    Rotation

    Before I started getting into Swedish snus hardcore like I have been lately, I never understood the concept of a rotation. But, now I find, that without even realizing it, I have my own little rotation going. I find I like to do it this way. 1 can of extra sterk, 1 can of sterk, and 1 of original, because I like to vary my strength. I like the extra sterks for school, work, or driving. I like the sterks as kinda an in between when I'm chilling at my apartment. I like the originals for the end of the night so I don't overwhelm myself with nicotine. Anyone else have a setup similar to this? If not, what it your current rotation?

    I don't vary my dosage, I keep at 8/9mg throughout the day, but I do have 4-5 cans open at any one time, usually 1 wintergreen, 1 classic flavoured, 1 liquorice, 1 cinnamon and 1 random. My logic is that a can of portions stay good open out the fridge for a week or so, and I get through about 3/4 of a can a day.

    But my rotation changes, for example I'm not using lös at the moment at all, but change is good and it will happen, maybe in winter :-)

    Rotation does make sense.

      I'll start with an Odens Extreme, then I'll want an Odens Extreme, then an Odens Extreme. Later I'll have an Odens Extreme then another one. Then it's time for an Odens Extreme, an Odens Extreme before bed and then I dream about Odens Extreme.

        For me, original in the morning, then few extra starks, then originals in the evening or an extra stark if I need to relax, los in the evening too. I rotate flavours too, usually just what I feel like at the time, mainly pure tobacco flavours or bergamot, with a fruity one thrown in during the day for a change every now and then.

          Hmm...I've had quite a few of Oden's products, and I don't know...while the snus is good quality snus, it just doesn't do it for me. Strengthwise it's good, but I find the flavor to be a bit lacking in comparison to Thunder and even Jak's. While I don't see myself ordering Oden's again, I'd always be open to trying new products GN puts out. From what I've tried so far, I see myself being more of a V2 and Swedish Match guy.

              Extreme beats Thunder original hands down for me, thunder is waaaay too harsh tasting and the nic hits too fast, with extreme the tobacco tastes good, not harsh and bitter, and the flavour and nic hang around for a long time, much easier to use daily than Thunder. Only thunder I like is the berry blend.

                I will admit, the berry blend is very good. My all time favorite of Thunder though, is Cool Orange. This is one I can do again and again and it never grows old on me.

                  I was a Thunder Frosted fan for a long time. Then Extreme came along and blew it away.
                  I only rotated when I first started snussing.

                    Day starts with plain lös to go with my morning coffee. The rest of the day alternates between plain and bergamot lös, with the occasional lakrits/anis lös, and infrequent portion.

                      I hope you have some Gotlands Grå stashed, I'd be surprised if you didn't. Shame it's retired, it had a great taste.

                        Yup. I'm not sure how much I have, but it's at least a roll. I also like Offroad lakrits lös, but it's not the same as Gotlands. The Offroad is like a dessert snus.

                          Rotation? I haven't bought snus in years.

                          But I will next spring. I am down to the nitty gritty and when I run out it will be hard to place an order.

                          Odens Extreme will be purchased, I can tell you that.

                          Rotations are for ballers nowadays. I budget snus.

                          Do we still say ballers?

                            Same for me, except replace Odens Extreme with General ES.

                              When I began using Swedish snus I would rotate a lot. Mainly because I wanted to try them all but I'm a bit OCD and never liked having more than 3 cans open at one time. Nevertheless, I would have like 10 open at one time. As I began to find favorites, it became too hard to pick favorite flavors so I rotate between strengths. Extreme Nicotine, like Odens Extreme and Thunder Raw, in the morning, Extra Sterks throughout the day and low Nicotine ones at night.
