    For me, I think General for sure is roll worthy, and probably Ettan (I'm still deciding. I like it, but do I like it 10 cans-worth?) and I'm deciding about Roda Lacket. I haven't opened my other cans, but I'm expecting good things from Probe, and probably Gustavus as well.

      This is just too personal, so I'm hesitating to name or to recommend any brand.

      The rule for me is to only buy a single brand by the roll, if I will consume it up to the best-before-date or shortly after. I'm just not convinced that freezing is any good for natural food products, like snus.

      Due to the tax increases of the last two years (for EU-customers - and some rumours in German forums, that another minor tax-increase will come in 2009, which I have not further investigated until now), I'm considerig to buy any brand by the roll, that I will consume within a year, to save on costs, which means that I'll have to freeze at least parts of the rolls.

      I'm quite sure about my own choice, at least for three brands, and I also know that most other brands just would grow on me, but I guess that I will never buy a single brand by the roll unless I have tested at least two or three single cans over some months. I'd suggest everyone to do the same, no matter if it costs a few Dollars or Euros more. Some brands will grow on you, but some brands will more or less become boring to some extent. For me, the modern 'newbie-brands' become less and less desireable with every day, while the 'classic brands' (no matter how long the single brand exists - it's more a matter of the flavoring or the lack of it :wink get more and more interesting.

      It's a personal decision after all, so yes, I will not name any brand.

      Cheers!

        ETTAN!!!!!!!
        Goatesburg Prima Fint & Rape los
        Skruf los
        N & J
        General anything except wintergreen


        Redman natural fine cut is also "roll worthy," IMO.

          I'm a pretty simple (sterk/stark) kind of guy:

          General Sterk
          Skruf Stark Portion
          Nick & Johnny Portion

          I love all the flavors and the added nicotine boost. They are all unique and great in my honest opinion.

            1. Ettan for sure, just got my first roll of it.
            2. Roda Lacket, tastes a lot like Ettan, just less salt or somthing
            3. Phantom blue, Awsome stuff

            Those are all loose, I really only like loose but have to have some portions for the bars and I like Rape #2 to fill that need.

              portion:
              #1 with a bullet: Röda white portion!
              #2 Taboca...no not the failed pre-Marlboro crap, the Swedish one
              #3 General Onyx


              lös:
              #1 Röda Lacket!
              #2 Probe
              #3 Phantom Classic blue
              I may mix it up in the future but Röda has her claws in my back, tough.

              I really changed my mind about Grov w.p., all I can taste now is a slight dill pickle taste that others have complained about in Kronan snus.

                So far the only thing I've ordered in a roll was Roda Lacket. I'm happy I did because I really like Roda Lackett and it is terribly convenient for those times when you need to make a furiously fast and discreet pris. I find that I keep ordering a few cans of General with each order, so I think that I may have to start ordering that in rolls.

                However, I'd say that if there's one snus I could do all day long every day, it would be Gotlands Grasnus. I love that anise flavor and the underlying tobacco. It's clean, smooth, and not too overpowering. I think I'm going to order a roll. I'll just have to freeze some of my RL.

                  I'm glad to hear the Roda Lackett is getting good reviews, because I've got a tin in my little coke fridge waiting for me when I get home. I haven't tried it yet. I've got a roll, plus 3 free tins of Montecristo coming any day now. It was my first. After two prillas, I was hooked, got on line, and ordered a roll. With 3 free tins, it's one hell of a deal. www.snusbutican.com is the only place I know that will ship Montecristo. If anyone knows other sites, please let me know. I'd like to compare prices. I love Ettan also, but I've got a little blood pressure problem (thanks to smoking) that won't like the salt much. I like it, have to use it sparingly.

                    Totally agree. Just received my first roll of General sterk which is my reg snus right now and I can see myself going through at least a tin every four days along with the mixing up with other snus on the side
