    Default Plain Tobacco flavored snus

    Came back around in my rotation of various snus's. Granit mini... mmmm, tastes like tea at first. I have enjoyed trying different brands. Figuring what I'm gonna' want for next time. I do like the plain tobacco flavors like Ettan and Lab. I believe Toboca and Granit also fall in the plain category here.

    What others fall in the plain category?

    I'm not yet ready to order, a new job still alludes me, although I do have some temporary work lined up for September working on a film. $ from that may just catch me up. Hope I will have some to make an order. I will have to make it count as to what I want.

    I'd like to help Kookie, but other than the ones you've mentioned I really can't say for sure in that 8mg range. If Stubby stumbles upon this I'm sure he can supply some wisdom. Skruf would probably be to your liking. I use the Skruf ES and I think it's one of the best 'baccy flavors in the world, but I can only assume Skruf Original has the same great taste.
    I'll check in later when I find out where I am, provided I'm still where I left myself :confused:.

    I tried some Nick and Johnny strong and it is a plain tobacco. Maybe their regular portions are too.
    Sanity is overrated. I'd rather be happy.

    Well, I asked about plain tobacco flavors, which I enjoy the most, and I thought that would be the least of the opinion of a flavor. What I mean is, I've come to find that asking what is a good flavor to you is like asking what color you like.

    Hittman, your comment on the Nick & Johnny, again this is just my opinion, is not plain tobacco flavor. It is close though. It does have a hint of something, bergamot perhaps. Skruf as well, TV, has the bergamot taste but I will agree is not as strong as something like General. I really can't confirm that opinion of mine since all of my Original Skruf is gone except the cranberry flavored Skruf. That does tell me I did like the Original Skruf though, lol.

    Regardless, there isn't one of this list I didn't like. Well, there were times I didn't like it, or my favorite would turn bitter on me, but I would simply switch to another and come back to it another day and I would love it.

    General Sterk White Portion
    01 Original Lab Series Portion
    Ettan Portion
    Ettan White Portion
    Taboca Strong Mini
    Granit Maxi Portion
    Granit Mini Portion
    Nick and Johnny Strong Portion
    Skruf Original Portion
    Mocca Anis Mini Portion
    Phantom Classic White Portion
    General Mini White Portion
    General Mini Portion
    Goteborgs Rape' White Portion
    Goteborgs Rape' No2 White Portion
    Fellinni Licorice White Mini Portion
    Thunder Frosted Strong MINI Portion
    Thunder Strong Mini portion
    Mocca Pomegranate Mini
    Thunder Berry Extra Strong Portion
    Skruf Cranberry Portion Snus

    Plus all the General I can get at my local cigar shop. (That list is kind of in order of preference of flavor.)

    That is everything on my first order as of the end of June. I am starting to run out of my favorites on this list. I should have rotated more evenly. I started with a kind of diary too, but I lost that file when my hard drive failed.

    I think with what I have left of my stock, it will last me a month if not two months. I will tell you, this is the cheapest way to get my WTA fix! Even with the higher shipping costs.

    I can't wait for my next order. My favorites will be on there including variations of that. I want Lab 02 for sure. Also I want to try the loose. I think I will go with Ettan on that. Maybe an extra stark loose too. I will have to get a prismaster, although it seems it may be not needed, its less than 2 bux.

    So, I guess this is just another opinion, but Ettan is the straightest tobacco flavor. I appreciate your inputs. Thanks guys!

    Oh, TV, Skruf ES will be on my next order list. W00t!

    I really enjoy the Camel Snus that can be found at a lot of gas stations, truck stops, Speedways, Tobacco stores, etc. I don't find the price to be too outrageous. I use the Camel Frost as I was a menthol smoker.

    CathyfromOhio, for sure to each their own, but I can't stand the sweetness of american snus. I suppose I was referring to Swedish snus. Although, there are american brands sold in europe like Lucky Strike, which I loved to smoke in my youth, and Paul Mall and such, but I believe they are unavailable to be shipped to the states. That's a whole other topic though.

    Lots of straight tobacco flavors that you're missing

    Grovsnus
    Tre Ankare (The forgotten snus that is very good)
    Odens classic original
    Prima Flint (Loose only but one of the best)
    Roda Lacket (slight raisin/date type flavor in the background but mostly tobacco)
    Thunder original mini

    I found Camel to be too sweet and Juicy. I went and bought a pack of analogs after buying Camel snus.

    Ah! Thank you Stubby. That is what I was lookin' for, for sure. Roda Lacket sounds delicious too. ALL those will go on my next order. Boy, I can't thank you enough.



    Edit: Hmmm, I will have to revisit my Thunder Mini's. Its taken me a while to go all around. (Pausing to long for some favorites already.) It would help if I didn't loose that diary I was keeping.

    I'd add General Onyx to that list. Just opened my first can and first impression is that it is very doable. I wrote up about it in "what's under your lip"
