First Lös Order!

[NewYork]

Had to copy and paste the "o" with the little dots above it. My keyboard doesn't have that.

Ordering Loose snus for the first time. I have to note I can't stand the taste of general (maybe it's the bergamot or something) but it tastes to herbal like tea. I really like Ettan wp and op. I really like Probe op. Grov is ok but had a little of that "tea" flavor just a little. Any suggestions or opinions on the following?

1.Ettan los
2.Probe Whiskey los
3.Thunder Long Cut los
4.Thunder Frosted los
5.Offroad Frosted los

The only los I've tried is Pioneer Snuff. It is really good but sometimes I get a really gritty sand/ground rock bits in it. Is this normal?

Is Offroad wintergreen los any better than the portions? It tasted like a cheap cigar left in an empty wintergreen can for a day.
Thanx

Never thought I would like loose as much as I do.

General loose ftw!

Lös is the way.
There are a lot of great lössnuses.

I would strongly urge you to try Prima Fint. It's underrated and hardly ever gets any mention, but it is the only los that I use on a regular basis.
It's the easiest to work with, and has a very simple, pure flavor of tobacco and is slightly sweet with a nice little salt balance to it. I love the stuff. Strongly urge you to try it.

Skruf Stark Los! ;-)

How's thunder frosted loose?

Loved the portions but I want to try the Loooooooose.

There are not 1000s of los types out there.

This makes trying them all a relatively easy task.

I would give them all a try .....................at least once

Throw an odd can in here or there with the standards.

As far as Pioneer being gritty.....................I can't say that I have noticed it.....................Gellivare and Landstroms are gritty and utterly divine when you can get them.

Soooo.........as far as the grit goes..............it is not the norm for los ....................but it also is not a sign of things gone wrong.

Could it have been grains of salt?

[Snusdog]

Could it have been grains of salt?

Maybe..............(but then again.............I've never had any grit with Pioneer) ...........but with Landstrom and Gellivare I can say for certain, it is not salt..............it is just part of the Tobacco and processing they use.

That said, L and G are small batch old school snus...............grit and all they are superb

Well it's more like here and there is an occasional sand like grit as if I just happened to get a can that a little sand or something got in. Guess it's possible, but it tastes really good and aside from the occasional unidentified grindyness, its a really soft smooth tobacco. Picture eating a sandwich at the beach and one of the bites had a tiny sand in it noticable when your back teeth met.

I will throw a can of Prima Fint on there. Sounds good.

I have been using Pioneer for a while now and have not got any grit feeling from it. You probably just got a bad can.

Oh he's just tryin to get his money back!


LoL I keed!

[heders]

You should definitely try Grovsnus Lös. It's the best loose snus in my opinion. No BS, just straight up, strong tobacco flavor. Ettan is great as well.

I don't know if it's your avatar combined with your name, but you sometimes remind me of Cartman. Always stirring sh*t up lol.

Los is far better than portions. Mouth feel is better, better flavor, custom size 'doses', etc. Out of your list i've actually only tried the thunder frosted. It's the only flavored snus i actually enjoy. I'd recommend trying some Grov, or the old stand by, Roda for easy initiation into los. Gotlands Gul is the best, but it's not available anymore.

Good first order! Ditto what others have said about Prima Fint.

If you're accustomed to portions, lössnus will be a very different experience at first. Give it some time to grow on you.

You did throw a Prismaster in there, right? Handbaking has a bit of a learning curve to it.
