Recent Change to Skruf Los?

[LHB]

I recently tried Skruf Los for the first time, and am loving it more than any other of the 6 Los's I've tried so far. But on another forum today, there were a number of people complaining that the can had been changed slightly, and the ground made considerably coarser, making it harder to bake by hand.

I've never had much of a problem baking anything by hand, even though I tore the end of my right thumb last week. Still, the stuff I got recently has more of the consistency of Grov Los than Roda Lacket, which is what the forum members were complaining about. Posts were from about 1-2 weeks ago. Any word on this?

I haven't ordered any in a while but it has never had a consistency remotely close to RL IMO. It has always been on the coarser end of the spectrum but perhaps not quite Grov. I'd say somewhere between Ettan and Grov. Will throw in a can with my order this week to check it out.

Ya i think they changed the recipe slightly.

I have been using Skruf los for the past 18 months and I notice a change, not only in the can, but in the texture. The flavor is the same but the texture is more dry and crumbly than I used to get. Up until I read that other forum, I just had assumed I had received some dry cans and have been adding water. Not sure if the recipe changed though, perhaps a different kind of tobacco?? I'm slowly converting over to the more "feminine" mini portions anyway so this change in Skruf is helping the conversion.

So have Skruf managed to screw up the lös as well?

I've been pretty annoyed with Skruf for a while now for producing dry flavourless portions (and I know other forum members felt the same way) but always thought I could order the lös knowing that they can't screw it up.

Do me a favour and have a look if the can still says extra strong leaf tobacco? I think it should something like bladtabak if I remember correctly. If that has changed then they have definitely changed the tobacco and I am never ordering Skruf again. :evil:

i used skruf loose for a year or two full time. then they sold the company to some larger outfit and everything started changing until the snus just lost it's edge. Seems anytime a large company takes over a small one they manage to screw it up. When the tax first went up and everyone else dropped their cans to 45 grams skruf kept theirs at 50. Then they sold out and i guess the first thing the new place did was drop it to 45 grams. Then the tobacco seemed to start changing and they lost me. now i use general es loose but skruf loose used to be the best loose on the market. I hope some day they go back to that good tobacco

I've been using Skruf Stark loose daily for about a year and a half, and I haven't noticed any change, maybe because I never had a reason to suspect one. I've used a Prismaster with it for the majority of the time.
