        You forgot Röda Lacket lös. ; )

        Best lös for taste&baking and for nic hit my favourite is skruf lös.

        Atm im enjoying very good snus: General lös.

        Those are my favourites.

            I have some gus los on the way. If it's anything like the portions I'm going to be in heaven.

                  It makes for a better los experience. You don't have the "Toilet paper just broke" shit smear hands, your greasy grubby little palms smearing oil and grime all over your wonderful snus.

                  Just take your thumb and fore finger, pinch some snus perhaps even press it on the inside of the can lightly, perhaps add a little more snus then suff it right up under your lip. Its quite heavenly. Jesus does it.

                      So I've managed to try each can from this order, and here's my impressions, in the order in which I sampled.

                      General--used it as a baseline, because I thought I knew what I was going to get. And I was right. Not bad, but nothing too exciting either. I'd say General would be the 'old reliable' of snus. Chances of me ordering again--slim.

                      Offroad--meh. Didn't excite me. Seemed to be lacking in flavor, but held together well. Chances of a reorder--slim.

                      Skruf stark-- Had high hopes for this one, but it came across as rather flavorless. Got a good nic hit, and held together well, but was hoping for a little more, considering the popularity. Chances of reorder--slim. I'll probably grab a can in a few months and try again.

                      Gots yellow. Let me start by saying I went into this with a little trepidation. I hated the green portions. By hated, I mean I wanted to go to Sweden and punch the guy who thought it a good idea to grind up alligator piss soaked tree bark, fart on it, and bag it for sale. But, since I paid for the yellow, I thought I'd give it a fair shake. Glad I did. Held together well, and the flavors were mellow and smooth. Good as an after dinner snus. Not an all day snus for me, but Gots managed to pull themselves off my fecal roster with this one. Chances of reorder--yes. Probably one can every other order.

                      Grov--Grov white is my go to, so I had high hopes for this one. I am happy to say this snus pulled through. Good with the morning coffee, good after dinner. The ingredients should read:

                      tobacco
                      salt
                      little sweet morsels of goodness dropped from the heavens.

                      Chances of reorder--a roll with my next order.

                      Grov was also my mystery can.


                      And now to the prismaster--you guys made it out to be the biggest waste of plastic to ever exist. I don't think it's that bad. Sure, it could be better, but I've had some good luck with it. I do, however, see it breaking in the future. I guess I'll have to pony up for the icetool. Which is better, aluminum or stainless?

                      I think me likes los. A lot. I'll still be buying portions, as it's easier at work, but at home, los is the way to go.

                        Prsimaster....not so much bad, just Icetool SO much better.

                        As for aluminum or steel, just depends on what you like in life. I prefer the steel, I like the weight and heft of steel. But they both do the same thing. :wink:

                          And the Icetool is much more impressive to have, it's alot sleeker looking. It's very sexy.

                          And when you compare the pris the two make and put it side by side, it's easy to see why one is superior to the other.

                          From a review I did.

                            Skruf fanboy so I'll start by saying give Skruf a chance - I liked it but wasn't impressed at first, and now I just received a roll of Skruf stark los. I fn love hillbillying Skruf, as it tastes fantastic and gives an awesome nic hit and stays together better than an other loose snus I've ever tried (and I've tried just about all of them).

                            Secondly, if you didn't completely dislike general loose, try the general extra stark loose for sure. Got a roll of that coming my way as well, for the same reasons as Skruf. ES is like General but with thrice the nicotine hit.

                              I'm not a regular los user, whatever that means, I do use it now and again, sometimes daily, but I notice for me, lossnus is usually rather mild. I've been using this Phantom Brown Los, and while it molds super easy, and has a pleasant taste, it's very mild. What los is there, if there is, that has a really strong and bold taste, so that when you have it in, you really know it?

                                I haven't tried them all yet, but the strong los I prefer is General ES. Strong, but a lot of good flavor. Oden's ES Kanel is pretty yummy, from what I remember--I have another can on the way. Seems like a great autumn flavor. Oden's ES Original, I don't enjoy the flavor quite as much as GES--still good--but a real sledghehammer. Good for waking up with, and no doubt it's in there whatsoever.

                                I'm sure Thunder but haven't tried the los yet.
