Default Question about Snus

Has anyone tried Phantom brand Snus? I was looking at it last night after I tried the Camel stuff. I enjoyed it and figured it may be worth trying more brands. Also has anyone tried to order off of Premium Snus - Your online snus shop for Swedish Snus

Looks a good deal more expensive then other online stores. Here is the big three most popular places to get snus.

Get snus at GetSnus.com

Northerner. Buy Swedish Snus & Snuff Online. The Healthy Smokeless Tobacco Alternative

Buy Snus, Order Swedish snus online world wide - BuySnus.com

Getsnus ships everything from a US warehouse so is the fastest.

As for phantom, the only one I've tried is phantom brown white. It's one of the pure tobacco flavored snuses but with a fairly strong sweet wood-smoke flavor mixed it. Don't know yet if I like it enough to become a regular for me, but it's not bad. It could very well end up on my secondary rotation level (not an everyday thing but I'll get a can occasionally).

Don't know this website, I use buysnus & Northerner myself.

I have however tried Phantom (brown, white) and thought it was vile. It's the only snus that I haven't even given a second try to - 10 minutes was enough. I don't really like any of the Danish snus that much (V2, Thunder), they have an odd taste and texture IMHO.

But taste is very subjective so you may love phantom (someone must because they're still making it!)

I can personally vouch for getsnus and northerner. Just don't try to add the snus that has Cuban tobacco in it =P They'll remove it when you try to checkout. Hey, can't blame me for trying. As far as brand goes it depends on what you like. To be perfectly honest, Camel snus is bottom of the barrel as far as nicotine and taste goes. I won't say it was a horrible taste, but it's nothing compared to Swedish snus. The best thing I can say about camel is that they got the carcinogens down to virtually non-exhistant. If you want high nicotine then Oden's Extra Sterk (extra strength) is the highest out there so far. Other's range from 4 to 8, there are white portions and mini portions. Mini (Camel sized) are smaller, but there's a newish Thunder Extra Sterk mini and something else that has like 16mg of nicotine in a mini pouch. White is just a small white pouch. As for Phantom, never tried it.

I use the Phantom Blue loose and it is one of my favorites. I also have a can of the Phantom brown which I haven't got around to trying yet. People that like the Blue say that the portions aren't as good as the loose though.
I usually purchase from Northener or Getsnus also.
