    I need a new los

    I love los.... but it seems my favorite flavors are portion only brands.

    Such as Lucky Strike, Jakobsons and so on.

    Ive been trying to find a los with some salty notes and a little citrus.

    General Was OK but it didnt deliver.

    Grov is OK lil better than the general ... im coming around to it.

    Gotlands Gul is good but hardly any saltiness and too much of an earthy note

    Goteborgs Rape is too sweet but still a good flavor but not an everyday thing

    I just ordered some Roda Lacket for a try but what do you guys think i will like?

    I just trying to find a good flavor los but seems my tastes are too fickle

    CAN WE PLEASE GET SOME JAKOBSSONS LOS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Skruf is good.

    Roda is not very salty. I like the texture and flavor enough to keep it in my rotation.

    Kronan has a lot of flavor, only because it's really coarse and doesn't stay together very well.

    General does it for me when I want something savory.

    umm, try the g. yellow. I haven't got it yet, but it's in my next order I placed last night.

    prima fint is not really heavily flavored, but I enjoy it.

    I guess for something really flavorful you might try probe, but you may be turned off by the unusual sourness. I find it too moist. I was disapointed due to the fact that when I used cope I would give the can a dash of bourbon if it started to dry out. Probe whiskey sounded good in theory. try it.

    Grov you already tried.

    Ettan is pretty mild.

    I've got 22 cans coming. about 12 different varieties. I'll let you know which is saltiest.

      Phantom Classic Los.

      Buy a can. It is salty, Peppery and a nice citrus. If you think it sucks, what have you wasted? less than $2

        Ive tried Gotlands Gul and its a great snus. Its just not an all the time thing for me.

        I love everything the gotland snus company stands for and wish they had i los i can just fall in love with but alas they do not.

        Unless they introduce Jakobssons Los some day.

        I just want something thats got a salt content you can taste with a jakobssons portion flavor ya know.

        I know roda is a lil on the sweet side but i got to try em all. Snus is like pokemon you gotta get em all.

        But i just want a los i can sit back and enjoy all the time. Ive yet to find one of those. I know goteborgs rape no 2 is deliciously slaty. I love those portions but yet again its not in los form.

          Gustavus has a nice salty flavor, and Level, while hard to recommend is pretty tasty.

            If all else fails, you could always take some table salt, hit it in a mortar/pestil and increase the salt content of your favorite snus manually.

              I really don't taste salt anymore. I think those tastebuds died. I would highly suggest Granit Los. I find it has a slight citrus taste.

                I was pleasantly surprised by Granit, I found the flavor to be quite good, definitely in the General taste profile, but I found the citrus more pronounced and it had a longer lasting flavor. Wish I had gotten more than 1 can.
                You might also want to try the aforementioned Level, it is also a lower tier snus, but I didn't find the flavor objectionable, not my thing, but I could definitely see some appeal there.

                As you can tell, there is a person for every snus, so really I would just order any los you haven't tried and go from there. You would probably find at least one that is pretty close to perfect for you (and as others have said, try some again in a couple months, you may find your tastes have changed)

                  The granit is a great snus, it has an earthy smell as well. Great taste, acutally i enjoy granit while drinking root beer, or irish whiskey
