    Had to be Grov!

    Well after about 5 Months I have tried a lot of different snus types and flavors. I ran with all los and lately all portions. While I am aware of the tendency to have changes in taste, I have found myself using one favorite for the last month, and it was not one of my originals at all. I had been using ten cans of grov los to all others for months, but had experimented with Ettan portions, both regular and whites, and the experience with them had really turned me off! They pretty much suck big time. Ettan Los is sublime though.

    Over a month ago, I was chaining Lucky's, great snus! But the salt was just too much for all day. I always start my day with an Odens Regular Kanal, and hopefully always will, but I only like them with coffee. I had ordered 4 rolls to keep in the Armageddon locker, and with the order I got a mystery roll of Grov whites. I thought oh crap, oh well, gotta be better than wintergreen!

    Long story short I have been using them for over a month, all day, with an occasional Goat rape, Flader green, Montecristo, Ect, to keep it real. The Grov just satisfies, and the weird thing is that the whites are just as good as the originals, I do not care which one it is, this is the only snus that I can say that about, the whites are always so different than the originals for me.

    With all the talk about finding a new all day go to favorite snus, I just wanted to share mine, this may change I know, but if you cannot get Grov snus then it is all over!! I feel better about liking a solid old school snus that should always be around. Flavor lasts and lasts and never gets bitter to me. Thanks for letting me share. Everybody has different tastes, that is the hardest part of choosing snus.

      No problem, you and I have very different tastes, but you never really can be sure of anything when it comes to what snus people like! Ask CJ.

        :lol: :lol:

        Yeah, but regardless, there are some parts that you wrote that I think are relevant regardless, especially about the part about being able to use it all the time.

        Another thing you wrote about it being ancient, will always be there. Another really good point.

              I have a can, and it's okay. For me, Skruf Stark is what Grov is to you. I probably have Skruf Stark every third or fourth snus. If I just chained them, I think I would get bored, but it seems to come into the rotation all the time.

                  I have tried Grov Original Portions and loved them. The natural tobacco flavor with a nice hint of salt is amazing. When I'm bored with General Portions, I throw in a half-roll of Grovs.

                  However, I haven't tried the los variety of Grov yet. I have been meaning to order a can but always forget. Does it have a salty taste? I don't like Ettan because I can't taste ANY salt.

                              Enough said. I'll give grov a second go. Only time I had it was my first loose snus (not the best was to start los'ing prob) and portion in a sample box a while ago. I remember both not being too bad, just was new to snus and others stood out more.
