    RL or Rape 2

    Besides the title sounding like a snuff film...I didn't intend that pun but there it is...(and they really need to change the name of rape if they ever intend on really pushing this stuff in the English speaking world)...My question is this: So far I think I've decided I like the sweetish berry-flavored snuses. Thunder Berry (make a mini of this dammit!) and Skruf Tranbar are my two favorite flavors. That said, from reviews it sounds like Roda Lacket and Goteborgs Rape #2 are two that I might enjoy. My question is--which do you all (who've tried both) think is the sweeter or berry-er (is there an actual word for what I mean here?) flavor? I may still buy at least a can of each but I prefer to order by the roll and if there's a general consensus here (other than agreeing that I like parenthetical statements; that's pretty obvious) I may go with the majority and buy a roll of one and a can of the other. I can't order until Wed or Thur so that I'll be home when the UPS guy arrives so I have time for some good discussion.

    So, discuss!

    Can't speak from experience but Roda sounds like it would taste like loose leaf chew to me. GR2 would probably be the more berry-ish tasting one of the two, with Roda leaning more towards a raisin taste.

      I think you hit it right. I love GR #2 and it accounts for about 90% of my snus usage. I do like RL too, but GR #2 just does it for me. Now, understand that neither is actually sweet, especially compared to a Thunder brand. They are a more muted flavor and quite salty at first. The common trait that both have is a slow build up and then a gush of flavor about 15 to 20 minutes into the portion. As far as berry flavored, while I do pick up hints of lingonberry in GR #2, its a bit more complex than just a berry flavored snus. Think of a great glass of gin with a rubbing of berry juice on the rim

      Do yourself a favor an order a can of each, try them and THEN order rolls if you feel they do it for you. On second thought, go ahead and buy a roll and if you hate it, sell it to me cheap :P

        GR No.2 is the one for you, out of the two you mentioned. It's a mix of the peculiar juniper flavor that GR is known for and a tangy and sweet cranberry flavor. To me, RL was like a sweet cigar. Sweet tobacco with a slight, almost unnoticable "fruity" flavor. I like both.

            Rape #2 I would say. I've tried both and, although many people like it, Roda Lacket is lacking in flavor to my tastes. Rape #2 is a bit more pronounced in flavor in my opinion.

                      there is no #2 in los form.

                      and yeah the #2 is much berrier. i think its disgusting though. roda lackett at least has a little class. its like the difference between a smirnoff alcopop and a woodchuck cider.
