      It's everything I want in a los. Smooth, tasty, and not overly salty. I hate pickle lip (even though I have an affinity for GES). And I'd be willing to guess I like it because it will soon be unavailable.

      My one criticism is the can. I can appreciate the extra five grams, but I'm sure I spill at least that while digging for a pris. There has to be a better way to package this yummy goodness.

        A lot of people really like that snus. I tried it out and it's pretty good. I get a waxy after taste with it and Gellavare though. Must just be my mouth chemistry.

          Landströms was the reason I first got an IceTool. I had no intention of buying one, but I consider it essential with Landströms. Wasting snus is unacceptable to me, and the IceTool lets you use it without waste. I ended up using the IceTool for everything after that :^)

            I prefer handbaking with everything but Landströms as it's a difficult bitch to bake. Icetool is the way to go with this one.

              I still manage to spill this with an icetool until about 1/4 of the can is gone. Maybe I'm not used to the shape of the can or something, so I guess I just need a little more practice. That means I'll have to use more Landstroms. Poor me.

                When the can is new, try boring the IceTool into the snus with a slight back and forth twisting motion. By the time you get to the bottom of the tin, you should have 2 clicks filled, and you can then compress it against the bottom of the tin. Gently pull the tool out, and brush the stragglers off into the tin. This really only works when you have a table or something like that to use. I don't know of any easy way if you're holding the tin in hand.

                  landstroms has ruined all other varieties of los for me. I used a bit of general earlier and it was like comparing a pint of bud light to that of the mighty ballast point sculpin. best base tobacco, unobtrusive yet incredibly flavorful. I'll only have fridge space for <2 rolls of it when pact hits, which makes me cry and cry and is causing me to seriously contemplate picking up another freezer.

                    I love it too. Have some in right now. A while back when these came back through Northerner I bought 1 can of each. Like a dumbass, before I had moved on from the Gellivare to the Landstroms, I bought a roll of the former. Wishing now it had been Landstroms. Oh well, they are both great, and I will just have to buy a couple rolls of L now before end of June.
