Snus recomendations? I've tried THESE...

[NewYork]

So I spent $50 on 7 cans of snus to find this out... (OP=original portion, WP=white portion etc.)

Probably not re-order
Odens OP: Good but not for my taste (too tea like of a flavor)
General WP: Same flavor as Odens with more salt
General Mint: Do not like very much (not a peppermint guy lol)
Offroad Wintergreen: Not enough wintergreen flavor, but decent tobacco flavor there
Pioneer Snuff los: Good flavor but MUDDY stuff

The GOOD!
Probe Whiskey: WOW I REALLY DIG THIS STUFF!
General Wintergreen: Good but not great (wish it tasted more like american wintergreen dip/snuff)
Ettans WP: MAYBE re-order but really salty

Haven't yet tried
Thunder Frosted
01 original

Any recomendations??? I do not like the ones that taste like tea to me. I LOVE the way Copenhagan tastes THANX!!!!

If you're going to try lab01, you may as well get a can of 02. Maybe some skruf or skruf es. I've always liked grovsnus black.

The 01 was part of my original first order, just havent tried it yet. I keep hearing Grovsnus is great BUT, I hear the same thing about Ettan and Odens and General. I guess my taste is a little different as I have found Probe Whiskey to be the best and nothing like gen, odens, ettan for example. Is there any specific ones I might like based off my pleasent experience with probe? "lol that doesnt sound right."

Glad I live in PA, $50 sounds ridiculous. That's well over twice what I pay here. I also liked the probe whiskey, but I generally like just about anything snus I purchase. You might want to pose question at the sites below-

Well, shipping was $13 cheapest I found and $8 tobacco tax for the order. It was getsnus.com

Once you get a feel for what you like then you can order in bulk like we do and get your cost per can down closer to $3-$4 a can.

Very true. Still new to snus and looking for my go-to's. Still searching for that dank fermented taste that comes with the american stuff.

The problem is that as far as I know, all Swedish snus is pasteurized and not fermented. I'm sure that as many as there are that there has to be a few you'll like.

That's not a problem!! That's a good thing!! If you are looking for the best wintergreen look no further than Jakobsson's wintergreen.. Just saying...

Something to consider with this is that snus is not dip, even though they are related. You will not likely find an equivalent flavor to dip in the snus world. I've never had dip but from what I've heard it has a more in your face flavor compared to the more subtle and refined flavor of snus. The best thing to do is take snus on its own terms and move on from there.

It would be like trying to compare cigarettes to e-cigs. On the surface it seems similar but trying replicate cigarettes will only lead to frustration. Dip is dip and snus is snus. Take each one for what it is.

A big +1 to Stubby's post.

That being said, if you like the base tobacco flavor of Thunder Wintergreen, then try thunder Original. It's a basic tobacco flavor. Also,the closest I have tried to copenhagen flavor was Grovsnus Black. Still not the same though.

Absolutely. Forget what you know and move on. Swedish snus is an avenue all to itself. Forget the past end enjoy what this healthier future has to offer. .
