First Lös Pris!

Ok, got my icetool and a can of General Lös.



Pris was a bit bigger than i thought it would be.   I don't think I packed it quite tightly enough either, it cracked into two pieces on the way in, so I shoved it up into my lip and tucked the pris in with my tongue.   Now I have what feels like a standard sized portion up in there..  Flavor is a bit more evident, Vitamin N rush was a bit more evident up front.   I'm drinking a chai tea with this so that's balancing nicely.

I'm anxious to see what other flavors and brands are like, General is "ok" but rather run-of-the-mill for my tastes, I could see a regular several-pris a day user doing something like General Lös, but I view these as more of a 1-2 a day kinda thing, if that.  I'm particularly interested in the Roda Lacket and some of the licorice snus that I see, doing the impatient dance waiting on my order from Northerner to get here, I have a nice sampling on the way.

Welcome to Adventures in Snus

I'm Red MacGregor, a new snus user for about a month. I created this blog to post my thoughts & comments of snus as I venture along this journey of discovery.


Currently on deck is a can of 01 Original Portion.




I gotta say I really like the form factor, all the benefits of a mini with the full punch of a large portion. It stays up out of sight, and nobody realizes I have anything in my lip (which is advantageous considering the wife doesn't care for me using snus at all).



I'm enjoying the flavor, a fresh tobacco with just a hint of fruit and wood in there. Low on the salt and enough nicotine to carry it... I don't find it to be completely dripless as advertised however. I don't mind the drip as it sits tho, that's when i notice the flavors coming through. I will probably order more of this.
