Personal tastes compared

Argh.. now I see that only the Metropol portions are left.
I thought Metropol licorice loose was still available somewhere. That was the best licorice loose snus ever.

[lxskllr]

Catch Cassis/menthol-(where's the cinnamon???) too much berry

Why would you think there should be cinnamon in this snus?
Cassis is a dark type of cherry. And menthol is...well...you know...menthol. :lol:

And where did you find Metropol? I haven't been able to find it ANYWHERE! :shock:

Doh!! I was thinking of Cassia. They're both kind of foreign names here in the USA, and I neglected to note the different ending letter. Oh well, I still don't like the snus :P but I dig other things made from currents

LOL! Like what? White-water swimming? Poking knives into electricity outlets ?

Lmao :lol: I saw my screw up, but didn't think it was worth editing the post. I do like white water swimming, though it's much better to stay in the boat :wink:

It's a sad state of affairs having your English corrected by a Dutchman :P

I've only been snussing for a month but have some definite likes and dislikes. I've only used portions so the snus I list is for those.

General, Knox, Nick and Johnny, or Skruf Stark are some I must have around from now on. I also had no problem with Kronan but it's not up with the others listed above.

I also will be buying the occasional can of Ettan, Tre Ankare, or Grovsnus.

In flavors, I enjoy the Catch Eucalyptus.

I also like some of the Offroad Strong flavors such as Wintergreen and IceMint. I initially enjoyed the Cranberry Strong portion but it got a little too cloying after a while. The Ice Mint is good but doesn't seem to hold its flavor very long. I've recently tried the Apple flavor in the limited edition can but don't care for it too much.

Snus I dislike or don't particularly care for are Goteborgs Rape, Roda Lacket and Catch Licorice.

I still have many others to sample but this is my early feelings on taste.

I'm only on my second order and still taste-testing, but here it is so far:

Lucky Strike, Grovsnus, Ettan


General Onyx, Diplomat, General


:? Flavored varieties, Camel!


Man, I *want* to like Nick & Johnny, I see a lot of praise for it in these comments, but it tastes *terrible* to me, like burning hair mixed with soap or something, a very very bad flavor. Maybe I have a bad tin or something.

[ edit ] This problem didn't happen again, I'm finding that I like N & J just fine now, it has a mellow, sweet flavor and plenty of kick. I've also dug into some older snus I had from my first order, and found out that the Grovsnus Maxi portions are awesome! Grov is a really nice snus, and the maxi portions are good and juicy, I like that.

[ edit ] I've found something very, very tasty - two Lucky Strike portions at the same time. It's about as juicy as a Grovsnus Maxi portion, and has a very satisfying kick. Mmmmm!

most likely. nick and johnny isn't a strong taste at all. very smooth and caramel-like. if you mush it about in your mouth after having it in for a while...a minty flavor with menthol mysteriously presents itself...at least with me so far. i'm referring to loose. are you using portions? they taste quite different from what i remember, closer to your description.

[FetFnask]

Ettan

Grov

:? General, Kronan, Granit

All the flavoured ones

[jmcphail]

RealmofOpeth, yes, using portions.

[RealmofOpeth]

RealmofOpeth, yes, using portions.

yeah they're a bit nasty at first but after having them in for a while i remember the flavor coming out and it was pretty decent. sort of an acquired taste. i know when i first opened my portions can i was like wtf is that piss smell. try keeping them frozen to recover from the heating up they have had to deal with in the shipment.
at any rate, n&j loose is better than portions i think.

[jmcphail]

Well, I really can't explain this, but I'm using a N&J portion right now and I'm having none of the burning-hair, soapy flavor. I also recall a hellacious burn on gums and lips with the N&J before.

This time, though, it's fine. Now that I'm thinking of it, I suspect I had just brushed my teeth and used a mouthwash and peroxide rinse - maybe I had a bad chemical reaction going.

Coincidentally, I also tried N&J again tonight, and I was able to discern the sort of mint/menthol hint of flavor that others have mentioned. If it wasn't for the incredibly high nicotine content that gives me a headache if I introduce this into a chain-snussing session, this might be one of my all-day picks.

Yeah I don't get the mint/menthol bit when i first put it in. I would say it's non-existent. After a while of having it in, wanting to get flavor to come out more or nicotine....I'll mush it about...either take it out and mush it with my fingers and rebake the pris or sorta toss it around in my mouth then fit it back in place....only then the very noticeable menthol/mint takes place. it's like a secret flavor

[itchystiches]

I was thinking it would be great to set up a little website/database that consolidates all these post into a single place. Then people could find recommendations based on the snus they like or reviews on different types of snus. Kind-of-like a social network for snusers.

Can't remember the name of it, but there's a music site with a similar principle, it has some kind of programme that displays what other bands you'd probably like if you express an interest in a particular band. Anyone know it? It displays the results as a sort of floating spider diagram.

Sounds like it'd be perfect if it could be customised a little.
