    bergamot and plain tobacco flavs

    From what I gather on google, it's a citrus, like an orange.. Why the heck would I want that in my snus? I see it in the descriptions all over at buysnus.com I never heard of it, so I had to look it up. Sounds nasty, should never mix fruit and tobacco, and fruit should never touch a pizza...

    Why brand out there actually tastes like tobacco, maybe a hint of molasses, and nothing else, just a semi sweet tobacco, and if possible a nice clean pouch not to wet and nasty.

    Bergamot's great in snus, I don't care what Chad says :^P

    Give it a try. This isn't Skoal citrus we're talking about. It's a very natural, and complimentary flavor.

    More directly to your question, the Swedes don't really do sweet. If you're looking for natural tobacco, with salt and smoke, these are your choices...

    Grov
    Ettan
    Phantom Brown
    Göteborgs Prima Fint
    Röda Lacket lös, but definitely not the portion.

    For sweet, and closest to American chew, try Probe. It's a love/hate snus, but definitely worth a shot.

      bro, i'm in the same boat.
      i feel like an outcast because i'm not into that kinda thing.

      ettan (white portions are best) have a pure, tobacco flavor. they are non flavored, but really good.

      probe whiskey is very good, it has a pure tobacco flavor, but it's also slightly sweet and smoky, it's very good.

      those are the two regulars that i like that don't have the heavy bergamot flavor.

      EDIT: lxskllr - haha, I knew you'd call me out on that one.

        Alright, thanks for the suggestions, ordering a couple cans, still looking for the fav all day flavor. I'll grab some Etten and Probe, those sound good.
        Now the question is white or regular?

          That's personal preference. I strongly prefer regular portions, but you might like the whites. Maybe 1 of each?

            simon, it is used so much simply because it works. Don't over analyze it,

            Try it, then tell us what you think.

            And I love whites. But everyone different. Until YOU have tried them, get both.

                    I like current. Has all relevant info, what more needed??

                    Old version, just looked, and please know I don't mean bad here, just being blunt honest. But really sad and pathetic. Like you feel this compulsion to put your name up in bright lights.

                    Chad, we see you. We can't help but see you. You post at a rate sometimes that might even embarrass me. :wink:

                    Leave it just as you have it now. Makes Snuson far more pleasant, and not visually jarring

                          See the way I see it, molasses belongs on baked beans and in my oatmeal not on tobacco. :roll:

                          Tell you want, let me have the bergamot and you take the molasses.

                            bergamot is awesome. earl grey is my favorite tea, and bergamot snus i generally like.
