You guys really have me curious about the Discreet now.
Then DO something about it. That's the reason we keep posting. :wink:
Oh, I have. I just took my time. I don't mind waiting; the anticipation in itself is fun, and I have more snus to enjoy than I can handle as it is. I also have some snuff on the way. Just can't get enough of that nicotine stuff.
I want to try the Phantom loose now just to see. I want to try Level, too. Isn't it strange that someone will say "this snus is kind of blah" and someone else will say, "can't wait to try it". Maybe being weird is a prerequisite to liking snus. :wink:
Oh, I understand. I had some Phantom portions, which I didn't think I'd like, and really, I still don't think I'd like, but I was more in the mindset of doing a clear-out of my stash, and threw them in the Hellbox, but now I wish I hadn't. Well, I can always get more. Have you tried Offroad original? I haven't had the loose of that, but I do like the portions of that. One thing for me, and others(sage) have said it too, is I think I do get more out of a portion, as I move it around, gnaw on it, etc. Last night when I removed the pris of Phantom Classic loose, I brushed my teeth and went to bed, and as I was laying there watching TV, I had a mouth taste like I had soap in my mouth, like when one is taking a shower and gets soap in your mouth. It wasn't terrible, but it did slightly remind me of that.
OK, just did a pris of Phantom Classic Loose now. Seems better than yesterday. I do think what one eats and various snus through the day may affect the taste some. It does have a lemony essence in it. It's not bad, or it doesn't seem to be at this moment. I still don't find loose to be comfortable. Flavor-wise, I can't compare this... a small part of me wants to say Onyx, but that's just the lemon, but it's not as strong, or as good as Onyx, not being a loose fan, Onyx loose might be good.
General Ekstra Sterk lös. I can't wait to try this in the portions.

I haven't tried any off the Offroad. I'm not hot to try it, but I probably will eventually, assuming I'm on this earth and can still get snus long enough. And assuming it's available then.
I think you nailed that background flavor I get with pretty much all the V2-made stuff I've tried. lx pointed out that elixyr is manufactured by them, and I believe it, because the 16 or so portions of that I've had give me the same tell as the phantom portions. Same with the Thunder frosted and all but the last Thunder original I've had.

I'd surely try Onyx loose. One thing I've noticed about the Phantom is that the flavor seems to hit sooner for me than with other portions. Maybe it's the portion material, or maybe it's just my imagination.
Yeah, I guess everything I put in my mouth throughout the day is affected by everything else I put in my mouth.
Speaking of eating, have you ever actually eaten a portion? I don't mean on purpose. One day, a couple of weeks ago, I stopped by a sports bar to get a buffalo chicken wrap and a beer. Instead I wound up loading up on wings and several beers (it was happy hour). I had a portion in my mouth at one point, don't remember which kind. I was drinking my beer with it, and when the wings arrived, I must confess I kept it in. Then I realized it was gone. Ulp. No ill effects as far as I can tell, but I'll take the snus out next time. Probably.
I find the Gotlandssnus yellow so good, I was actually eating tiny bits of it that were breaking off the pris I had in last night. I made myself stop, though. (I don't mean just swallowing them, I mean num num num.)
When this makes it to the back of my mouth, it has a bitterness to it that is reminiscent of grapefruit. And yet it is still delicous. Magical.
Grov loose in right now, finishing up some coffee.
