Sage's Retro Replacement Quest

[Veganpunk]

I ordered a can of LD last night. Hopefully I'll like it as much as i did/do Camel.

Should have a review up tonight right here. Finished the can, just being lazy. :wink:

[Veganpunk]

Nah, I wouldn't call waking up at what was it, 10:30 lazy! :wink:

[sagedil]

No, more like 12:30, was after 4:30 before I fell asleep. Desperately don't like falling into that trap/ About 17 months ago, I wa shaving trouble balling asleep before 7:00 AM. Took me months to fix that

Updates?

[sagedil]

I don't know why I haven't, just been lazy.

OK, so here goes...

LD White

I liked it, OMG, I loved LD White!!!! I absolutely know I have found my best candidate yet. Still need to test it out, Go every other can for a couple of weeks, see if it starts to turn.

But you know how I knew I liked it so much?????

Opened a can of Retro at the same time. Even took a break from the LD after the first two, just to finish up the General White I still had left.

But at the end of the test?? I had NO LD White and 5 Retro left. So over the course of those few days,a s I was just using both, I managed to reach for LD MORE than I even reached for Retro. That never has happened before. A huge sign.

So what is LD like??. It starts out with a muted, but still strong tobacco taste. Just like Retro. The flavors are slightly different, but the same intensity. And this is the part I have been searching for. I just like a certain amount of taste. Too much or too little equally bug me. I always thought Retro was perfect, and I *think* I have finally found another.

BTW, if you are trying to understand what I think is perfect....I think Camel white is just a shade too little, and Lucky Strike White is just a shade too much.

LD white, at least at first try, fit perfectly, loved it very much. Now need to try extended usage for stage two as soon as I can buy more snus in a few months.

Happy Chad?? :wink:

You hit it on the head. LD White is great because the tobacco taste isn't too strong, but it's just about average. The taste is different from alot of other snus I've tried, it's not too intense, but not "average" or "mediocre". It has a unique but familiar flavor. I've enjoyed it, already went through 1 can. And I'll be ordering more

What about the bergamot in it compared to say Camel and General? I never got to try Retro or Lucky Strike so I wouldn't know.

[sagedil]

???????

I have never even ever paid attention to such. I couldn't tell you which of my snus even has it.

Chad probably better for this task.

[chadizzy1]

LD White isn't as pronounced as General, the Bergamot is very, very mild in LD White. The tobacco is more predominant in my opinion. And I say it's more mild than Camel White as well (Haven't had Camel Original, so I can't say on that).

[Veganpunk]

I was thinking in all whites anyway. 9 out of 10 times, I lean towards whites.

[chadizzy1]

Same here. Except for ones that don't come in white, then I suck it up

[Veganpunk]

Yea, flavored snus is better in non whites. Thunder Frosted White just doesn't sound as good as Thunder Frosted! :wink:

[sagedil]

Flavored are usually not whites.
