    My Phantom Los Review

    Got my BOX in the mail today.

    Inlcued were plenty of Skruf Los and Portions.

    I ordered 1 can of Phantom Los in honor of Xobeloot.

    This stuff is actually damn good.

    I dont taste the lemon or bergamont as much. It has a nice taste, a lil salt, and just over all great flavor for a really cheap snus.

    Now it will not replace my Skruf Los but it will hold a place beside it in my fridge.

    The pris that you can form with it holds up very well and as much as i poked at it to release flavor it never fell apart.

    Nice product with good taste at an excellent value.

    Definately will re-order.

    I really like it.

    The flavor reminds me of expensive tea.

      woot! good to hear! You are right on too... You can abuse the pris as much as you want and it NEVER falls apart.

      I love the fact that I can order about 22 cans of loose for under $50 shipped.

        I see this as a Diamond in the Ruff snus.

        I think V2 catches too much flak.

        Thats just my opinion and you cant make anyone like something so im not trying to do that.

        If you havent tried this then you should.

        Its a low cost alternative with good flavor.

        The one thing i love is the flavor and the price that comes with it.

        It will not replace my Skruf but like I said before it will stand right beside it.

        I let a buddy of mine try it out and he agrees with me and will probably order it as well.

          I'm still working through my first shipment of los, but I have tried the phantom blue. Yeah, it smells like windex. However, it's very tasty stuff! I like it. I will have to use it more to develope an informed opinion, but I like it so far.

            Strange as it seems, I think that's why I'm about to give it another shot! Is that odd?

            Fine, I like the smell of Windex. I guess I'm odd.

            I really need to stop the drunk-posting.

                Granit is my bargain loose of choice. Only tried the phantom portion, lasted about 5 minutes before I had to take it out. My wife laughed as I ran to the trash can shouting "it's like I put evil in my mouth!"

                  Im reviewing Los , not portion.

                  Please dont get the 2 confused.

                  General Opinion is their portions suck but the los is good.

                  I mean i would take Phantom Classic over Grov and maybe over 2 more brands of Top Line snus'.

                    I understand that, but my opinion on the potential of the los is based on my experience with the portion...

                      IMHO, V2 does get an undeserved bad rap. I used to hate the blue portion. I left it in my freezer for about three months. Tried it out again. Not too shabby. I have to wonder if the los is that much better like Xol writes about ever chance he gets. There are many people here that think that the Cranberry is pretty damn good. I like it quite a bit. You can't go wrong for the price. With regards to Granit: It is not bad, but is so unremarkable that you might as well get something that you might really enjoy. There is little enjoyment to be obtained from Granit or Grov...Give me Ettan los or even a Phantom Blue for something different and enjoyable.

                        Phantom Blue is certainly something different. And you know what, I am almost starting to like it for that exact reason. At a certain time of night, when I am preparing to make the transition to my bedroom and get ready to sleep soon, I seem to crave that different. That's when I always had my Triumph. I'm out, and I have started to use my remaining Phantom Blue in the Triumph's place, I have one a day, and I am so happy for that kinda sweet different at that moment, the break from all the normal stuff I snused on all day.

                        But still, if I could get more Triumph, I would so prefer that. I LOVED Triumph original

                          Would love to have tried Phantom if it didn't have bergamot. Which after tasting it in so many of the snuses, I just can't stand the (to me) the mediciney and overpowering taste of bergamot.

                            I dont know if the Phantom Classic has bergamot or not. I dont really taste any but then again my taste buds are pretty muted because some of the things people tell me they taste i just cant.

                            I know Offroad Orig. has Bergamot and didnt know if i would like it or not but will prob order a can next week and compare it to the Phantom.

                            Hey Xobeloot, you have any comparison of Offroad Orig to The Phantom Classic?

                              I just had my second pris of Blue Phantom...

                              I honestly like it.

                              I was so skeptical about what it would smell like. Yes, it does smell spot on exactly like Windex glass cleaner.

                              It is flavored well and has a balanced sweetness. Not overpowering flavor at all, not subtle either. Just right.

                              I struggled to pin down what that flavor reminds me of. It doesn't taste quite like the smell would lead you to believe. The best thing I could come up with is that it is similar to candy wax lips.

                              It really has a flavor that is familiar to me, something from my childhood. Like a lost memory. Wax lips is the best description I have.

                              I will be ordering more. What a great price.

                              I got a super fresh moist can. It bakes well and holds up really long.
