I must be Crazy

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

But I hate Los. I have tried and tried I just cant stand that stuff in my Mouth. I have never dipped or Chewed tobacco. Just WAS a heavy smoker Now I smoke maybe 2 to 3 a week. I have tried to hand bake and use a prismaster.

Maybe I am just a portion guy, Not really feeling white portions these day to much either. :roll:

Maybe you should try a few different types of lös if you can't stand it? (if you haven't already)

Tried general, skruf, ettan, onyx and other types? Maybe the one(s) you've tried just don't fit you? I fell in love with lös after the first time I tried it. Had only used portions to that time and didn't smoke. I'll recomend general lös and skruf stark lös. Those are the ones I like the best.

Hope we can help you out.

Los takes some getting used to. If you're motivated enough, buy an Icetool. However, the hefty price (~$40 USD) may turn you off, which is understandable.

Some people just prefer the convenience of portions. There's nothing wrong with that. Hell, I used portions all day at work! However, all other times of the day are occupied with loose snus.

I like the taste of los, can almost eat it. But it can be messy when taking it out, and can fall apart at times. I only do los at home with easy access to the restroom for the above reasons. I can see why people would only use portion. I do think los is alot neater that dip though, which I don't like.

Nah, you're not crazy. You like what you like.

For me, I started with white portions and then swore them off for original portions. Then I used lös almost all the time for over a year. Now I've tapered off of lös to about 10 % of the time, and am using white portions the other 90% of the time.

Oh, and now I do nasal snuff too.

So yeah. Snus is weird like that.

I am not yet proficient enough at Los to use it anywhere but at home, but hopefully I'll soon be good enough at handbaking/hillbilly pinching/icetool & prismaster stuffing to use it elsewhere as well. It's just not an option for me at work but whenever I go out with people I'm comfortable enough with, I'd like to be able to shove a wad of los in my lip.
I enjoy the flavor, which I find to be much cleaner and stronger than in portions. However, when I first used los, I hated it. I had to force myself through handbaking my first tin of General before I grew fond of it. My prismaster has helped, and I will soon be ordering an icetool. That's the good thing about the large amount of tobacco in a can of los. If by the end of that can you aren't enjoying it, you know for sure los isn't for you, at least for the time being. I recommend using a whole can, though, and not giving up on it on the first few tries.
I now order close to 75/25 portions to los, but once I'm better at using it, I plan on bumping that up to 50/50.

NO BLACK SQUIRREL, not crazy. At all!!!!!

I don't like los either. Hell, I am famous here for being one of the more crankier portion users. I have posted often that portions are all my little best friends. I have a relationship with each and every single last one!!!! But I feel nothing for los.


But I have really tried to learn to like los. I came back to it again after a year a few months ago. I even bought an Icetool so i could really maximize my chances of liking it. But I didn't. I tried, but I just couldn't like it.


So ignore all these *&^* who keep posting that you just didn't give it enough time. Maybe you did!! And just maybe, like me, you just don't like los.


It really is OK. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Roo]

Just give it some more time lol

[justintempler]

I was not a fan of lös the first time I tried it. The second attempt eight months later is a different story. Maybe you will never like lös, or maybe you just are not ready yet.

It's not easy to handbake if your snus is dry. With a fresh and moist can, it'll be a lot easier. Don't know if that's your issue. I was thought how to bake by a friend of mine. This is a very easy beginners method on how to bake.. I made nicely formed and hard prises when handbaking at the end of my first box. Maybe it'll help you too? I'm by no means a handbaking god yet though...

Agree with you about the taste on portions versus lös. That's the reason why I prefer lös. The portions just taste a little harsh compared to lös.

Not very good at writing english. Sorry about that.

[MasterGuns]

Nah, the can was fresh and moist (hehe,:lol: giggity) I just goofed up and pretty much did a hillbilly pinch on my first try, didn't bake very well even by hillbilly standards. After watching Zeros video and trying it that way, though, it was like a light bulb went off. Never had a problem since. I do want to try the way that guy did it in that thread though, as I understand it makes for a great snusing experience!

[Scuba Steve]

I just started using los and love it. I think being from the south helps, because I was already used to dip and chew. I just notice more flavors from the los.

Portions are much more convenient and I use them when I'm at work or on the go.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Use what you like. Nothing wrong with portions. Some day down the road you might get an itch to try loose again. If so, try it.

Black Squirrel

Look a way from the screen!! Just turn away and blink!!! Blink boy, Blink!!!

Damn it Sage!!! You and your portion mind control ray. Just look what you’ve done to poor ol black squirrel. He doesn’t like loose and now he thinks he’s a white bunny.

Resist the voices in your head B Squirrel. Never give in. They may take you down but……..

Oh what the hell enjoy a Retro regular on me

RIP
