Knox versus Retro portion

[Slydel]

Who and the hell would by Knox over Retro Portion when Knox costs more than Retro? I am looking at prices at buysnus and Retro is $3.11 vs. $3.17 a can for Knox!!! Knox will not be purchased by me an time soon. Knox slogan should be "Less flavor, nicotine, and enjoyment along with a higher price than Retro." Retro is a premium tobacco, while Knox is a discount Skruf product. Sorry Knox, I will pass on this one. Was it not just $2 a can when you were able to produce it?

I used to love knox before Canadian customs started charging 20$ a can on me


You've just got to take it for what it is, im not always in the mood for a flavour blasted nicotine rush.

I don't know how Retro tastes, but Knox rox! It tastes really good, and is better to me than Skruf Original. It carries the same quality as a premium snus, and is still cheaper. So why not?

[sagedil]

Smple.

Becasue Retro is even better. :wink:

[Jason]

Haters! :P

I love Knox; I didn't even notice the price increase, though....although I figured that would happen sooner or later. At just over two bones, it was easily the best snus for the price.

I don't like Retro due to the fact that it doesn't have any real taste that stands out to me, other than the ton of salt in it.

I think this is what gives the white portions that underlying soapy taste that I dislike so much.

Retro original is better than the white IMO, but even that is still just trying to be Grov.

Oh, and no way is it better than Knox

:twisted:

[MrSnusNSnuff]

Not even reasonable to compare Retro to Knox. Retro has a flavor of it's own.

Knox is disgusting. It's the first snus I've tossed in the trash. I am now looking at scattered portions in the trash, satisfied with the vengeance I've taken upon the tin. It has an effervescence about it that's just gross and the herbal flavor is way too strong. Even the design of the can is disturbing.

A comparison using hot dogs as symbolic representation:

This is the Skruf equivalent of a hot dog:



This is the Knox equivalent of a hot dog:

Knox has something Retro doesn't have, it is available in lös.
I like them both, they have different tastes.

Yum, Hebrew National :^)

Well Mr. Portion King.

45 grams of lös
24 grams portions

A can of Retro portions lasts me 3-4 days, a can of Knox lös lasts me 6-7.
So which one is really more expensive?

[sagedil]

Hmm, dog sh** - free
A good steak - $20

So you are saying you would eat the dog sh** cause it is cheaper?? To each his own I suppose, but I don't live a life where a few dollars impacts what I choose to consume.

[snusjus]

Retro is amazing. I don't even consider it a "budget" snus. Knox is something I've yet to try though.

[sagedil]

Don't let my rush to defend Retro or my joy at poking some fun at Knox dissuade you. Knox is a fine snus. When it was cheaper, I think it was even better though. The flavor is a bit strong and just too "blunt" for my tastes though. Still get it every other month, but it isn't a regular like Retro White is for me

Even dog shit costs money. You have to feed the dog in order to make it shit. Which is how I suspect they make Knox. The smell of it keeps wafting out of my trashcan, haunting me like an evil ghost.
