Easiest lössnus for finger rolling/"baking" ?

[Craig de Tering]

I was wondering what we all think is/are the best snus(es) for D.I.Y.
Lately I've found time and time again that Knox (made by Skruf) allows me to bake me a pris in a flash. I go from putting my fingers in the can to finished pris in about 5 seconds. Insane! And it seems to become even easier to form when the can is ¾ empty and a bit drier. Weird.

I've found Roda to be super easy, the easiest I've tried so far. Gustavus is also a pretty easy rolling one for me.

I find the best ones are not too fine but not too coarse. For example ettan can be a little too fine whilst granit can be too coarse. The fine cut snuses are great for icetool though!

It is definitely better if the snus has dried a bit. I don't really like the start of a can because it can be too moist, it's much easier to handle once it has had time to 'breath'

just my two...erm...pence

i have an icetool and before that i used a prismaster. i've tried rolling by hand but i just end up with snus all over my hands, on the floor and none in my mouth. i must just have the wrong idea of how to do it. Ive never seen it done before and i use that as my excuse and that i am not stupid ;-) Anyone know of a video online or pics of someone making one by hand? i would at least like to know i could do it if i had to ha.

these kids, despite being silly kids, do a good job of showing a nice rolled pris

YES! I completely forgot to state this.
I mean; anyone can tell you the tried-and-tested DIY snus classics like Röda, Rallar, Probe etc. But the thing is: once you're proficient in rolling, those snuses are too soft to roll quickly because whenever you put force they deform like soft putty and you end up taking LONGER because of your haste.

Knox OTOH is very firm to resist pressure from the fingers, yet it clumps exceedingly well so as not to crumble.

Maybe it's a Skruf thang but I've never tried other Skruf lössnuses so I wouldn't know.

Yes, Röda Lacket and Probe certainly belong to the best snuses for handrolling a pris. I haven't found better ones until now. More precisely, I haven't tried too many different loose snuses anyway, because I'm quite happy with my favorites. But I have a can of Knox Portions waiting to be opened. If it's good, then I certainly will try Knox loose, sooner or later.

Craig's description really makes me curious - and Knox is pretty cheap, too.

Cheers!

Thanks to both of you for the videos, they all helped me.

That one is close up enough to tell sort of how they do it.

Man those kinds look young to me. I wonder if kids using snus is accepted in sweden or if like here they just slip around to use tobacco?

Oh yea, I love this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utvs2Q7gHv0 haha. It should go in the snus video hall of fame or something.

Yeah, teens snusing in scandinavia isn't like teens smoking. I guess it isn't any more different than if they were drinking Pepsi.

I had a big laugh with this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc7oR-KKRN0&NR=1 [snus dominoes]

i think those boys need to cut down on the snus a little haha
