      Not at all alike, and Landströms is better. Landströms tastes much more natural, with a greater complexity, but more subtle.

          They are very different IMO.

          Bla is a more forward snus for me. I get blasted with flavor and a little burn. I mellows out to be a nice snus then kicks up again when it starts to slide. This snus tastes very dark too. It's got a heavy body and keeps the mouth more full of flavor.

          Landstroms is a different feel from the get-go. I think it's softer, the grind seems different to me but maybe it's just that its a little drier. I get a different flavor too and very little, if any burn. I like the burn though. Landstroms also is less prone to sliding on me too. I get more bergamot with this too. The tobacco seems lighter and less in-your-face.

            lol DaWg. Shame on you. *snickers......*

            Well I guess I am the only one that find these two so much alike. Maybe something is wrong with me?



            I'm just glad I made the connection since I can still get me Landströms!

              Isn't this the same guy who thought Spanish Gem reminded him of Coppenhagen? (lol)

                Hell, that's perfect for you then. Screw Blå. You get 5 extra grams for less money with Landströms :^)

                  Very different for me and I couldn't pick a better, they are both really good.

                    Hmmm... well, I never got the chance to try Blå, and unless/until PACT gets repealed, I may never have the opportunity. Landströms is a good snus, but I prefer Gellivare. So I suppose my answer would be "none of the above".

                      Never had Landstroms or Gellivare. How is the grind on it? Bla is very clay like, which i love

                        Slightly coarse grind, but not too coarse. Sets up very well.

                            No General has the consistency (and taste BTW) of putty

                            Landstroms is finely ground but a bit dryer and more substantive than General (in that it does not all melt together like a paste)

                              C'mon man cut me a break. People are going to start believing there is something wrong with me. I grab scents and hidden subtleties that most don't notice I'll bet, thus the references.

                              I still hold to Blå having some very similarities in the subtle tobacco & slight chocolaty goodness. I never meant 'cut for cut' or the whole experience was exactly the same. It's just that I can't put my finger on any other two (of my favorites) anyhow in being so similar the way they flavor in general.
