Personal tastes compared

[Subtilo]

standfast: you should prolly also try the Montecristo .... fine + rich taste. I know you really can't compare Montecristo with Luckies, but for some reason I tend to place them in the same 'taste-area'. Maybe worth a try?

Once again I'm nearly out of snus . I have this one can of Offroad Liquorice that's been hanging in my fridge for about a month now, it's really hard to describe how awfully sweet this is. Somehow I expected this to be at least a bit fresh, but what a disappointment. If you like Catch liquorice then give it a try and you'll appreciate the taste even more. And if not, forget you ever heard the name Offroad liquorice. I'm repeating myself but this is just awful :F .

I like it very much (Offroad Liquorice), although I think I know what you're referring to. It has a quite heavy taste but to me that doesn't equate with "not fresh".
Oh well.. it's still nowhere near Offroad original though.

No problem.
A good cigar can be very nice, and I think that the Montecristo snus is a fine tribute to the taste of the MC-cigar. I wasn't the slightest bit disappointed with it. But when it comes to Romeo y Julieta it's another story. I tried the cigar a couple of times years ago and it was good. But when I tried the snus variant my sense of taste simply curled up in to a big question mark. There is a odd undermining taste of aniseed in it and I (still) find it more annoying than pleasing. I dunno why that is; I never had a problem with aniseed and I enjoy drinks like Pernod, Ouzo and Absinthe ... but when it comes to snus it just doesn't do the job for me.

BTW you should also also try the General Onyx. That's a special one.

If you like lucky strike then definitely gotesborg no 1. Roda is nice and spicy also.

Thanks,you all have been a big help on this next order.So many people have spoke about original Goteborgs Rape that I just have to try it.I didn't at first because of the low nic content,but the taste must be great!Also will go with offroad strong cranberry and strongcut,thanks chainsnuser.Also will try offroad original loose and compare with the Goteborgs Rape loose and let you know know what I think Graig de Tering.Subtilo,I use to go eat at a place in Panama city on the ocean.The owner would always bring out a bottle of Ouzo,most people didn't like it.I did,but maybe that was after 3rd glass. :lol:
I am a little upset with you zero after your statement about 9/11,but I'll get over it.Still like you.

Take Care All
Wish us luck on our trip
Later,standfast

I just tried Skruf original again after having had one a little bit ago and the funniest thing is, I can't taste it at all. It's weird. The first time I had it tastes like citrus but now it tastes like zilch.

Thats how it taste to me too. I had a whole roll go bad on me once because i just would not use it not because it tasted bad but because it did not seem to have a taste and I had other snus on hand.

Skruf Stark portions don't have much of a taste to me either.... well not a good taste. sort of a sour what's wrong with this stuff taste. i've never tried the loose stark so wonder how that is.

Skruf stark is a pure-tobacco snus - no added flavours so it's pretty plain. The fact that it's extra strong gives it more of a taste of just "potent" rather than so much a tobacco taste. Not the tastiest snus, for sure, but it's got kick. Nick and Johnny has a nicer flavour for a strong snus, I think.

In contrast to Zero, I would like to say, that Skruf Stark really has a strong taste of soda and nicotine, but the main flavor, I think, is just as advertised: rose oil and bergamot.

Bergamot is a citrus fruit and a main ingredient of Eau de Cologne. I'm no real Eau de Cologne fan myself. I use it only to let small wounds heal a bit faster, which is for what the stuff originally was invented, during the Napoleonian wars. In the following, long period of peace, the manufacturers changed their "marketing strategy" and began to sell Eau de Cologne as a perfume. No joke!

Rose oil may also be uncommon to the most of us, but I come from a city, that has one of the largest rose breedings in the world in our municipal park. So, such unusual gifts, as "rose-liqueur" are sometimes given away for free by our municipal administration.

To make it short: bergamot doesn't smell too good and - believe me - one glass of rose liqueur was enough for my whole life, but the combination, as found in Skruf Stark, is just brilliant - it works for me!

Also, after about two hours, Skruf Stark Portions develope the finest pure tobacco taste, I ever got to know and at that point they still deliver enough nicotine for at least another hour.

Highly recommended, though Skruf Stark may surely not be everyone's favorite.

Cheers!

hah, well you're right, I concede. I've been using nothing but skruf stark for the past few months so I guess the flavour has just become null for me, it just tastes stark to me :lol: Still, obviously, one of my favourites 8) I'd say that bergamot is a great flavour, mind you. Earl Grey tea is fantastic!

[carotevi]

For me Grovsnus which i used for about a year is pure tobacco but skruf stark having bergamot and rose oil in it it seems like it would have some kind of taste. i need to try some skruf stark loose. Right now N&J loose is tops in my book. I like it better than any regular or strong snus.

[nj]

I usually prefer Skruf portion.

Skruf, General, Genaral Onyx, GrovSnus , (all portion)

Gustavus, Diplomat, Nick and Johnny (all portion)

Granit , Prince, Lucky Strike, Røda Lacket, Ettan (all portion)

[Master Chief]

im a big fan of lucky strike, in my opinion it is one of the better snus brands
ive also had roda lacket, ettan and goteborgs rape, and of those three, i gotta say that ettan is the better snus
im still dying to get my hands on nick and johnny, but i dont want to waste money on a snus brand that i might not like. can anyone say for sure if its a good one?

[Craig de Tering]

I haven't tried it myself yet (have an other own favorite of mine) but everybody else who's tried it, goes all weak in the knees for it. It's that good.
