roda lacket is the only snus in your current arsenal i would thumbs up.

**ahandsomeporkchop** · 05-09-09, 03:27 AM

Those snuses are all fine and good (except for the Offroads, yuck), but I reccommend you give some of the more traditional snuses with a stronger tobacco flavor a shot as well.

Starting out, I was more intrigued by the minty and fruity flavors since I had been using Skoal Wintergreen and Skoal Citrus before. Nine months later I find myself liking brands like Nick & Johnny and General much more. Roda Lacket is still in my rotation, though. It's a damn good snus.

**lxskllr** · 05-09-09, 03:30 AM

Not my first choices for snus, but reasonable I suppose. Don't judge all snus by your order there. The only one I would say is close to traditional is the Röda Lacket, and even that one tends to be light, with a fruity taste.

They may be right up your alley, but if they aren't there's others you could try before writing snus off :^)

Eric,

I keep asking the opposite question why can't Camel make a snus that tastes like Swedish snus. :roll:

**sm0ke42o** · 05-09-09, 04:30 AM

The mini-mints IMO are what RJR should have been going for with frost. Its similar only without the entire packet of sweet-n-low and a more natural mint taste. I'm not huge into flavored snus but mini-mints are admittedly very good.

Catch eucalyptus is also worth trying if you like mint although its not a sweet mint like spearmint or peppermint. Think salty cough drop type of mint without the medicine taste.

The stuff you ordered looks well-suited to the tastes you described but be prepared as even General Wintergreen is "sweet" compared to most other Swedish snus. I personally do not like offroad but for me it had more to do with the seemingly cheap and gargantuan portion material, it was like putting a sticky note in my mouth.

Have fun trying out all the new brands, that for me was the most fun with a tobacco product I ever had. Also don't be disappointed if you dont like some or even all of those. Trade them on the exchange for stuff you haven't tried and keep going until you find one. Good luck

BTW Roda Lacket is an excellent snus.

big ups to offroad cranberry, it's one of my top 3, although i prefer offroad cranberry strong. check it out if you like the original one.

**Jason** · 05-09-09, 04:50 AM

I like almost everything you have there.....BUT, it did take me a while before I came around to some of them. Keep that in mind as you are trying each one for the first time. Tastes change, and your overall acceptance of different varieties of snus will most likely change as well. One brand that you try once and throw away will suddenly become your favorite the next time you get the courage to try it again. Weird how it works.... :wink:

The best American snus yet, 1000% better than Camel, but still sweet. Available at Getsnus now for $0.99 for a pack of 10.

**Gizmer** · 05-09-09, 05:26 PM

General mini mint is probably the closest you're going to get to camel as far as the sweetness goes. Discreet is close and very good. I think it's better than mini mint. If you want something with more of a kick try Thunder Frosted minis (or plain old Thunder Frosted if you want a head rush).

**Sigg** · 05-09-09, 05:43 PM

Sweet!! I just received my first order yesterday as well. Have started with the Grov and Göteborgs Rapé white (and a single General portion from a sampler pouch). Loving it so far and can't wait to try some of the others.

The nic strength is definitely stronger than the Camels but is just perfect for me since I'm trying to get over a pack a day smoking habit. I haven't experienced the head spinning high but I have yet to try some of the sterks. Were you a smoker/dipper before picking up the Camels?

**chadizzy1** · 05-09-09, 05:51 PM

Owens187 - I, like you, came over from Camel "SNUS" American. It's an interesting journey. My best advice is to try as much as possible. Good thing snus is so cheap! There are many different kinds and everyones taste is different. If you're looking for something similiar to Camel, I'd suggest General Mini Mint, or Triumph. Also, the Discreet variety is VERY good and getting great reviews here:

You can get some free samples from their website if you send them an email. Tom is VERY generous when it comes to this product.

Also, Thunder Frosted mini is a great new product. It's mildly minty and gives quite a kick. I think you would enjoy it.

**Ant66Ant** · 05-09-09, 11:26 PM

OK for your first order, I've tried 3,5,6 in lös all very good. If you like RL how about some of the more traditional taste snuses in your next order. A can of lös too. I was a bit of a pussy about trying lös but once I did no going back to portions for me.

Me? I'll want to try thunder frosted lös next.
