    Star Pattern

    So I had out my can of General Sterk, General Onyx, and Triumph original. All made by Swedish Match. OK, so Triumph is marketed by Lorillard. Regardless... the STAR PATTERN is so bad ass.

    It looks especially cool with the Onyx black portion material.

    I couldn't stop staring at the Sterk can I just opened, wondering what kind of mechanical dynamo deposits these little wedge shaped gems in this pristine arrangement.

    The Sterk and Triumph cans are identical besides the stickers/labels. The Onyx is the same too only black plastic.

    I hate opening a portion can and seeing a big pile plopped inside. Swedish Match has a hit with this lineup.

    I like the Sterk I just got BTW. To me it is like the Triumph without the sugar. It doesn't seem as peppery as General, especially not as spicy as Onyx. So glad to have another strong portion to choose from.

    Anyone have any thoughts about whether Triumph is a strong portion? I'd say it is.

    I haven't tried Triumph yet, but I too like having another strong option, in white portion, even though it doesn't quite compete with Skruff and N&J in my book. I also have wondered what sort of machine is used to create the star. It's pretty cool, and I don't enjoy messing it up in the Onyx can. I don't mind the heap of portions in other cans, but I'd really enjoy a regular portion star.

      Triumph is definately not strong. I typically use 2-3 portions at once when I use Triumph.

          That suprises me. I get a kick from Triumph.

          You know what though. they taste so good I must be working them around more. I probably get more work out of a portion of Triumph than anything else. Every other brand a just pop in and leave it alone.

          I found a sweet snuff can on ebay i might pick up. It has a lid that has a few threads on he bottom so after you put it on you can give it a twist to make sure it never pops off.
