Hey people! Been a bit since I’ve posted but, It’s pruning time in the vineyard now. I’ve been reading a bit about SNUS and I am curious. Having never tried SNUS, and only once with Dip, I ask for suggestions. I very much enjoy SP’s for snuff, and VA/PARS for pipe tobacco. A buddy of mine Used to Dip " Green Apple Skoal". I tried it once and almost gave up tobacco all together! Please nothing like that. Thanks. nightcap.
bergamot and citrus are one of the most common snus flavours actualy especialy in the los.
Well I think anyone trying it for the first time should try General - I think its one of the most popular brands. I like it a lot myself, both in the loose and portion types. I think you will get a lot of people recommending Ettan as well. There really is a lot of variety in the taste among different brands though most all with have a salty and lemony taste. I think Ettan, General, and Loda Racket would give a good taste variety to a new user.
Does anyone recommend a reputable SNUS web site for over seas order?
The Northerner is good. northerner.com i think is the website. Also buysnus.com
northerner is my favorite and they sell snuff too so I’ll use it for when I want an extra tin or two.
I’m relativey new to snus. My first was a free can provided by getsnus.com. It was General white portion. Since then I have used Northerner also. I got the starter box with 10 different kinds and a Mocca Pomegranate one for my wife. The hardest thing to do is force myself not to use the stuff constantly. I’d really prefer to snuff, but I find snus is extremely addictive, and Its so easy to do! I suppose the good side is I hardly smoke at all anymore.
Xander, where did you get the starter pack and do you know if they ship to the UK?
General and Grov are both easy going & very palatable for a first timer.
Hi Nightcap. Not sure if buysnus.com was mentioned yet. You can’t go wrong with them or northerner/swedish-snus. I’ve only ordered once from getsnus.com and have no complaints there either. Check out my other favorite forum at snuson.com, you’ll find tons of great info as well as great people. 
Beware though, after visiting that site and reading all the opinions of different snus, you may end up ordering one of each! lol.
@snuffster: Northerner.com has 3 different starter packs. They have quite a lot of variety too, and also carry a large range of snuff (they also carry F&T ad ridiculously low prices, must be a misprint havne’t ordered any to test). Yes they ship to the UK. @ Troutstroker :OT, been meaning to tell you I tried the new Torpedo IPA from your neighbors at Sierra Nevada. Pretty tasty!
ok now that I look at Swedish-Snus.com I see it is a mirror site of Norherner. I clicked your link there and it recognized my Northerner account.
Yep, Northerner & Swedish-Snus are nearly identical except for the additional food, etc that Northerner has. I ordered from swedish-snus, and actually got a package labeled Northerner. As for a 1st pick, General white is a perfect pick, especially for an SP lover. It’s pretty much the snus equivalent of an SP snuff. Skruf is great too, and for a low priced one, Knox and Granit are also pretty great.
I love Grov black. Just not for a new snusser. Ettan, Grov, General are my go to first timer suggestions.
@ Bigblue1: really? It says the tins are 40 grams. Everyone else has 25g. And the price is about half. Overall its like 4 times cheaper since you get twice as much and pay half as much. I can finish off my F&T collection in one easy go! Oh, shh! Better not let this news get out, or everyone will buy it up on me. Then Northerner will raise their prices once they realize! Ignore what I just wrote everybody. Nothing to see here.
Oh, too keep on topic. The starter kit includes the big names (General, Ettan, and Göteborg) as well as a bunch of minis. I like all of those big three, but I’m leaning slighty more to Ettan. I should be partial to Göteborg, as we are sister cities with them.
ok, then the quantity must be a misprint. Take a look at some of the traditional snuff merchants that we all go to. They label (when they bother to) F&T as 25g. My only F&T tin here has no measurment on it but does say “medium size” on the side.
Since you bring that up, I seem to recall a past post on this forum, it might have been from bakdor when he first opened his shop. He actually emptied one of each and weighed them. I think they varied from 18-32g per tube. I have Princes Special here which is a pretty course beast. I would think that the HDT would pack a lot more into the same tube. Having said that, I guess the average is 25, which is probably what the distrubtor has them as, and such the web stores print that. So it begs the question, why does Northerner have them marked at 40g? I know some people get the large tubes. I don’t know who sells them though off the top of my head.
Xander, Sierra Nevada makes some seriously good beer. The Pale Ale is one of my favorite everyday beers.
I totally agree with you on Pale Ale. Its been a long time favorite. Torpedo just came out and my liquor store man told me he just got it in and can barely keep it on the shelves. He asked me if it had been written up some where. I told him no, my wife had grabbed it simply becuase it was new. Just wondered if you had tried it yet. I imagine you go around their brewery from time to time. You up late or up early? yeesh!
