    Level Review.......what the Reaper has sown

    OK, so we have a can of Level going around, I am the first lucky participant. Figured a thread for everyone to write about what they think of the Level.

    So I did it, I have a Level in my mouth.

    First reaction, wow, this isn't as bad as I remember. Suddenly, I am thinking of all the ways I need to apologize to cj. :wink:

    Yes, VERY earthy undertones, very specific flavor. This isn't a snus that will easily slip below the radar. But not BAD, a bit different perhaps, but kinda interesting flavor.

    Within a few minutes, you start getting a kind of strange after taste with it. I'm trying to find words to describe it, can't really pin the tastes, but a bit bitter and sour.

    Overall, probably not a snus I would buy again. But as my tastes have matured over 2+ years of snus usage, I can say it is not quite as horrid as I remembered. I can understand why someone *might* even like it. (yes cj, talking about you) At the same time, the taste is so unique, so forthright if you will, any reviewer who likes it must state that they know very many folks might not. This is definitely a take or leave snus, and anyone who likes it should obviously know that, and say it. A review that just says how wonderful it is is not honest IMHO

    But, Level will have to come off my hate list. There are other snuses out there that I find far worse, at least for me.

        Can't wait!!!

        (Do I seem too over eager? Maybe I should tone down my enthusiasm? Will the snus gods punish me if I like Level?)

          You've done it now. Now I'm thinking there will come a time where I kiss and make up with Knox. It'd be like getting back together with a psycho ex-girlfriend.

            No, and maybe, just maybe, you might.

            I managed to keep it in for about 40 minutes. I will say I was pleased when I finally dumped it. And NEEDED the Discreet strawberry I have in now to clear out the taste of Level

              When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

                  Nice Sage

                  I know you hated Level badly and it´s beautiful to see such a reconciliation.
                  some beautiful tunes are in order for such an occasion.

                  I will celebrate this with a Lucky Strike original, it´s as fancy as it gets around my neighbourhood, a scruffy blue-collar area with concrete howels for us to reside in

                    chossy, I always keep an open mind. And do feel a bit of obligation to make sure I live up to certain standards here.

                    BTW, Concrete is cool!!! The company I work for... www.concretecountertopinstitute.com

                      I finally got around to my can of Level Los in my freezer, after it was sitting there for about 2 years. It is not terrible by any means. I enjoyed it, I think I may still have some left in fact so I can reflect upon its flavors. Am I correct in saying that it is no longer being produced?

                        It's not for sale anywhere, so I assume you are correct.

                        Did you ever try the portions?? I wonder how the two compare.

                          Level lös was much better than the portions. It wouldn't have been a regular buy, but I could have seen myself getting the occasional tin. Blending Level lös, and Granit lös would have given a close approximation of Diplomat lös. That was my plan, but they removed it from the market before I was able to try :^/

                              I got a can of level in last weeks order from Snuscentral and I like it.
                              It has a tea like background and I find it a good one.
                              It has entered into my rotation.
