    Initial impressions...first taste of the real deal.

    My package arrived,

    2 cans of 02
    1 can of Oxyx
    1 can of Skruf white
    2 cans of Claq Qui

    ---

    After hearing the advice to NOT sniff the can while opened, well I just had to do it- I braced myself, and will each time I do it from now on, not bad.. def a pungency to this Swedish snus that sets it apart immediately.

    It tastes so much better.



    - 02

    First one I had to try was the 02- very enjoyable, definitely tasted the wood, nice fresh taste, pretty potent Vitamin N kick and durability- I think I lost track of time as I had to of had it in to the last drop a good 2+ hours, so super comfortable.

    Definitely something I will get again.

    ---

    Next one up to test was Onyx, besides the name triggering the image of a dark, there is a tangible difference from the 02 where you can almost taste the colors- 02 being a greener taste, and Onyx definitely being a dark one.

    Nice rich, and varying between the different notes of tobacco, citrus.

    I am looking forward to the last drop from this one as well!

    Certainly enjoyed this Onyx it is a heavy one... but certainly good enough to do at least once a day.
    Claq Qui- "Fight Club"

    I just popped one in.

    But I can tell it is going to be a staple.

    I really like its flavor profile so far.

    -- I must say I have done 3 of them throughout the day (I keep them in a while though)

    I am really happy about my new adventure.

        Especially with the Oynx. That is a once or twice a day snus for me.

        Decent order, welcome to the fun. :wink:

          I won't over do it-- although today I am going to dip into the Claq Qui~!

          Just must do it.

          Onyx is excellent stuff, I really look forward to pairing it up with a night of Guinness and Hoppy beer.

            I like Claq Qui alot, and I think General Sterk is like a white version of it.

              I'm almost done with my first can of Onyx, and have another one in the freezer. I can see how it could turn on you. I'm gonna wait awhile before starting the second tin. This is a good snus, that I don't want to turn.

                  Just popped a Skruf White portion before my workout..

                  I really like how it takes some time to rise to flavor, I can see myself using this a couple of times a day.

                  -

                  All in All this is so much better then smoking cigarettes.

                      I was wondering what the 02 stuff would be like. I'm tempted to try it out myself when my next paycheck comes in.

                        It has a light but steady taste, and a nice nic hit..

                        It is very enjoyable,

                        I certainly will be stocking it-- and honestly all of my choices thus far have far exceeded my expectations and have transformed me all the way to Swedish style oral tobacco.

                        In fact I will be getting all of them again I am sure of it.

                        I would recommend 02 to anyone, even if it is not for everyone's palate I am sure.

                          Ok after some settle time .. I currently feel.

                          That 02 and Skruf white portion are my two favorites thus far.

                          I am not really digging the Claq Qui as much as I started too, as it reminds me of whiskey after a while, and I am not the biggest fan of whiskey.

                          That plus it leaves my mouth tasting like 5 day old ass.

                          But that could just be the smithfield-farms flu.

                          I do enjoy the Onyx, but am saving that for the most part for a night of dressing up to the nines, and drinking dark hoppy beer all night...

                          Must say that my favorite every day staple is 02- I really like the clean power of it...

                            Onyx by Swedish Match is a brand of snus famous for its robust flavors and black portions.

                            General Onyx Titan Portion follows the same winning concept with its dark tobacco character and flavor that incorporates interesting flavor tones of smoke and flora. A nuanced tobacco flavor that is accompanied by a strong and stimulating nicotine kick (11 mg/portion). ...
