Longest lasting????

[fedora]

Sorry if it is already posted here.

Question is:

What portions, mini portions or loose is the longest lasting in terms of flavor?

Any flavor, any grind, any type.

I find that as I have my portions in they lose flavor and go a little bitter.

I know part of the fun is trying - but what if I try 98 brands and types, and the very last one is the longest lasting? I guess that would be fun - but maybe I can tap the wealth of knowledge here.

Thanks.

Im also new to the snusland. Ive only tried 6 different types, but what ive noticed so far is the stronger the snus the longer it lasts .. Im not sure if it directly related to how much tobacco the portion acctually contains but I think it is .. Nick and Johnny lasts up to two hours without getting really soggy and bland, Skruf about an hour to an hour and a half, and my General Portions last 45 mins to an hour of flavor.

I'm pretty new as well. I can't remember where here I read this but, The consensus seems to be that the White portions take a bit to get the flavor but last longer and the regular (brown) portions come on fast with flavor but, don't last as long. Loose lasts the longest. I may have it a bit mixed up but, IMO, the General brands I've tried last about 1.5 to 2 hours and the Goteborgs Rape lasts about 45 minutes. BTW, I hope i'm corrected in the opening statement

I don't really time it, I just keep them in until they taste kind of dead and out they go...

But, on average, I keep a large portion in for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

To be honest they all seem to last about the same, that is taking in account they are swedish.

They all have their own little thing to em.

I have tried most all snus los and portion.

Los will ast as long as portion as long as the pris is packed good enough.

Honestly their is no super long lasting snus that shines above all others.

Triumph has proven itself to last over 3 hours but i get tired of it before i reach that mark.

As long as its quality snus itll last you long enough to satisfy.

Hmmm, longest lasting:

Usually the General Onyx lasts at least an hour of good flavor.

The 1847 seems to last long also - the only thing is that after a long long time in, the portion seems to take on a bitter/sour taste, usually I only notice after a long time in (maybe after 45 minutes or so?).

Montecristo goes on and on and on and on and on. Those portions have TONS of flavor that never seems to end. If you like a spicy taste, I'd say give those a shot!

What else... hmmm...

Nick and Johnny West usually has quite a bit of staying power.

Mocca+ Eucalyptus minis have a flavor that lasts a long long time also.



Most of my Skruf Sterk portions seem to NOT last too long - usually after a half-hour I can't taste is unless I mess with the portion in my mouth.

IMO Jakobsson's has the longest lasting flavor for a portion. It's the one I usually fall asleep with and if I wake up in the middle of the night it still tastes good. N&J lasts a long time also as does Gustavas which has become one of my favorites of late.

It depends on how you use them too... I've sucked a pris of Goat Rape dry of any flavour in 30 minutes before.

I'm gonna nod in agreement to James. I've been pleasantly surprised at how long the overall flavor and saltiness lasts with Jakkobson's IceFruit portion. It's really good stuff, I hadn't found a portion can that I like well enough to order a whole roll. I have snus ADD, I need to change it up. But the J's IceFruit is good enough that I'd consider getting an entire roll, maybe 2.

Come to think of it Taboca lasts a very long time also. Perhaps as they're made in the same factory as Jakobsson's they are manufactured the same way. Both have a similar flavor profile IMO, although I have the feeling that I may be disappointed with Taboca's new Klondike product as it looks to be geared more towards dippers.

I pretty much only use los, but I do go through a tin of portions about once every month or so. Portions only last me an hour at most it seems. I keep my los in for on average 4 hours. My los only starts losing some flavor a little after 3 hours. I have occasionally kept los in for up to 6 hours without much flavor loss. I think Gustavus is personally one of the longest lasting los for me, but really just about all los lasts as long as you will need it. After about 4 hours I will just throw another one in anyways. I am a non-stop snuser and probably don't have a snus in for about 1 hour total of a day. I just absolutely love the stuff and can never get enough of it. Now I just wish there were some more los flavors to try.

PM, I have to agree with you about the Gustavas loose. I use portions throughout the day for work and convenience but liked the Gustavas portions so much I ordered a roll of the loose. It really seems to stay together nicely, I was able to flip it around in my mouth without any breakup, and that was after three hours.
