    I did not like PBlue, but that was in portion. I would much rather have an LD Blue but it no longer is available. Might have to get me some PB los.......only 3 cans left of LD Blue.

      Methinks you'll like it Slydel, has hints of juniper berries like Retro, bergamot like General, and a slight hint of Windex. The Windex smell gets addictive after a while, very addictive stuff and now me changes it up with G-Gul for my los of choice.

        The lös is nothing like the portions. It isn't my favorite, but it's definitely usable, unlike the portion version :^(

          What's wrong with the portions? I just ordered a can.

            I have my first pris of phantom blue in right now. I'm liking it. I love the grind of the snus and the flavor is pretty badass.
            At $17 a roll, i might have a new goto los. I'll see how I like the classic next.

              They taste weird. They're like 2 completely different snus. Some people do like the portions, but they're wrong :^D

              It's like tuna ice cream. I'm sure there's people out there that would love it, but that doesn't mean tuna is a good ice cream flavor :^D

              It's cheap enough to try, and you might be one of those people that like tuna ice cream :^)

                True That! The new Thunder portions are a lot closer taste-wise to the los but Blue is a lost cause. Also, although the Thunder portion material is somewhat more comfortable the portions are long and have tons of excess material.

                  With all the Phantom Blue talk going on I just had to order some. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

                    I for one will not jump on the Blue bandwagon. I tried the Phantom Original and was very disappointed (as I explained elsewhere).

                    I had thought about trying the Blue but all this talk of Windex is actually just dissuading me.

                    Also the price difference is so slight between Phantom ($5,89) and any of my regular orders ($7.38 - $7.62) that it doesn't even really save me that much cash. If I was looking for a cheap snus I'd pick Knox.

                    I am far more interested in trying the Classic Brown lös and will pick up a can of the Nordstrommen Dark Vanilla as both seem to be quite highly regarded.

                      Well, it's kinda weird, I'd assumed it was commonplace, but from what I've noticed the Phantom portions seem to dry out quicker and expand a bit in the can when they do. I've carried one in my pants pocket for a full day and found the portions inside were a bit more difficult to pop right in. They made my upper lip puff out more. I have no way to chill a can at work, so I make do with what I got.

                      The solution for me, of course, is just to use 'em more quickly. Or just don't let 'em dry out in the first place.

                      Other moistened snus portions are slimmer and seem to stay slimmer longer, so they're easier to fit in my lip. I still really like Phantom Blue, don't get me wrong, but I haven't noticed it happening with other portion snus except maybe Offroad.

                        I was reading a bit about blue los, and it says it has a juniper and herb taste. This made me think of Gote Rape' #2. Does it taste similar at all? I know many love GR#2, but I cannot stand it. I took it out of my freezer, and tried another portion, hoping that if i came back to it, i'd like it but.....blah. Just an awful christmas pine taste. This tin is going in the garbage.

                        So thinking that GR#2 and phantom blue may taste similar, I went with phantom classic los, along with general los (my first los orders!). Good decision?? Or is phantom classic bad??

                          Classic isn't bad, and the Blue tastes nothing like Göteborgs. I don't think it really even tastes like juniper; It's more a piny flavor imo. Lemon drop with some pine is what the Blue tastes like to me.

                            idk to me goteborg 2 tastes like a pine tree. Isn't that what juniper is? And if its in phantom blue, then it is something i'll stay far far away from.

                              It's the same type of tree, but different. Goteborgs doesn't even really taste like juniper to me; It's more gin like, kind of an ambiguous juniper flavor. The Blue has a bright pine taste, sort like PinSol :^D

                                So it smells like windex and tastes like PineSol? are you sure its meant for use as snus and not to clean your counters?
                                :P
