    Views on Skruf

    Skruf is fantastic stuff. I have been using the stark for a few days now. My problem with it is it's just too strong! I mean, it hits me way too fast and can't keep the portion it for over 30mins. I need to try skruf regular.

    My whole problem though, and I'm sure many may agree is that I want some skruf los that is tamed down a bit. It would be amazing, but the stark is just too much for me. I know I can make a smaller pris, but any smaller than what I use now would be too small to feel right. I think the brand really mastered the cigar flavor with their snus, with that tiny hint of rose. Los would go wonderfully with a beer, but sadly they only make stark.

    I've tried the Cranberry, Stark Portion, and Stark Los.

    The los is by far the best IMO. I don't normally use high nic snus but the Stark Los is perfect for me.

    The Stark portion on the other hand tastes great but it gives me heartburn every single time I use it.

    The Cranberry is great but in moderation. Too many back to back turns me well "Cranberry"!

      That was my problem with the portions, I just found them too strong. I was REALLY happy with the Whites when they came out, tones it down a bit. But am even more excited now that I just finally got some regular Skruff White.

      But that was the reason I didn't get any Skruff lös. Tells you something when I adore Thunder and yet can't handle Skruff, even though it technically has less nicotine.

        I'm a skruf fanatic. I love the los, and the stark whites for portions. I am a sterk/stark user anyway though, so I don't have a problem with the too strong thing. In fact, non- sterk/stark snus doesn't have enough punch for me. Do you get headaches or something? Because Oden's did that to me with every pris. I found my limit with that one.

        Flavor wise though Skruf los is top notch. I just wish I got the burn still. God I miss that.

          The skruf original is one of my favorites. Well balanced, a good tobacco flavor and im a huge fan of bergamot.

          I feel the same way about the sterk, another great snus, but im mostly a regular portion type of guy.

          Never tried the whites, maybe one day but skruf is already pretty mild so idk if it needs to get any milder.

          I also have never tried the los so i cannot comment there, although i think id like it.

          The Skruf cranberry was wretched though, skruf has always been one of my favorites so i figured the cranberry was sure to be a winner, man was i dissapointed. It tasted so artificial and gross, it was like toned down mocca pomegranate (one of the only if not the only can iv thrown away)
          I ended up giving the can to a friend

            I love Skruf Stark Los. I'm not a fan of their portioned varieties though.

              I enjoy the Stark loose on occasion. I love the taste, but strong snus isn't something I can use with much frequency.

              I love Knox. Portion or loose, it's one of my absolute favorites.

                I'm a huge Knox portion fan (wish it would come back)

                I also like cranberry

                  It's not that the stark really gives me a headache, it just hits really hard and makes me a bit light headed. I used a stark portion outside today, working on the garden and REALLY felt the nicotine. It was a good feeling, but I'm not crazy about a big nic buzz anymore. I like the feeling of a regular portion, that slightly relaxes me, and gives a nice flavor.

                  Its so damn odd, how I'm actually starting to love the slow onset of nicotine with snus. I used to love a hard hit of nicotine from a strong cigarette, but now I don't. I bet I can quit tobacco products for good and have no problem. But have no reason too, because I really enjoy my snus. Snus breaks are some of the best parts of my day.

                    I'd try Knox and see how you like it. Skruf Stark loose made me queasy in the beginning, but I liked it so much and kept on using it, and after a while it didn't affect me. But the cost, of course, is increased nicotine tolerance. Easier to go up than down.

                      I tried Skruf Original today and I was disappointed. I had been using Skruf Stark and loved the taste. But original tasted nothing like the stark to me. I expected the same flavor just less of a nic hit. It was missing the flowery taste I find in the stark. Is it me...maybe a bad can...or do they just taste differently?

                        I find it strange why so many people like it.
                        I find it weak and I find that other tobaccos like Odens for instance taste better.
                        I'm trying to work my way through some Skruf Stark and I can't wait until it's finished.

                          Evereybody's tastes are different.

                          I like Skruf original,
                          Skruf Stark is so so,
                          and I'm going to have a hard time finishing the tranbär.

                            All I've tried is the Skruf white portions, but I love them. They're not very salty (comparatively) and just the right amount of bitterness.

                              I've tried 1 can of skruf stark portion.

                              I loved it, and as a friend of lös, that got to be even better.
                              Hopefully soon a boat-trip to sweden and 5x skruf stark lös towers, 4x röda lacket lös towers and 1x general ES portion or lös.
