I have used a lot of snus in my time, and I seem to come back to this snus. Just a great tobacco taste with just enough flavor to make it interesting. After a couple hundred cans I do think it is my favorite snus. The Los is a completely different flavor profile from the portions. It is also my favorite los, other than GN's most heavenly coffee, which is just about gone. Just a shout out for an old stalwart snus which gets little mention really.

I like it, but That's one where I prefer the portion version. Every time I open a tin of Grov lös, I'm vaguely disappointed it isn't Ettan. I enjoy it, but... -
Not had a chance to try it...Originally posted by lxskllr
lxskllr,
Is Grov portion similar to Ettan portion?
I really digging them one day ill try the loose.Comment

Going from memory, Grov is more flavorful, with more pronounced chocolate notes. I thought Ettan portion was a little bland. I haven't had Ettan portions since 2007, so take that with a grain of salt. I use lössnus almost 100%Originally posted by tattooer601Comment

I love grov, like LX I prefer the portions to the loose. It is stronger in flavour than ettan and a bit earthier. I can honestly say I have never once tasted chocolate in ettan or grov and I have used a lot of both lol.Comment

Grov all the way, man! I buy rolls of it at a time. I think I like the white portion the best followed by the OP, then the los, then black. I think Motorhead is the OP in a different can.
I get leather, smoke, pepper, and tobacco from them but I do agree with the above that the los has a different taste...still Grov, but different. Grov and Ettan are somewhat similar in that the nuances of flavors are pretty much in the same proportion to the tobacco but, personally, I get more chocolate and sweet hints from Ettan. I can use the los interchangeably but when it comes to portion Grov always wins.
Thunder has replaced N&J for my staple sterk due to cost but nothing is good enough to beat Grov IMO even if it were free. 90% of my snus usage are these two brands heavily weighted towards Grov.Comment

Lower decking some Grov los right now
I love it and like Whalen it has been one of my standards from very early on
It's funny that Lx should mention Ettan.........I have only just made peace with Ettan recently.........there was a time when I gave rolls of it away in contests............but now I am pleased to say it is one of my favorites as well
guess your taste do changeWhen it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengersComment

My staple daytime snusii are General, Ettan, and Grov (all loose). I'll go through a roll of one and then switch. I do also use some Grov OP in my portion rotation. I remember liking the Grov Svart but I haven't re-ordered it and probably won't.
Grov loose has less flavor than General and more that Ettan IMO. I love them all

I've had one can of Grov op's and liked it a lot, but it was in direct competition with Ettan op's for a roll purchase and the Ettan won. Maybe next time for the Grov.Comment

I have some Grov loose coming in the mail, it should be here tomorrow around lunch time. I'm really excited to try it out!Comment

Only tried the Los. It was ok to me. I prefer Prima fint to grov/ettan. All are definitely good. I dont care for the ettan portions, maybe i got a particuarly dry can, maybe i dont realize most portions arent nearly as moist as thunder.Comment

I've had the Motörhead edition of Grov, and while it wasn't bad snus, I can't really see myself reordering it. Tasted a bit dry and bland.Comment

The Motorhead was Grov in a fancy can, regular Grov portions otherwise. Grov benefits from a small spritz of water. One of my longtime snus items has been a one dollar fine atomizer bottle bought from the Wal-Mart travel size bin, it sprays a fine mist, and I keep it full of distilled water. I use it at least once a can, and los needs it about half way through.wiki "Popcorn Sutton" a true COOT!Comment

Sure enough I got my grov loose today and I am loving it so far.
It's freezing outside today, so when I grabbed it from the mail box it was nice and cold
