    Finally, I found a snus that is getting better with more use

    I have tried a total of 25 different brands. A lot of them have given me a very good first impression (for example onyx, grov svart etc.). But then I get tired after a while and I want something else. But guess what: 02 actually started out as nothing special and lately I have been craving more and more. It keeps getting better. Maybe it's because of the neutral understated flavor combined with an adequate nic hit. Have I found my brand, or will can No. 10 be my climax (I'm on my 10th can now)?

    I found mine to.... until it was taken away from me :cry:

    Maybe I need to give 01/02 another chance. Really not happy in my quest to find a replacement for Retro. Just nothing seems to hold up to extensive use for me too. Was NOT impressed with 01/02 on first use, but guess I should buy a few more cans and see if something good can develop from them.

      I liked the 01 when I first opened it, but had to force myself to finish it. I still have an 02 that I need to break into. I liked the shape, but the flavor was not really my thing.

        I love 01/02.I have already gone through 25 cans of each of these and they are great quality top-notch snus.

          I'm with you, Multinic. 02 quickly too over my love for N&J and Claq Qui. And yeah, initially it seemed almost too subtle, but after just one can I was totally hooked. Now it seems to be the perfect amount of flavor, and a satisfyingly complex, not-weird, one at that. And not just the flavor, but the shape, the relative dryness, and of course the nic level just made the other brands look bad. I hope they keep it around because it's the only portion I want to use.

            These 01/02 are different.

            I loved them initially but I'm turned off of the 01. It leaves a weird taste on my tongue after about 40 minutes. The 02 is still in use because of it's nic hit which to me is massive.

            I swear that they spray them with juice that has extra nic added. These hit much faster than any other portions I've had...well, maybe with the exception of Thunder ES and Odens ES.

              Yeah, it's multidimensional perfection, so here are my ratings:
              02:

              shape: 5/5
              moisture: 5/5
              nicotine level: 5/5
              flavor: 4/5
              subtlety of flavor: 5/5
              design of can: 4/5
              pouch texture: 5/5
              saltiness: 5/5

              The benchmark would be General original, which would be like this:

              shape: 4/5
              mosture: 3/5
              nicotine level: 3/5
              flavor: 3/5
              subtlety: 3/5
              design: 3/5
              pouch texture: 3/5
              saltiness: 3/5

              02 vs. General Original: 38-25

              And the anticlimax would be Phantom Blue:

              shape: 3/5
              moisture: 3/5
              nicotine: 3/5
              flavor: 0/5
              subtlety: 0/5
              design: 2/5
              pouch: 0/5
              saltiness: 3/5

              So 02 wins 38-14

                01 is something I could use occasionally, but as a base I find the flavor a bit too complex. Not really intrusive, I still would consider it in the same category as grov, ettan, etc. I just prefer subtler flavors, and at the moment and foreseeable future I prefer skruf above all others.
