General Onyx gives me some love

[MrSnusNSnuff]

General Onyx is the shit.

After having several snuses betray me and turn sour or bland (even Goat Rape #2), I was fed up and ready to quit snus altogether. I even resorted to dipping some Copenhagen, just because I needed some flavor! The only other snus doing it for my was Skruf Sterk Los, and ven then, it was starting to taste flat to me. Then I popped in an Onyx portion.

All I can say is WOW! Great citrus/spicy taste, good nic hit, and comfortable portion material.

Is there something I can change in my snusing habits to bring out the flavors more? Maybe stick to one brand for longer and not rotate so much? Wet the portions before I lip them? Suggestions

I just spat out an onyx portion after enjoying it for 1.5 hrs. It is indeed the shit. If you like this one so much I would recommend Grov svart - it is somewhat similar and the nic hit is a tad stronger.
As far as other suggestions - well, based on my personal tastes at this point:
ettan original, general ES, any kind of thunder, N&J...well the usual suspects I guess

I would have to disagree about the Grov Black and Onyx being similar.Grov Black just tastes like sweet licorice (yuck) to me.

Skruf stark portion has a strong taste imo, i taste it more than any other snus and when you get used to it..youll love it, i actually used to gag from it when i was new to snus ops:

My only suggestion is to keep some of the bland snus in your rotation. General sterk is similar to the Onyx, just a little more subdued.

Onyx is one that can turn on you with a quickness! After a week of chainsnusing Onyx, I can't even bring myself to buy a can anymore!

I'm finding myself starting to gravitate toward General or General-like products - I find myself preferring salty/lemony snus to sweet/fruity snus. Mint snuses are way too strong for me, IMHO, some of them have a sickening artificial sweetness.

That being said, I'm putting together my next order when I get paid tomorrow. I'll definitely be getting some more Onyx. I'm thinking about trying Lucky Strike, N&J, Knox, and Montecristo - any more suggestions?

I love Onyx. No bad experiences.

I bought copenhagen for the first time this last week since we were out fishing and started doing dip (we forgot to bring snus). Copenhagen tastes like a dirty boot. Now I have basically a full can that I'll probably never use.

Dip is shit compared to snus, makes me question why anyone would use it when snus is available. Skaol Citrus is good though, maybe because I started using snus with fake American Skoal Citrus snus.

I'd throw a can of nick & johnny in there! I love that stuff. Any of the Generals will compliment your tastes.

And as a pure tobacco flavor Retro is awesome! Depending on the site you're using, you won't be able to get the Montecristo shipped to the US. I think there's still some sites out there that will, but I don't know wgat they are.

そうですね

I hear you, brother!

I just got my first can of Onyx an hour ago. So excellent! Great look, great taste, soft portion material, tightly packed. It even smells great - first snus my wife actually took two sniffs of! All that plus a real nice kick that kinda sneaks up gentle on ya. Did I mention that the taste was great?

I'm sure it doesnt hurt that my standard snus is General White, but this is even better, in all the important ways. :-)

(I'm storing up Ettan in the freezer that GetSnus keeps sending as my mystery can. When I get enough, I plan to see if I can do a 3-1 swap, or maybe a 5-1 swap. Hell, name your price ;-)

I note that, although I got this from GetSnus, it's packaged in the spiral, Swedish fashion, and the can is in Swedish. Odd, that.

Anyway, I just wanted to calloo a little. Does it sound like I'm spiking a bit?
