Next Up??

[PseudoSwede]

I've gone through two tins of Ettan (purchased outside of the try-out pack) and one tin of Goteborg's Prima Fint from my try-out pack from Northerner. So far, I've loved both. I liked the texture and moistness of the Prima Fint. I liked the Ettan too but I found it to be much less moist than the Prima Fint. I'm finding I really like the finer ground snus. I used to be strictly a Cope man and have been taken in by snus. What should I crack open next???

Here are the remaining choices from my stash (all loose):

Ettan
General
Grov Snus
Roda Lacket
Kronan
Probe Whiskey
Goteborg's Rape'

Any suggestions?? :?:

If you like fine-ground and moist, try the Roda Lacket.

[PseudoSwede]

How does Ettan and Gotebors Prima Fint compare to General, Grov Snus, et al?

[Coffey]

I would give the Grov a try, very natural flavor ala the Ettan, and fairly course. I don't really care for General, it's kind of the Marlboro Lights of the snus world. All I mean is that it is super popular, and I can't really figure out why.

Coffey, before the Skruf Starks and N&Js of this world started appearing there wasn't much that was stronger than General. I think General was just "IT". The taste people always seem to go back to every time.
So do I, I mean, I love many snuses but General will always be home base no matter how many innings I go.

As far as PseudoSwede's question: GPF is -along with Röda Lacket- the most finely ground and moist snuses around. General is same coarseness but more moist than Ettan. Grov I haven't tried yet but "grov" means coarse in Swedish :wink:

Thanks for the info Craig. Don't get me wrong, I don't think General is bad, it just doesn't do it for me. Kind of like how a lot of people on the forum don't understand how we can enjoy Offroad loose. Maybe it's because I never even tried General till I had found several other favorites. And yes, I should have said that the texture of Prima Fint is much different than that of Grov. Prima Fint is way too muddy for my taste.

[Craig de Tering]

'Zactly! I've likened GPF and RL to Play-Doh before. RL especially is big on taste but mild on nic. GPF tilts both a bit more to the opposite side.

Maybe it's because I never even tried General till I had found several other favorites.

If this is true, I strongly suggest trying the General as soon as possible. The first can I opened was N&J, followed by the General. I didn't think I liked the General much at all until I got about a quarter of a way into the can. It's actually a very nice snus. If you like Earl Grey tea, you will like General. And they go great together. (thanks for the connection Zero.)

Maybe I misspoke, I have tried General, But it was not till months after I had started using snus, and had already found several I liked better.

No no, I was talking directly to PseudoSwede. Sorry for the confusion.

[Coffey]

Ahh, understood. The ol' gray matter isn't quite up to par tonight :lol: I agree with Think PseudoSwede , don't ruin yourself to what may be a favorite snus for you.

[PseudoSwede]

Thanks, Guys!

I'm probably going to go with either General or RL...for the next tin.

However, I will crack them all at some point. I'm going to pick two or three of my favorites and by a log (ooops, sorry, that's Cope-speak), a roll so I never have to worry about running out.

Thanks for all the advice. Keep feeding us SNUBies all the information you can!! It's very much appreciated...

[Craig de Tering]

Call it log or roll...it's all good.

[PseudoSwede]

Yes, Craig...

It is all good. I wish I would have bumped into snus 20 years ago. But, on the bright side, I'll have it now for the rest of my days!

[Soft Morning, City!]

^I got lucky. I'm only 19 and I've dropped the cigarettes and found the snus. And with any luck, I'll have it for the rest of my many days.
