Going to try Phantom/Rothbrix Snus for the first time

[Treath]

I researched enough and think I'm going to try out Phantom/Rothbrix snus, since it has the lowest TSNA levels at 0.7 ppm and it's quite cheap.
I'm going to order the Classic Blue and Classic Brown to see how they taste.
I have read that you either like Phantom/Rothbrix or you hate it, but at the moment money is an issue so I'll go ahead and see.

I used to snus last year but stopped abruptly, since my girlfriend was totally disgusted by it. I'm slowly trying to snus again.
The snus I had a while back was:
Ettan los, a bold taste...in the middle of the other two
Göteborgs Prima Fint los, a good mild taste, but was missing something
General Original los, I didn't like it...too strong of a taste

Is there some resemblance in taste from the Classic Blue and Brown to the ones I tried in the past? Opinions?

Phantom snus isn't like any other Swedish snus. In fact, I'd put it in it's own category, along with Orlik as Danish snus. Danish snus is only slightly closer to Swedish snus than American dip is.

I feel your pain BUT. Now actually I can french kiss her with a portion in and don't hear a thing about it. Nasal snuff, now that's a different story. Can't even mention it. :?

Is there a big difference taste-wise between the Classic Blue and Classic Brown and other snus?

Yea, I think so. That's why I'd call it Danish snus. The Danes do snus a bit differently, and the 2 brands I had were more similar to each other than Swedish snus.

I see, then the taste will be a surprise for me.

phantom los is awesome. i havent had the classic, but the brown and blue are both in my top 5. the brown is like an artificial tasting ettan ripoff, that is good in its own way. the blue is like a lemony windex i-have-no-idea-what-else-to-compare-it-to flavor. for what its worth, they both taste very artificial flavored, but i love them both nonetheless.

like kool aid.

What daruckis said, except without the "I love it" bit. It truly is a love or hate brand, as far as I can tell. These definitely won't be a cheap substitute for what you've enjoyed in the past... Consider it a cheap alternative, for better or for worse

PS: don't let me get you down, people absolutely love this stuff. I don't count myself among them however.

Which Offroad snuses are good? Any sweet ones?
The ones I've tried so far in my original post were not sweet from what I remember.
The non-traditional tasting snuses interest me, since I never had any yet.
