Howdy snus tasters... long time no post, right? In fact, this has probably been the longest lull since I started this little misadventure. Well... things have been picking up for me both at work and in my personal life, so my opportunities and motivation to write have been waning. That said, I do have a few promises that I intend to break... namely, reviewing my homemade snus (while it is very tasty, I want to spend some more time perfecting it), AND getting around to my last batch of mini portions (that mint catch and mocca stuff I got for the little redhead)... yeah, it went too quick, and the chance to review has long since passed. So, sorry!!! *grins* But what did you expect? I DO hate minty snus with a passion, so it only makes sense that I'd slack off when it comes to writing about them. Well... so as to not COMPLETELY break my promise... my (highly biased) summary on those is... "minty.... ick!" :P I can also add the domestically available General Mint White, and General Mint (er... American? well the shit in the rectangular can)--and I'll take it a step further and say "sickeningly sweet, gag-a-maggot... ick" for this one... not quite as bad as camel/marlboro... but still too close for my comfort... only use as a last resort. Yeah, picked both of those up out of necessity when I needed some portions on my recent vacation. Which leads me to my next point... don't be cheap, keep some good portions on hand just in case *nods*
That said, fresh reviews of Ettan Los and RL Los are STILL on the way... also to be accompanied by an editorial-type comparison of my (now) three favorite Swedish Match loose snuses (those two and GB Prima Fint). Since I've spent so much time (re)familiarizing myself with these... you can expect volumes on the subject.
I've been tap dancing around the subject (with the elegance of a bull in a china shop), but as much as I've enjoyed my los kick.... I've missed the convenience of portions too much. So I pulled the trigger on an order today (what prompted me to write this little teaser). A certain snus site is doing buy2/get1 on rolls of my new favorite Grov Stark Portions... so... being the thrifty/miserly fuck that I am, couldn't pass it up... I know, I know... already reviewed that one (still my most popular post)... but I did manage to sneak a can of N&J Cactus Spike, AND Thunder Brandy Alexander on with it. The Brandy Alexander comes highly recommended by another reviewer (his favorite, one that's had shaky availability at best)... knowing all too well the pain of losing a beloved favorite snus, I'm more than happy to support his cause and pitch in (even if it's just the one can).... and I'll encourage my readers to do the same (both here and in the review). So, that's a little taste of what to expect in the next week/10 days.
Til then, Happy Snusing!!!
