    Los with a strong flavor

    I've been a snus user for about 3 years but only in the past month have I tried Los. So far I've only had
    Ettan and Roda Lacket. These are great but don't have a lot of flavor. I like General and Grov as far as portions go. What are some Los brands that have a good strong taste?

    I LOVE General Ekstra Sterk los, and Thunder Frosted los if you dig mint. Also, Grov los is by far my favorite los in the "regular" strength department. If you already dig Grov portion, you HAVE to give Grov los a shot.

      I buy Thunder frosted portions all the time because they're available locally. I thought about trying Off road Frosted Los instead because I like to make a fairly large prilla and I wouldn't want to do that with sterk. I generally go for sterk portions though. So Grov has more flavor than Ettan?

        Try the Offroad Frosted, it's good too. As for the Grov, yes it has more flavor than Ettan...IMO, but I'm sure others would argue that Ettan is more flavorful. I'd say try both :-)

          Offroad Frosted is good, but I found I prefer that in a portion. I seem to have settled on weird flavors being portions, and traditional snus being lös. One exception to that is Grov. That's the only traditional snus where I prefer the flavor of the portion. Overall I like the lös better though. Odens No3 is a great flavorful bergamot, and I like Offroad lakrits, but licorice is a love/hate thing with people. I love it. If you hurry, you can get Gotlandssnus Julesnus from Northerner. It's a nice Xmas snus, and comes in a 50g tin.

          Otherwise, you'll get more flavor from Ettan and Röda over time. Taste buds need to be trained to snus, both have a huge flavor to me. Not in an American TRY NEW FLAMING GOOBERS DORITOS!!! huge flavor way, but a long lasting, complex flavor that has a lot to it.

              Offroad/Thunder Frosted. Both are fantastic with a lös. I'm also a big fan of Göteborgs Prima Fint; but I wouldn't call that a strong flavored lös.

                One I've tried lately that I really like is Kronan. It's got some herb flavour, some even say dill. It's apparently a love it or hate it snus and most seem to hate it but I like it.

                  Welcome to the forum mate!!

                  I came to snus from dip and so bolder flavored Los was a big deal to me. I also am not big on mint or fruity snus.

                  Anyway, here is my 2 cents worth

                  General ES
                  Odens Original (either ES or Regular)
                  Odens Extreem
                  Gustavus
                  Phantom Blue
                  Granit
                  Odens #3
                  Knox
                  Grov
                  Gotlands Jule (unique and herbal taste)
                  When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

                    Grov Los is pretty flavorful if you dig the earthy notes in snus. I'm also a Kronan fan and think it's worth a try.

                      I'm a Grov man.

                      Unfortunately you missed out on Tabocca los, I believe. Anyhow, get a can of Oden's Extreme. That blazes up my mouth pretty good. The Thunder is a good strong flavor too, but I prefer the pouches for some reason. If you like mint, the the spearmint ones are good too (I can't believe I actually typed that).

                        Grov Loose, Skruf Stark Loose, Knox Loose, any Oden's Loose, General Extra Strong Loose, Graint Loose (a must IMO), Nordstrommen Brandy Alexander (if they still sell it).
