    Triumph alternative

    Is there any swedish snus brands that taste similar and are as moist as triumph? Ever since they killed triumph snus Ive had to use camel snus and it isnt exactly the best.

    Sorry Josh. Sadly there is nothing even close to the taste of Triumph.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





    I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

      Welcome Josh and stick around, we'll try to learn you a thing or two about snus. I've never tried Triumph but do believe there might be some folks who can give you some hints. Have you ever ordered snus online?

        Welcome to Snuson Josh man


        As others have said. No. Next question??

        Give Swedish a try. Good stuff, but yes, all will be different from Triumph, at least the regular triumph. I never tried the other, so can't say what something like Thunder Frosted would be compared. But Thunder Frosted is a super strong, quite sweet, mint snus, if that might be your thing. But the regular Triumph??? Unique.

        One other thing to try. Get some Discreeet. That is another, sweet American snus. Really, really good. Might be the closest you would find. Available at Getsnus, Northerner, and Clubsnus at least.

          In my opinion, there are two Swedish brands that are similar to Triumph.

          Triumph Original= Roda Lacket White Portion

          Triumph Mint= General White Mint Portion

            Not really. Like snusjus said, Triumph Original struck me as a sweetened version of Röda Lacket portions. But those are nowhere near as sweet as you are probably used to.

            If Triumph Mint was your thing, you might try General Mint, or General Wintergreen. There's also Thunder Frosted and Thunder Wintergreen, although those are both incredibly strong.

            Oh, and we have another Ohio snuser. Fellas, we're gonna have to do something about this sooner or later. Tribe game, or somethin. :wink:

              I thought Triumph Original had a sweet berry/fruitness about it. That being said, for someone wanting "something" like that, I'd say Offroad Cranberry, maybe Skruf Tranbar. I haven't had the new Thunder Berry.

              For the Mint, Offroad Frosted, or General Mint. I'm guessing on those, as I haven't had them. Maybe Thunder Frosted for a strong one.

                Hmmm, I don't find Thunder Frost sweet at all, especially compared to the Camel candy, err snus. It is a strong mint, but I do not find it sweet in any way.

                  ,,, or General Wintergreen.
                  Just be forewarned if you do try the General Wintergreen you better be either near a toilet or ready to call the doc due to a 4hr + erection cause folks either hate it or love it.

                  Myself, I need to be near the toilet for that one.

                    Hrmm, I agree on the General White Mint portion, but if you really taste the Triumph original, I always felt it tasted like a subtle peach flavor.

                    Here is a trick for those that like a sweet snus but not mint all the time:

                    Alternate portions! I have found that if I have a General Mint in the sweetness carries over to the next snus I have if I don't swirl a but of water around in my mouth before I put the next one in. You'd be surprised at what can be improved with a touch of sweetness!

                    I really don't think there is anything like Triumph original on the market right now.

                      I think Roda Lacket is the most similar to Triumph Original though. I think Triumph Original had some of the same base ingredients as Roda Lacket... then Lorillard demanded Swedish Match add artificial sweeteners.

                          It's all cool man. I mean 4+ hour erections are fun and all as long as you have something to do with it. :wink:

                            Is General wintergreen juicy like triumph or is it dry like tourney? Im not a fan of dry snus. Im a moist snus guy. Also where is the best place to get some on the internet?

                              It's moist. You can get it from getsnus, northerner American warehouse, and not sure, but I'd think clubsnus would have it too. Maybe the Swedish shops have it too.
