Personal tastes compared

[BlackBart]

Am a new snus user and must say that the mixed lot from buysnus was great and I have enjoyed them all. so far my favorites have been Offroad strong, Jakkobsen and skruf cranberry. The General silver is just to mild, also liked Kronan and LD. I wish I could buy it here

After six months of trying a ton of brands I think my preference is leaning towards snus that is a little more heavily flavored with either mint, berries, anise, citrus etc.

[bearcat87]

I really don't have a fav. Although I can say that out of all the snus I have tried, general (all types) get old after a while.

[sentry103]

Grov Black, Claq Qui, General Onyx

Goat Rape and Rape #2, Mocca Mint, N&J,

:? Most everything else other than :

:x Most V2 products / Offroad - Coffee& Vanilla is tolerable

:x :x :x :x :x Elyxir power energy :x :x

[sychodelix]

General (white, original portion and Sterk), Goteborgs Rape, Ettan, Nick & Johnny

Knox, Probe, Skruf Stark

Phantom, most Offroad except Icemint, Diplomat. Anything with too much anise or Bergemot is BAD. And anything with licorice...yuck!

There's a whole lot I haven't tried yet though. When I have more time I'll look for some people that have tastes similar to mine and see what new stuff I might try.

i'm pretty new to snus, and i use about 1 portion a day, i'm not a heavy user. i've been using catch white eucalyptus. i like the minty flavour of it, but i wonder if there is something much better that i could be using?! i don't really want to go and buy lots of different flavours to try as i probably wouldn't use them by the expiry date. any suggestions? (considering i use portions, and don't want anything too strong)
thanks!

OK, I've only tried one order so far, but my initial reactions from my first six tins...

Onyx Whites

General Portion, General White Portion, Catch Eucalyptus

:? Skruf Original White

:x Ice-Fruit...after 10 seconds it tastes like ass


I've got two more orders of 20 tins coming.

[Svarthvitt]

General Extra Sterk loose & portion, Skruf sterk, Nick And Johnny (In the circular tin).

General loose, Lucky Strike original, Elixyr Power Energy

:? Catch Eucalyptus, Røda Lacket, General Sterk

Mocca, M by mocca, Level, Nick and Johnny East/West

[DarrylR]

After one month's sampling (I tried a couple portions of every variety that came in a few sampler boxes, and keeping a handful out of the freezer):

Skruf Original/White, Catch Eucalyptus

General Original, Gotland Green, Gotland Julesnus

:? Elixyr Power Energy, Goteborgs Rape, Northerner Energy, Probe Whiskey, Tre Ankare White, Wise Citrus/Menthol (now Ommph) (3/6 mg),

Catch Licorice, Catch Cassis/Licorice, Nick & Johnny East, Wise Original (3/6 mg), Wise Vin & Kocksnus

My preference has become flavored large portions, where both the tobacco and the flavoring stand out. I haven't settled on a preference for white or standard portions yet. I like the slow flavor development in whites, but like the flavor shock of a soggy bag too. For the time being, I'm avoiding the starks, as I'd like to keep open the option of keeping my nicotine intake moderate.

I discovered I dislike licorice snus as much as the candy. The Wise products have almost no discernable tobacco flavor, which is a virtue in the Northerner Energy snus but a negative (for me) elsewhere. The Catch Eucalyptus is sort of an exception to that rule, but I find it pretty refreshing, easily better than the Wise menthol minis.

[senork]

Ettan White, Goteborgs Rape White, General Wintergreen, General Extra Sterk

Roda Lacket, General White

:? Nick & Johnny East, Offroad Cranberry, Phantom White

:cry: Nick & Johnny Strong (burns my tongue like I drank hot coffee too fast), General (way too runny)

All portions. Ettan and GR are both competing for the top spot.

Updated May 2010

General Extra Sterk, Nordstrommen Julesnus Los, Nick and Johny Original

Nick and Johny Black, Nordstrommens Julesnus portion, N&J West (still have half a roll) and

:? Thunder original, Odens Kanel ES, General ES los, Phantom/Rothbrix blue

Grovsnus Black, Offroad American Wintergreen Longcut, Probe Whisky,Jackobson's Classic, Gotlandsnus Julesnus.

I could pretty much live just on General ES if I had to. The V2 los Julesnus is the first los I have tried that is better than the portion, I really hope it gets imported under PACT!!!
