    Least irritating/most comfortable white portions?

    I've been kinda let down by the few white portions I've tried, but there are times when a white portion would really suit my needs. They feel uncomfortable and seem to irriate my gums. The exception being the "black white portions" (onyx/grov black)

    What are your favorites?

    THX!

    I kinda just started, just two orders into snus, but out of all the white portions I've tried the Roda Lacket seemed to be the most comfortable.
    When it comes to white mini's, I'd have to say G.R. or Lucky Strike

      I have yet to find a white portion that is comfortable. I find General White Portion to be the most irritating. When I do portion I go with original, I find it to taste better, give more nicotine, and feels good.

        For me I thought the Camel portions were the most comfortable.
        I dont use Camel other then the occasional freebie but usually fold my Swedish portions in half replicating the Camel. My guess is that when the edges start to dig into the top of your teeth you will feel discomfort.

          The only portions that I dislike for the packaging is the baby diaper bags of the Phantom line. The rest I have not even thought of as being irritating. Even the Phantom bags "loosen" up in about 15 minutes. I do agree that most white portions have a stiff bag. I have not found any that are as soft as the standard bag. Alas I have not tried all of the whites though. How about a standard portion like Knox? What do you prefer about the whites, since there may be a lot a suitable regular portions that might fit your criteria?

            I agree with Slydel. The Knox and Skruf portions both sit between a regular portion and a white portion in terms of moisture content. Same goes for Gotlands. These brands have the most comfortable portions in my opinion and are very similar to the whites in the way that they don't really run

              White portions? OK this is cheating ('cause some might say these aren't real snus - and they're probably right!) but... there is a certain wonderfulness to the Wise Citrus & Menthol, and also the Northerner (Wise) Energy snus. I'll always have one or both in stock...

                Don't know about the most comfortable, but I do agree that Offroad portion bags are the most irritating. They feel like they are made of burlap, and seem to fall apart easy.

                The los however......feels great, tastes great. :wink:

                  I find the General Sterk white's to be the most comfortable I've tried... they're pretty much identical to the Onyx bags, except white.

                    I seem to salivate more than the rest of you, most of the regular portions produce a helluva lot of juice for me - not that I don't love snus juse but its a bit much at times (the los seems to actually produce LESS juice than portions for me)

                    Don't get me wrong, I'm a los man at heart, but

                    A) I get sick of flossing my teeth so damn much, and

                    B) I drink quite a bit of coffee/vodka, and this makes a los pris drip a bit much

                    The general sterk white is my favorite white so far, but its no where near as comfortable as a regular portion. I guess I'll just stick to N+J portion to go with my morning coffee, it doesn't seem to juice up as much as others.
                    I haven't tried skruf stark in portions, perhaps that'll fit the bill.

                    Thanks a lot for everyone's responses so far!

                      I would suggest getting a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush. My Swedish dentist (who uses snus) recommended it to me and I have to say its amazing. I floss twice a day but since using the Sonicare I've found that I never find bits of snus between my teeth. It also has the option to choose "Go Care" which is a one minute brushing cycle that I find handy after lunch/before client meetings etc.

                      Personally I try and refrain from drinking too much liquids when using lös precisely because of the dripping/mudslide that occurs at the ends of the pris.

                      Try the Skruf Original as well. It is currently vying with Gotlands Yellow for my all time favourite portion...

                        Haha, I've also got a Sonicare and it's bloody amazing. Ultrasonic cleaners are so damned good. Your teeth feel like they've had a pro cleaning after every brush. Highly recommended.

                          As itchystiches said, I think the General Sterk is the one that's most comfortable. It's not as dry as many of the other white's.
                          But anyways, I've switched into using the General Ekstra Sterk instead, 'cause I'm not really a fan of white portions.

                            Thank you Karl, I will look into that.

                            But today, I think I've found the answer. I had never tried Skruf Stark in portions, because I was so satisfied with the stark los. I didn't realize that a regular portion could provide so little juice with so much nicotine. General Sterk white gave me too LITTLE juice, while N+J gave me a bit too much, Skruf stark portions seem the perfect middleground.............or maybe I'm just not salivating as much as usual today.......?
