@Aamon Most snus is flavored in one way or another. Most are salt a main ingredient and vary’s .More common bergamot.
Regular portion snus in a tea bag type pouch is around 7mg/g nicotine strong start around 10mg/g extra strong up to 17mg/g above that is ultra strong and extreme.
Snus gets pricey by the can and to be thrifty, you will want to buy several rolls at a time and store them in the fridge or freeze them.
A good way to get a variety to try is Bag O Snus at http://www.snuscentral.com/39-try-out-boxes-snus-samplers.
Mini portions are half the size of regular but still deliver the same mg/g they won’t last as long since the weight is less.
Loose snus is just that loose tobacco. You form a pris either by hand baking or use of a syringe type tool. Some just use a farmers pinch others will just roll a small ball. You get more tobacco with loose and can adjust the size to your need. I find the loose has a faster up take of nicotine and a better taste , it is just messy to expel when finished.
Words like cool ,frosted, ice usually are mint of some variety. It really depends on what you like and since you haven’t smoked in some time the flavors should be easy to distinguish.
https://www.snusline.com/ if you just want one can they offer free shipping . Another online shop I have used is http://www.snus24.com. Some of these stores have weekly and monthly specials where you can get discounted ,extras or bonus deals… Since everyone’s taste is different I will leave the choosing up to you.
I will mention this now. Some snus come to the market and are excellent and then they are gone and rarely return. So if you happen to find a favorite buy as many as you can get your mitts on.
Enjoy the Journey, You at the top of the hill now. I warn you it a slippery slope. Snus is a gate way tobacco ,Yes it leads to more Snus. And more S.A.D. Snus acquisition disorder. :D
