    Regulars/Rolls vs. Novelties/Single tins

    After reading one of Zero's last posts regarding "throw a tin of RL in the next order":

    I've been snusing now for a year and am still in the phase where I want to keep one of everything stocked at all times. My orders usually consist of looking at the buysnus loose page and just shooting buckshot.

    I've become more picky regarding portion, mainly because I only find use for them at work and after dinner when the wife's still up (She's slowly growing used to me lipping up with mud).

    I've shied away from ordering rolls (except for the dwindling Diplomat supply) because I like having the variety available. However, I am becoming more delineating with my ordering.

    So my question is, for those of you that are veteran snusers, what are the brands that you habitually purchase rolls, and which do you "Throw a tin or two in on an order"?

    This might be a good distinguishing factor we could use from here on out when describing a snus : Roll/Tin

    I couldn't figure out how to work the poll feature, does someone want to start a Buy a Roll/ Buy a Tin of certain brands?

    Here's my list


    Roll

    Gotlandsnus gray lös
    Gotlandsnus Yellow lös
    Gotlandsnus yellow portion
    Gotlandsnus Gray portion
    Gotlandsnus Green portion
    Gotlandsnus I got a roll of Jule portion last year, I'll get a roll of lös this year instead.
    Landströms
    Gellivare
    Grov portion
    LD red lös
    LD Black
    LD Enbar
    Catch Eucalyptus
    Lucky Strike original
    General Onyx


    Individuals

    Everything else :^P

    I won't try Elyxr, and I'm not fond of mini portions, though I will try them once. I don't like Catch Cassis, level or V2 products, although I will give V2 one more chance and buy one of their lös products in my next order.

      Rolls I usually stick to staples. Ettan, Gotlands Yellow, General (loose); Skruf Stark, N&J (portion). The rest I mix up with one-offs of whatever. I usually go through a couple cans from the roll and then crack open something different for a change - something I've not had in a while (which I enjoyed previously), something I feel may be worth a second chance (if I tried it some time ago and wasn't keen on it) or something new if it's just come out. Portions I usually stick to N&J or Skruf Stark because they're just for at work and I like something strong if it's going to be in a portion.

            At first you are spoilt for choice and just want to try everything But after a while i think you settle in to your favorites and stick with those (I'm on my third year of snusdom). Normally I order a roll of my bread and butter loose snus (ettan/general/grov and more recently gotland) then mix it up with some different ones for variety.

            I almost never order a roll of portions though. I like to have different flavors for different occasions. My friends love too see which tin of portions I've got each time I'm at the pub and the brave ones even try a few.

              I just buy rolls of what I like. I have added two-three rolls here recently.

              I have about 10 rolls of portions and 6 rolls of loose. I just like to pay the minium price over the long run. I got a couple of others buying so quite a few of them were 1/2 price rolls.
