    Should I get some Nick and Johnny??

    I'm about to put in an order and from all the opinions here, I'm convinced on getting some Lucky Strike and General ONYX, but not Nick and Johnny becasue I'm not sure which of the three to get.

    Can you guys\gals help with explaining the difference between the East, West and regular types?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry that this is an indirect answer but it's the best I can do right now. IMHO... Everyone should try N&J original. It's a classic, strong, slightly sweet but not sweet. A very distinctive taste. I disliked the East. I found it inoffensive but not good. Some have opined that it tasted like their grandmothers purse. I haven't ever tasted purse but I imagine that's a good description. I've never tried the West... but have read good things about it here. So... no mistake if you try the original or west but you'll probably regret buying the east.

      It is definitely worth a taste. Toss in a single can just to try it out. If it isn't your thing, there are plenty of people here who would do a trade with ya for it.

        Yeah, can't go wrong order a single tin of any of it. I'm a big fan of the original and the west. In my last order, which hasn't arrived yet, I ordered a single can of the east just to try it. I previously stayed away due to all the negative reviews I've heard...I just figured I'd like to see if I liked it or not.

        Definitely throw in a can of West or Original on your next order.

          I'm not a fan of any of the styles. They're quality snus', they just don't suit me. I think I like the East best of the styles. The flavor doesn't seem to last long though.

            I've never had east or west, but I love original. It's a stock worthy snus IMHO...

              It sounds like you have a good idea of some high quality snus. I would buy a single can of the West and Original and see what you like. The Original is a regular portion, while the West is a white portion.

                  Get the original, the west is a white portion but the tobacco is as moist as the tobacco in the original version, they just haven't moistened the pouch material with tobacco juice. You also get more with the original. The East is one of the few brands I ever threw in the trash.

                    I absolutely love the East. In fact, it's the only snus I've ever bought a roll of. Reminds me a lot of Roda Lacket.

                        NJ original is my favorite portion, by a wide margin. Part of any well-balanced snus order, imo.

                          To me, the West seems like N&J in a white portion. I like it the best, although the regular is very good. You only get 20 portions in a can with the West or East.

                            Original it will be for this order. Thanks for the explainations, everyone. I wanted to narrow it down to one type for a small order and this third order should just about give me an idea of what to order on a regular basis.
                            The East sounds awesome though; Windex and a gradmothers purse, eh?LMAO. Most definetely want to stay away from that, but then someone mentioned it tastes like Roada Lacket, which is good.

                              Link, the one thing you will learn in your snus journey.....you must try EVERYTHING yourself. a thousand other people might hate a snus, but that will be the snus you love. Snus is so unique in how it interacts with each person, the only way you will ever know is if you try it yourself.

                              Took me about a year before I had tried just about everything
