      :? Lucky Strike
      :? Gustavus
      :? LD
      :? Göteborgs Rapé
      :? Tre Ankare

      :twisted: Kronan
      :twisted: Catch
      :twisted: Mocca
      :twisted: Granit

      I have never tried the wintergreen that I've read about in these threads. I don't think they exist over here...

      I usually use portion snus to avoid the mess, but I like the taste of lös better.

      I'm not sure if it is of any interest, but I thought I could write down a short swedish - english dictionary of some important snus words..

      Lös = Loose
      Grov = Thick / Rugged
      Stark = Strong
      Svart = Black
      Ettan = The number one
      Göteborg = Gothenburg (city in Sweden)
      Mint = Spearmint
      Röda = Red
      Kronan = The Crown
      Granit = Granite
      Tre Ankare = Three anchor

      I looked at CBS 60 minutes regarding snus, and then found this forum. I really didn't think snus was big outside Sweden or Scandinavia. Well.. You learn anything new every day.

          I like los snus alot, so I think my first consideration in a snus I like is the cut and texture. I like coarse snus so I tend to lean towards Grov, Offroad, and Gotlandssnus. My conflict is the fact that I love the taste of Ettan, but am not a big fan of the cut. I like a snus that I put in and lasts FOREVER, and ettan doesn't stay together for me as long as Grov. I love the flavour of Ettan so much though that I keep it in my freezer at all times, but don't use it anywhere but home, because at home I don't mind a little snus in my teeth and swallowing a bit of snus as it starts to fall apart slightly. I didn't read every post on this thread so I don't know if anyone else has these opinions, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

                I have not been using snus for very long but my favorites portions so far:
                Generel Mint white #1 use this most of the day
                General extra sterk
                Thunder frosted long+
                Offroad orig
                Not so good:
                Thunder extra sterk wintergreen
                Elixyr pepparmint
                Odens extra strong cinn

                Is there Gen extra sterk mint ?

                        I generally like mint and wintergreen in my rotation. Most snus I've tried I've liked but pobably want have it again. Because my palate is set on the favorite brands but I always try new ones out.

                        I dislike sweet tasting flavors like that General Mint regular that just came out. Couldn't finish the can.

                          Too many favs so I haven't yet narrowed down a Top 5...

                          Initially couldn't stand any Wintergreen but now I think I like Jakobssons...

                                I'm new to snus and I'm sure this list will change. There are a lot of manufacturers / brands I've yet to sample... What I have sampled was pretty much based on information and opinions from snuson members ~
