Göteborgs Prima Fint Loose

clay and salt

I know it’s heresy to disparage an alleged classic but the flavor profile here is simply non-existent (to me). It’s widely acknowledged as a “mild” snus, I’d take a step further and describe it as impoverished; totally devoid of interest. I find Roda or Skruf los constitute a perfect medium between flavor extremities with regard to something like this and tobacco bombs like Ettan. Don’t hate me, sorry. :/

The lös of Legend

I am a big GR fan. However, I am not a lös supporter. Or wasn't.

As my first foray into lös was GR, I am happy to see Prima Fint is brilliantly bake-able.
It simply doesn't feel like a chore or obstacle for conquest.

The flavor is surprisingly straightforward and rather mellow. Gentle is the word.

It has a natural mouth-feel with gentle tobacco merging with slight sweetness -- missing overtones of traditional (to me) GR juniper bite. No zing!

Overall: the complexities at work in GR tradition seem more straightforward here , but what they capture feels like the essence and execution of simplicity. It works beautifully.

My long forgotten freind

Hooray for me! I just went back and checked my first order date from Snuscentral and, it's been 6 years since I quit the cancer sticks and switched to Snus. Hahaha, that's enough of me patting myself on the back. And brings me to my review of Prima Fint. I can't believe this snus and I somehow parted ways. I guess I got to "caught up" in trying other things. But now I remember how good Prima Fint was. (And still is ) The first pinch out of the can from my new order was pure enjoyment! Right out of the tin, a pleasant earthy smell with notable juniper. The fine grind makes it easy to bake a prilla. And that taste! A little salty, mild tobacco and again, juniper. Nothing about Prima Fint is anywhere near overpowering; it is as smooth as silk. I can't believe how long it has been since my last tin but, I promise to remember my old friend on every future order!

The holy grail of los snus

Put a roll or two of this in your next order, you won't be disappointed!

Best Lös I've tried

Prima Fint is my favorite Lös. it is very mellow and approachable. also if you're a newby to lös prillas are VERY easy to bake. if you're thinking about trying lös for the first time or are a veteran who somehow hasn't tried this classic I highly recommend göteborgs Prima Fint.

Very good

This being my second loose experience. I find this one to be very pleasant and mellow. Slight smokey and nice salty tones makes this one very good. Very easy to use.

Simple and delightful

I love Prima Fint. This is the easiest loose snus to form-----it's not even close. Even after 45 minutes I can pry it loose with my tongue and move it over to the other side of my upper lip, enjoying the flavor while I do so. The taste is mild, and straightforward.

Since it's a regular strength (in that 7.5-8% range) I make it my first and last snus of the day.

Here's to another 100 years of Prima Fint!

Very Approachable Flavor

Prima Fint was the first lös I've tried, and I fell in love with the aroma and flavor. The flavor is simple, slighty sweet, smooth, bright, and delightful. Amazing summertime snus and can pair with a variety of beverages. Not sure if this is normal, but this can turn into a mudslide after about 35 mins., however I kind of expected this with lös snus. I can see myself ordering this every time.

Subtle sweetness

Like Patrick M said, the flavor is simple tobacco, with a hint of sweetness, and since it's not as sweet as most flavorings, it doesn't detract from the tobacco at all. I literally just tried it a few minutes ago, and I already have a feeling it'll be a regular purchase for me. Perfect for the first or last snus of the day.

Can't understand the hype.

I must have a poor sense of taste/smell because I get nothing but a bit of salt and occasionally the ghost of mild tobacco from this. After 40 minutes it becomes a mudslide. Not my jam. Easy to handbake though.

Great Start to Lössnus (Loose Snus)

I'll be honest, I was a beginner with using snus. The portion snus was easy, clean and convenient. I have had loose snus before but it was a bit too varsity for me. Then I discovered Prima Fint and I don't think I'll be going back to portions any time soon. This snus is mellow and refreshing, easy to form and satisfying. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to venture into the wonderful world of loose snus!

Yes

Snus done right. Very pure tobacco flavor. This is what I love to use everyday especially while working or whatever. My favorite out of the various snuses I have tried!

Amazing Flavor!

This with Ettan Los and Thunder Frosted Los are part of my weekend rotation. It can take a little while to grasp using los but now I'm hooked! Just an amazing flavor Prima Fint, no bergamot or Rose oil that I can taste, just a rich tobacco flavor.

If you are new to snus and curious about los make sure to buy a Mortar Syringe or Icetool, its a must... Thank me later :)

Simply Amazing...

One of my first loose snus. It's really good. Has a mild tobacco taste and is really easy to hand bake. Most certainly will be buying this one for a while.

My favorite loose Snus. Perfect body, and long lasting, minimal drip...what more can you ask for? hmm...maybe a "sterk" version? that would be it.

This is by far one of my favorite brands. The Prima Fint is very mild with a slight (not overpowering at all) sweet tobacco flavor. Flavor lasts a VERY long time. Not only that, but it's every easy to form a pris with.

Anytime I buy loose snus, I am sure to order Prima Fint. I highly recommend it, and I assure you that you will not be disappointed.
