    I’ve only had this can open for like two days, and it’s still holding strong. I’ve also kind of abused it, been in and out of the fridge with it. Normally, I’ll just take out a tin of loose and just use it until it’s gone, but I’m going through a whole bunch of tins right now to find out what I want for my workhorse.

    I’m really enjoying it for the price, and surprisingly it’s supposed to be 10mg/g. I never got to taste Claq Qui, But I wouldn’t be surprised if this is similar based on the old reviews of that snus. It’s like a stronger and darker Roda Lackett, if that makes sense.

      Yeah, sure does, I think you hit it on the head. Stronger version of whatever secret flavor Roda uses. I never did get to Claq either, despite being around, but do remember folks stating it tasted like Roada but stronger. Great dot-to-dot connecting there. Mustang is Claq, we are time travlers really on Claq. Hahaa

        Reading back over the reviews and posts, everyone wanted a los Claq.

        I think I remember reading that mustang portions became Kaliber, not sure. Haven’t tried them, but I might throw a tin on my next order to see…I always thought Kaliber was a cheaper General clone.

          Not sure. I remember years back thinking Granit was a General clone, but dont think I have ever had Kaliber.

            Granit kinda is, less smoky as I remember. I have a tin in the freezer I’ll get to in a couple of weeks.

            Just checked some snus websites for the descriptions, the regular strength Kaliber are vague in their description, but state citrus and pomegranate as part of the flavor. The sterks are directly stated to be tweaked Mustang recipes on Snuscentral…and the strong white and strong original are different flavors. They look tasty and the strong original portion is 9mg/portion, strong white 11.7mg/portion. I might snag an original tho I prefer a white portion when I use portions…but that white portion is a little strong for me.

              Ahh, ok. So maybe the Kaliber, Mustang and Rodas "secret" ingredient is pomegranate. Thing is, I probably read about that "secret" ingredient many times. Haha

                I’m going to break into that can of Roda and see right now lol. Hard to put my finger on it…but definitely delicious, but I also think the licorice that is stated to be in the recipe makes it hard to determine the fruit, and affects the whole of the flavor more than I give it credit.

                  Some taste that licorice, some dont. Guess the makers of this stuff dont just tell us what flavoring they use, eh? Either way, agree, and Roda is around the top for me.

                  Btw, saw your post on Los but didnt chime in because Im kind of conservative and stick with the staples usually. Is that some Goteborgs los you got? What you think of that?

                    I got both Goteborgs: the Rapé and the Prima Fint. Haven’t had either in maybe 10 years, lmk which one you want to know about and I’ll put it on the “next out of the freezer spot”. It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted some of these, I actually don’t think I ever tried Prima Fint…and I hated GR last time I tried it according to a ten year old statement in the review thread. Not sure why, I was probably pissed that they discontinued Phantom Blue and GR didn’t taste like it. I really fell off snus when I couldn’t find a daily los replacement for Gotlands Gul los and both the Taboca and the Phantom los lines disappeared, so I just moved to using nasal snuff…but kept finding myself buying and smoking cigarettes when I wanted more nicotine than I could get out of HDT…so after my fifth round of going back to smoking for a couple months, I’m back to snus 100%. I plan to post a fresh review of each tin as I go through them and hot takes in this thread, so I have a project for the next couple of months.

                      Go get in that thread! I’d like to hear about what you use as staples, although I’m technically an old timer, I’m approaching this round as a newbie because I still don’t know what I like out of what’s around now a days. Send me back 14 years or so and I’d buy 100 tins each of Gotland Gul, Phantom Brown, Phantom Blue, Taboca los, and Thunder frosted minis every month until I had enough to last two lifetimes lol.

                        Cool. Will keep an eye out on your GR review. I really like the Prima Flint, but cannot remember if I have had the GR los or not. If I am remembering right, I had the GR portions and thought they tasted like pine.

                          Chewbacca recommended the XR range to me for portions and I’m planning a general, a GR, and a catch mint to try cause sometimes I need portions at work. I’d use los all the time if I could but I can’t risk a mudslide at certain times.

                            Besides the slide issue or just being able to hit the head to get it out when you want, I had some looks even using anything but a mint type when working alongside some folks. I got that "what in tarnation smell is that I just smelled" look when using say even a general white. I cant smell all that good, but apparently some people have dog type sniffers.

                              I usually have something to drink with me, coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and I carry my big water bottle everywhere…and often maintain a pretty good distance from others in the office and only use portions there when the boss is in or I’m sitting in an all staff meeting.

                              I really need portions when I’m working with clients, and nobody has mentioned smelling my snus yet…but I’ve been using those Lundgrens portions at work and they are pretty inoffensive…but I wish they made the Norrland Slim still. That might be my favorite flavor I’ve had from them, and their slim portions are pretty good. The perforated ones are weird and drip quicker and heavier than I like, and I got Norrland Stark in the regular size so I barely use it. Too strong, but the flavor is great. I am working up a portion order probably pulling it in the coming week to try to find a workhorse portion…but with Skruf not shipping to the US right now it’s a little harder. I really like Skruf los and portions.

                              Once I have one or two each of the “I like this all the time” los and portions picked out, I’ll be able to start building a snus-log cabin in my feeezer.

                                I just popped in a Helwitt Blueberry 10 minutes ago I as I’m getting ready for bed (well to lay down in bed and doom scroll). Tastes like blueberry cotton candy? I’m sure on the candy, not so much on the blueberry…or the cotton. Super sweet, didn’t know exactly what to expect…but Premium Parrots you were spot on, it sure doesn’t taste like blueberry in any traditional sense of the flavor…and I don’t know what it tastes like either.

                                Also, this one hit me kinda hard and I got a little sweaty and had to take it out. I’ve been using los all day, I’ll try again after a snus break when I feel a craving and see how it hits then and try and sus out the flavor a little better.
