    second order!

    Having finished my first order (my only disappointments being the vin and kock snus and mocca eucalyptus - yuck!), i just ordered some more on sunday and found that it was finally shipped today (2nd) so I'm hoping it'll be here by fri/sat. To be honest, i didn't think i'd be ordering again so soon! :-D

    My first order (after purchasing one can of General portion from a shop myself):
    Mocca + Eucalyptus (didn't finish - tossed)
    General White Portion (Same as general portion - finally tasting the citrus after several months of trying!)
    Northerner energy snus (even as a newbie, i recognize this as not a "real" snus. but great for studying and work)
    Wise 6mg citrus/menthol (fake snus, but good fast buzz)
    Vin&kocksnus (fake, weak buzz, but the only ones left until the new order comes!)
    Goteberg rape #2 white portion (Interesting taste, took a little getting used to, but good buzz and would try again)

    My second order:
    Nordströmmen Julesnus, Portion (I figured try out something seasonal while it's available. Plus i like cinnamon)
    Northerner Energy Snus, mini portion (for work and studying)
    Claq Qui, Strong Portion (New, but I was going to try the Roda Lacket, and figured might as well get something new from the same company. Plus i'm leveling off in my nicotine tolerance so i need to get a few strong brands here and there.)
    Roda Lacket White, Portion (due to good word of mouth)
    Goteborgs Rape White, Portion (tried the sequel, now trying the original)
    General Onyx, Portion (for the times i really want a good buzz. Plus i wanted to get it ever since i saw the black pouches neatly arranged in their cans on the northerner website!)
    Skruf Cranberry, Portion (good word of mouth. I've already tried tobacco tasting snus, so i figured get something flavored)

    I'm anxiously, anxiously waiting for the new order to come in! I'm already planning out my 3rd order. I'm thinking i've tried just about all the "original" snus brands i've wanted to try, and have Ettan and 1846 (or 1864, w/e) left to try from Swedish Match. So i'm thinking about branching out into some other brands. I was thinking about lucky strike with all the nice reviews of it's "toasty flavor" (I still don't know what the lucky strike "twist" is). I don't want to try the nick and johnny.... not necessarily because of what i hear of it, i just don't want the wonky shaped can (though i suppose i can just transfer them to the empty snus cans sitting on the table). What do you guys think about my recent order and what do you recommend for my third order?

    No los please. one of the things i like about snus is that it's quick and easy, plus i don't like getting my hands messy. it's also why i always try to order white portions.

      I would recommend Gotlands Yellow and Green. Also the Jakobsson's Original. Maybe the Grey if you like anis. You can't go wrong with their products.

      The Gotlands portion bags are also super comfy and feel like an Original portion but tend not to run so in that respect they are much closer to a White portion. Actually I would compare the quality of their portions with Skruf (my other favourite).

        I'll second Gotlands Yellow, and add Gustavus. Maybe Pall Mall.

          I love the wonky-shaped can for N&J West and East but hate that it has less snus. Also don't like man-head on the lid.

            I gave in and drove out to pick up a can of snus from the tobacco shop.

            Don't tell me i have problems, lol.

            they only carried generals and catch dry, so i gave catch dry peppermint a try.

            Lord, that is sweet. it's almost a novelty how sweet the thing is. Might as well be chewing nicorette gum and eat a candy cane. Still, a nice find, and i may buy some more in the future. kinda a weak buzz though.

              I personally like the round tins- they look "sharp"

              N&J get alot of praise for trying something different, and I suppose rightly so. I think we could all get along with a personal special tin(like a cigarette case) and brands could offer their product in "bulk" for us to fill it.

              Then again, that wouldn't leave can-artists to build and make things out of old tins, so what the hell.

                I use the N&J West tins for keeping my Icetools in. I just cut a bit off the black foam they come with to fit the tin and, voila!! Moulded, hard sided Icetool case!!

                  That's a nice 2nd order. Third order throw in some Grov Black.

                    cool; got mine in today. good thing too since i was gonna go nuts if it wasn't there. I just ran out of the peppermint ones.

                    Some reviews:
                    Nordströmmen Julesnus, Portion - interesting flavor. lack of cinnamon was disappointing, but the other taste (which must be the glogg, or w/e) was interesting. low to mild buzz.
                    Claq Qui, Strong Portion - fruity, colorful taste similar to roda lacket. good buzz, but milder than expected.
                    Roda Lacket White, Portion - fruity colorful taste. low-mild buzz
                    Goteborgs Rape White, Portion - unsampled
                    General Onyx, Portion - strong taste; good to see snus all nicely arranged instead of piled in. buzz was ok.
                    Skruf Cranberry, Portion - prob my fave taste. good balance between flavor and tobacco. buzz was ok.

                    overall... i conclude i'm leveling off in my nic tolerance just barely 4 months into snus. :-(
