    Phantom Classic Blue portion review

    I got my first order of snus a few weeks ago and I have been mainly using Triumph original mixed in with a few other brands recently and today I grabbed out of my freezer my tin of Phantom Classic Blue portions.

    When I first tried it when my order arrived, I liked it, but I don't think I took the time to really get the flavor.

    If there is one thing I have noticed is that most snuses need a "primer" taste, and then a few days later a deeper analysis.

    The smell:

    When I opened the tin, I was hit with an overwhelming smell of lemon and tobacco. It's an interesting mix that I found very pleasing.

    The taste:

    I was hit right off with a lemony taste. The portion started off a bit sweet and as the drip started it quickly turned into a savory lemon flavor with subtly flowery highlights.

    Although I have not had a nic hit from any snus since I started it was very satisfying from that perspective.

    All around I found it to be enjoyable, more so than when I first tried it.

    I am even more encouraged to try the other snuses that I got again to see how my perceptions of their flavors have changed over the last few weeks.

    Interesting review. I haven't tried any Phantom yet, but people on this board seem to like it. I will buy a few tins when I place my next order.

    Thanks for the info!

      Phantom classic and blue, as well as some of the offroad flavors (original and cranberry) have been staples in my daily snus intake for quite some time.

      Thew loose versions are quite enjoyable. The portions are close, but just not as good as the loose.

      Well worth a try. If you don't like it, you haven't wasted much $. If you do like it, you've found yourself something that runs $17 a roll

        I tell you, it's an interesting dilemma for me, I love the taste of offroad flavored snus, and I love the flavor of Phantom Blue; but V2 snus makes my stomach SO upset! I want to like it, I really do, but it just doesn't agree with me.

        As los snus goes though, it's some of the easiest to use stuff out there.

          The only snus that has ever given me any problems is GR Los. Stuff tore up my stomach and gave me these ungodly migraines.

            Luckily no snus I have tried has ever given me any issues other than the first time I tried General. I swear my tongue swelled up like a balloon when I went to bed that night.

            I guess I just needed to get used to the stuff because none of them do that any more.

            I could have been flicking it with my tongue too much and getting an overdose of salt, but that's all I can think of now.

            It's not such a new thing now so portions tend to just sit in place and are rather passive other than the great flavors!

              I'm excited, my free random tin in my latest buysnus order was Phantom Blue Classic. It's in the freezer for now, but I'm excited to try it.

                PHantom blue los is great. First los i tried, besides from dumping out portions and making my own los. I can't quite figure out the taste, but it's a very familiar taste. I'm thinking it might be ginger ale mixed with sprite.

                  I love the Blue lös and would have never tried it if it weren't for Xobe!! I get a "Lemonhead" flavor from it!

                  On the stomach issue, there are only a few portion snus' that DON'T tear my stomach apart! Typically, it's only the strong portion snus' that do a number on me. I haven't had a prob with lös so far.

                    With Phantom Blue, I get green jello, but in a good way.

                      You're both right, it tastes like green jello, and also tastes like lemonheads, it kind of tastes like gobstoppers too.
