    Shoutout From 2012 and Recommendation wanted

    It’s been a while...I had to make a new user account, but found my old one (ChaoticGemini) and it says I haven’t been here since 2012. I’ve tried to pop-in a few times over the years, but could not remember my password and had no access to my old email. Is there anyone still around from that many years ago?

    I’m feeling like a new snuser all over again. I had settled in to a regular snus and would occasionally grabbed a random can or two to try, but that was it. Now, my regular has been discontinued and I’m struggling to find a new replacement. I loved Nick & Johnny Original Strong. All the recommendations say that Feneral is supposed to replace it, but I know I dislike bergamot. So, I’m ordering random cans and not finding satisfaction. I’m getting ready to make another random can order and hoping some of my fellow users (and perhaps N&J lovers) have some ideas of what to throw in my order.

    Have you tried N&J Americana? I really like it, got a roll on my last order. I understand about the bergamot, I don't like it either. I have been using Snus less than 2 months and have tried 47 different ones, 23 of which I can't stand, and only 7 that I really enjoy, the others are usable, but not great. Another you might want to try is Jakobsson Melon, I like both the regular and the slim white. Good luck

          Nothing really compares to that one, honestly. Maybe try Grov Original, it's a good, bold tobacco taste (no bergamot). It's not as leathery as NJ, but it's still robust in flavor.

            I have tried all the other N&J’s and don’t like them. I was thinking about Grov. I know I tried it years ago, but I don’t really remember the taste (which means I didn’t hate it, probably just that it wasn’t as good as my regular). I was going to grab a couple of cans of Ettan too. It’s weaker and more boring than I’m used to, but at least I know I’ll have something to get me through. I don’t usually like mint, but finding the Skruf Björnbär I have in right now, not too bad for something different; just don’t like flavors all the time.

              Maybe try a can The Lab02.....it reminds me of NJ Strong in a way....less nic but still strong. You can't beat Grove as a basic simple snus, xlnt tobacco flavor.
