the 'no drip' business though - this drips around the same as a regular portion for me.

                    imo if you're asking the question "does it grow on you" it means it isn't very good in the first place but you don't believe that it isn't and you'd prefer a better outcome. It is what it is.

                    Personally I hated it.

                        Hard to argue with this logic :^D

                        I agree, and disagree though. If something sucks, it sucks, but sometimes it takes awhile to train your tastebuds to appreciate the finer points of different products. That's why we're stuck with garbage snus in the USA. The American stuff is more approachable for newcomers, so that's what they pick, instead of the superior, but less n00b friendly Swedish brands.

                        I've never had the lab series, so I can't specifically comment, but in general, I'm a fan of bold flavors. The exception to that is natural lossnus. I appreciate subtlety in that format.

                          I've betrayed the fact that I've got parents who both have Phd's in Psychology - and I'm the f***ed up result.
