        I don’t know, I always like to at least rinse after some los…especially if I fall asleep with a pris in.

        Ettan los and coffee, facing the drudgery of another post-spring forward Monday.

          Have my first Kronan portion in for a long long time. Seems good so far. Forgot that I have been using slims for over a year so was a bit surprised with portion size - wondered why the can was fatter. Not much drip yet, not much flavour difference to the General XR - in fact not much flavour at all, but I think that’s the way I like it. I don’t like sweet snus…

            Prima Fint sliding all over my mouth right now.

            It is literally so finely ground I can’t deal with the slide. Roda is fine too but seems to hold better for me…

              Vårgårda Skog

              Pulled out a tin to try against GR XR as I have just one portion of XR left. Similar…I wanted gin and I got lavender. This one is more gin like, bit of bitterness, less sweet, but the portion material leaves a lot to be desired. I dislike rough portions and this is rough. Tasty…but rough.

                  Apparently it is new. Most of the descriptions weren’t appealing, but juniper made me want to try it. I might cut these portions open and mix them with what’s left of my tin of Prima Fint and fix two issues with one move. These portions are rough to me. At least compared to Swedish Match portions.

                    This is my second Kronan portion out the can. When I said I don’t like much flavour I meant other than straight tobacco. I fluffed up this white portion… it seemed very fluff-uppable. I like it.

                      Yeah the Vårgårda Ört sounds like what I might like: hint of nettles.

                      Juniper is in a lot of snus isn’t it? Or am I wrong? I think I saw it was in one of the coloured Knox portions

                        It is popular, my favorite juniper portion was Phantom Blue. Seems to be paired with Lavender a lot and the flavors skew heavily to the lavender in Skog and GR in my experience.

                        I love juniper though, so I’m super biased. I want it to taste like a warm shot of gin.

                        Ettan los right now.

                          Fine grind problem I had with los from the start, but prefer it more now than courser grind, after firguring all I had to do was dial down the "clicks" a tad. Anything more than 1/1/2 clicks on a 3m Icetool and fine grind becomes a waste for me.

                          General Mint.

                            Yeah, I like coarse grinds. I feel they release nicotine slower and sit forever.

                            That’s good advice for the finer grinds, I find I use way smaller pinches with the finer grinds and just have to swap them out sooner. Not bad, but sometimes I just don’t want to mess with it and have a pris for an hour or so.

                            Right now Skog with Lady Grey tea. Very nice. I’m still not sold on these portions, but the snus inside is quality.

                              I used to like the coarse grind more because of the slide issue, but constanty spitting out whatever those bits are in the General for example in not my cup of tea anymore, especially after figuring dialing it back a tad on the fine solved that issue for me.
