    I'd drop the Elixyr. They're a 3rd tier player. You can try it sometime in the future, but there's better snus' you could get first. Grov and Gotland Yellow both come to mind before Elixyr.

      Consider Elixyr dropped then. Im trying to balance things out like order some White portions for the recent summer months and order the others and maybe stick them in the freezer and use them for cooler months. I dont go through portions quickly so I figure that the few White portions that I might order could hold up to the winter season. Watcha think?

        Trade the Elixyr for a can of loose, because you'll probably be curious about it. I suggest either General or Grov to start. I'd also suggest a couple more regular portions as opposed to white. I find they're easier on the gums at first, and provide a more authentic experience. Lastly, if you happen to be giving up cigarettes, you'll want a can of something strong, like Skruf Stark or Nick & Johnny. Otherwise you may find yourself doubling up on most of the products you're considering to achieve a similar nicotine kick.

        Happy snusing!

          That's probably a good idea to find out which you like better. I don't like white portions at all, but many people do. I honestly wouldn't worry too much about the heat as long as you keep them in the fridge for part of the day. I work outside and keep my snus in my cooler with my drinks. If I'm out traveling though, they just go in my pocket until I get back home, then they go in the fridge. I haven't had any issues with spoilage, and the only white portions I use are Catch eucalyptus and Metropol Pepparmint(RIP). I only use them because they aren't available in regular portions. I would guess I use 75% lös and 25% portion in my daily routine.

            IM not a big smoker. More of a social thing than anything. Probably 3 or 4 a day and put the pack down for a week or 2 just depending. So, if I stick them in the freezer when I get them I can take a can out and stick it in the fridge the night before I come in for work and It'll be fine in my pocket for the rest of the day? We do have a mini fridge in the shop so maybe when Im in from a job, I could stick the can in there until Im called back out eh? So I might go ahead and steer clear of white portions. Maybe order just one can of them. What brand of White portions are better just for that first time experience? Im not really fond on Loose only because Ive never dipped in my life and I feel the pouches are probably better for me (Just keep them Minis away!). I just threw away the rest of my Marlboros B/c the mini pouches just slide around in my mouth and are too small for me to fold it in any sorta way :lol:

              The only substitute I see is maybe switch General white for General regular. You might very well love white portions, as it is now either is a crap shoot. White portions are the same as regular, only dryer. The flavor will be mostly the same, but I find the whites less flavorful, and as Starcadia said rougher on the gums. It's completely personal preference, and I would aim for a 50-50 split on your first order. It's hard to find stated anywhere, but General Onyx is a white portion(though the portions themselves are colored black). If you like licorice, I would recommend LD Black. The flavor lasts forever, and the licorice flavor is great :^)

                  True.

                  In the beginning I was very concerned about my snus going bad from lack of refrigeration - if I had a can out for the entire day I was afraid that I had to throw it out! But really ... there's no need to be religious about it. These days I sometimes have a can out for days (even had a couple of forgotten ones that spend weeks in my bag) and it's no problem. The only reason I actually keep it in the fridge is because I prefer my snus cold.

                        My second can of PB from the roll is sitting like a king in my shiny Icetool portion tin.

                            The Skruf and the Knox are pretty close in flavor. You may want to switch one of them with something else, but it looks like a pretty good order. I like all the ones you have listed. If you do want to switch you could try Göteborgs Rapé #2. That would give you another white portion as well as something berry flavored.

                              Since Knox is about a dollar less, I'll stick with the Knox and I'll go with your reccomendation for the GR #2 As soon as I can run across a dadblasted credit card, I'll go ahead with this order. One concer I have though now is I sorta have sensitive gums. Will it be a problem with any of what Ive goton this list? Cheerz!
