Have you ever tried the black gold from Sweden? If so please share your experience with us in this thread. What kind of snus brands have you tried, did you like them and what kind do you prefer?
This will help us serve you better in the future. Introducing test-packages etc. So please just respond with your comments
Here, tried a good portion of them, many SM products, and V2 products. My favorite is probably Ettan loose. Other notables, offroad and thunder frosted (loose or portions) General mint, general extra sterk loose, general loose, grov black, gotlands gul (discontinued).

I am an enthusiastic snuser, my favourites are Ettan and Röda Lacket. Unfortunately I cannot legally obtain them as I live in the UK/EU.
I am not happy about this.
I didn’t enjoy most of them as much as I thought I would. I did enjoy the Ettan Loose, but the portions had to be white for me. The drip from many of the other portions I tried was just intolerable to me. I only used the loose when I was around the house so I could spit the bits and such.
I only have a deep freezer full. Layering it with Grov and Ettan, something I learned from 3 years of use. Rotation is the key, and the sooner you get around to using a straight tobacco taste, the better. Lesson learned the hard way. Best thing that ever happened was the PACT act panic, Not the PACT ACT BTW, I was able to score an obscene amount for a dollar a can from dealers getting out of the business. Ettan, Grov, General, repeat. Oh yeah, pioneer Los, that’s the ticket. Still pine for the “old” days, less than 3 dollars a can and free one day delivery from Getsnus. Sob…
Count me in the same category as Whalen, same freezer full, same two snus options - just regular portions, no more loose, no more white portions. Nothing better … this was after 2 years of trying them all, along with Claq qi, LS, Camel, you-name-it, the best is still Ettan OP … realizing the best are the most simple, straightforward tobacco flavors … lends to their elegance.
I just rotate through about 5 cans of Ettan then one can of Grov, then back to Ettan for 5 or so cans … the Grov breaks it up and keeps the Ettan tasting fresh.
Jakobssons Wintergreen, Grov Svart(black), Ettan OP, Roda Lacket, Odens Extreme are among my favourites
I had Ettan first time back in 1978! Good stuff like all Swedish tobacco except Blend cigarettes.
I used snus as a tool to quit the coffin nails. It was an absolute lifesaver at that! A total wonder it is. After the price hike, I gave it up and started doing nasal snuff and pipes full time.
My fave brands were General, Grovsnus and Ettan.
I use snus all the time, and having tried lots I now stick with General mini portions. I used it to quit cigs, and figure if I ever want to quit snus it will be easier if I’m not habituated to mega-strong portions, nice though they are–Nick and Johnny Original is very nice, very nice indeed.
Apparently I’m the odd man out. Never had swedish snus, only american, and they just leave me sad and still craving nicotine.
Then you need to at least try th Swedish stuff to unerstand the allure.
Ken
@Harlequin get a top lip packed with some Extra Strong snus and you’ll feel it! The Thunder I have in the fridge catches me out occasionally and blows my head off.
No, I understand it. I used to be a heavy dipper, so the appeal of it makes perfect sense to me. I also know that american snus just sucks.
swedish is worth it! I do enjoy a dip now and again.
Sadly, I am with bipolarbear. I can’t justify the shipping costs with the little money I have. When I did use it regularly it was always Nick&Johnny portion, General Extra Sterk, and Skruf Stark…God I miss Skruf
I miss Claq Qui, that was my absolute favorite.
I have had lots of snus before the pact act went into effect. General Ekstra Sterk, Roda Lockett, Tre Ankere, and many more. But like @bipolarbear and @josua2007, with UPS’s overseas shipping its just not worth it anymore. But that isn’t to say I won’t buy some in the future, who knows what lays ahead.
Seams to be quite a mix of your snus experience so far. As you might know snus today can be bought in several types and shapes. Loose, portion, white portion, mini, dry etc. Some with clear tobacco taste and some with no tobacco taste at all. For those of you who haven’t tried it at all I think I need to come up with some kind of way for you to try it out, stay tuned
@toffeenose - I understand your frustration but as you know we are not allowed to send to the UK even if we would love to. But we hope that things will change.
@dogwalla - May I suggest you try the mini dry portions. They are considered to be less runny and more discrete.
For those of you using snus today. Do you buy online or in stores?
I’ve tried most every snus available. I have about 20 brands in my freezer right now. Way to many to list here. I’m finding a real love for slim/long portions.
I buy online. Even counting current shipping costs it’s still cheaper, per can, than buying in a B&M store. If I catch the sales just right and limit the “premium” brands.
@SnusDirect Thanks for the tip! I’ll give those a try =D

From what I have heard it is the duty/taxes to Canada that they nail you.
Ken
If you use Northerner they only ship 3 or 4 tins per package so they usually go through customs untouched and if they do nail you for one you only pay duties for 3 or 4 tins. I got nailed once but only one of the several packages they sent me got caught and they charged 18 bucks in duties so its no bank breaker and I have ordered snus from them many many times and only got nailed for one small package.
For orders to Canada we suggest small orders. They normally slip through. And as @n9incnails you only pay cusoms for the actual order. We recommend you using Posten Letter as shipping option.
Never tried snus. Don’t see the point when I absolutely adore makla which is stronger. Am I wrong? Should I open my mind and give snus a go? Any opinions from folk who know both makla and snus. I’d love to hear a comparison.
I, too have a freezer full. My unconditional favorite would have to be Grov los. My favorite portion is anything from the Lab series. Other things I like, ettan los or portion, Gottland’s Yellow (yes, I still have some left) and green, old Skruf (I’ve heard the new one isn’t as nice). Gote Rape 1 and 2, and Prima Flint.
Obviously I know what the word rape means in english, but what is the translation of what it means in reference to snus? I had a can of the Gotesboarhaldffha;oe (spelling?) Rape that was prettry good, but when asked about what it meant, i had no way of answering people in a way that wasn’t inappropriate and smarmy.
@Dogwalla: It’s the swedish translation of rappee - “A strong snuff made from a dark, coarse tobacco. [From French (tabac) râpé, grated (tobacco), past participle of râper, to grate, from Old French rasper, to scrape”
@toffeenose Wow. I had no idea. Thanks for the explanation =D
@OscarWabbit: I’ve only tried a few brands of Makla, but to me there’s absolutely no comparison to snus. Flavor wise, they’re two completely different profiles.
The Maklas I’ve tried have that earthy, somewhat pungent taste of fermented tobacco. While I don’t mind giving them a good snort, I can’t stand them in my lip.
Loose Swedish snus is of a finer cut than Makla, but it’s much more moist. The variety of flavors available is astounding, from the plain/unflavored brands like Ettan and Prima Fint to herbal (Rapé and Röda Lacket) to the bergamot blends like General and Gustavus.
Snus and Makla are manufactured in two different ways. Makla is made more like fermented American moist snuff whereas snus undergoes steam pasteurization unique to Swedish (and a couple of American) manufacturers.
I’m not going to name company names here, but Mick and I are pretty close friends with one of the biggest tobacco exporters in the world, with operations in Africa and South America. Tobacco for snus is grown and harvested to rigid specifications, and only half of the yield meets their standards and makes it to their factory. Of the remaining 50% of the harvest, the better half goes to second-tier Swedish snus manufacturers while the bottom half goes to Makla manufacturers.
This difference is readily apparent to me. You have snus brands like Ettan which are flavored only with a little bit of salt. You’re basically tasting pure tobacco. Every brand of Makla I’ve tried, even the “plain” and “straight” varieties, have been pretty heavily flavored to get past that pungent, cheap tobacco taste.
I’m probably showing my bias here, but I think snus beats the pants off of Makla in every way. As far as nicotine hit goes, Makla is a wee bit stronger than regular strength snus, but is no where as strong as Sterk or Extra Sterk varieties.
If you like traditional, plain Makla flavors, I would recommend picking up Grov, which is flavored in much the same way, but not overpoweringly so. Other than that, my recommendation for snus newbies is to try all the old standards: Röda Lacket, Goteborg’s Rapé and Prima Fint, Ettan, and General.
Of course, I’ve been talking exclusively about lös varieties. We haven’t even got into portioned snus yet.
+1 @snuffpub… well described
… says the man that eats a pound of Ettan every day.
Do any of the snus companies ship to the UK anymore?
I don’t think so, Snuffster. That last EU raid on snus vendors pretty much scared the crap out of everybody from what I understand…
From SnusDirect.com:
“Ettan Loose offers a distinguished flavor, with hints of light smoke aroma and a characteristic fresh, unseasoned tobacco scent. Its taste is reminiscent of Belgian dark chocolate, under the lip as well as in the nose.”
Do people really sniff SNUS? Also, from a guy who has had minimal exposure to the real Swedish SNUS, why is it used in the upper lip? Other than hiding the bump, is there any advantage to the lower lip like American Dip is commonly used?
(By the way, this is a fascinating thread)
Saliva production. In the upper lip even american dip produces a minimal amount of excess saliva.
@snuffpub Great salesmanship. You’ve got me curious now. So I should try Sterk or Sterk extra, as N content is all I’m bothered about with oral tobacco. Is that loose or tea bag snus?
I’m another with a freezer stocked with snus. I buy almost exclusively online, as my local tobacconist only carries General. I didn’t start snuffing until I read about it on a snus forum. I continue to use more snus than snuff, although I enjoy both very much.
@snuffpub … General Sterk White isn’t for everyone … A man needs his Ettan!!!
All this snus talk is making me want to take a break from buying snuff for a few weeks (money’s tight right now) so I can order a few rolls of my old favorites. I am having problems with priority, snus or snuff?
@OscarWabbit: Makla is on average about 10mg/g nic content, so Sterk would be pretty close to what you’re probably used to. Extra Sterk would be a little stronger.
Sterk/Extra Sterk varieties come in both portion (teabags) and loose. (Sterk is the Swedish word for “strong”, several companies make their own brands of high-nicotine snus. Some call them Sterk, Stark or just simply Strong).
@Dogwalla: Yes, there are a few people that still sniff snus. I think all three of them are posting in this thread.
Nobody in Sweden uses snus nasally. But all the “legacy” brands of Swedish snus (anything that came before 1840) started off as nasal snuffs. The founder of Ettan, JF Ljunglöf, was horrified at the idea that anyone would use his snus in anything but the nose. (He personally carried a teaspoon with him everywhere he went to shovel Ettan up his nostrils. He purportedly used about 250 grams a day!)
By the late 1800’s, most of all the snus brands were being manufactured with more water content to suit the tastes of the people who were abandoning the “French” method of taking snuff (nasally). For example, the recipes for Ettan and Göteborg’s Prima Fint are exactly the same as they were in 1822; the only thing that is different is that the moisture content went from about 30% up to 60%. (Right now it hovers around 50%. Better packaging means they don’t have to make it as wet as they used to in fear of it drying up).
Loose snus makes excellent nasal snuff in some cases. Röda Lacket for example was a dry nasal snuff for almost 150 years before they started making it moist. (You may recognize the original dry variety by its American name: Red Seal.) Göteborg’s Rapé and Ettan are two that are really good nasally.
My method for taking snus in the nose is to let it sit uncovered on the window sill for about a week to dry. You could use it straightaway from there, but the texture is a little coarse for my liking so I run it through the grater one time. After that it’s basically the texture/moisture of Railroad Mills Maccaboy.
We usually have at least one article per issue about the early snus producers in The Snuff Taker’s Ephemeris, so if you haven’t yet bought your first copy, DO IT!!!
@Snuffster Odens snus does. I thought the northern started again as well.
Northerner ships snus to the EU. From the US warehouse. You can get a lot of brands but not nearly the selection of ordering from Swedish based shops.
@FlippinBird: Make sure your next snuff purchase is dholakia sparrow , that will mush up your brain and last you a long while so you can save up for some snus. @snuffpub: that was a highly interesting post you just made, thanks.
Also…snuff can be made into snus quite easily.
I’ve tried a couple different snus brands and haven’t found one that I like yet. The loose feels so strange in my lip and the portions just don’t seem to satisfy my nic craving.
I’ve got a bone to pick with The Snuff Taker’s Ephemeris but I guess I could make another thread about it once I have taken the pictures or I’ll just make a youtube vid about it during my next snuff review… I don’t know yet.
@joesnuffer - If you got a bone to pick with them why don’t you contact them directly? Generally that would be my first step rather than calling someone out without giving them a chance to address it…
@joesnuffer bigmick and I can be reached anytime through here or via email: R.Hubbard@STephemeris.com and M.Hellwig@STephemeris.com. If there was a problem with your order or something, we’ll be happy to take care of it. We’re pretty easy that way.
Snus is superior product to makla, but makla is more practical currently in EU at least. They are both good though and makla is very clean tobacco as UK government lab tests show. By the way, pope Leo XIII (deceased 1903) was a fan Ettan, he used it nasally. Cool pontiff!
Snus is a disgusting habit forming product, then there is the TAD problem, I wish I had been told this by the fanboys from the getgo. Then there is the deep freezer, vacuum packing, rotation, international shipping, countless hours on the Forums, Jeesh!
Ettan is worth it though!
Oh yes I have tried the “black gold from Sweden” and enjoy it very much. I’ve been using it for almost half a year and I have found that I prefer strong loose - in particular Skruf Xtra stark (now deceased), and Thunder Frosted.
As far as shipping to Canada: I have used two retailers in the past, and both would split my orders into packages of 5 and ship each a day apart. This would allow me to take advantage of ordering a roll at a time for the discounted price, and give me a fair chance against the outrageous customs duties I would have to pay.
Would your shop be able to do this? I’m sure that orders from Canada represent a very small portion of your sales, but that would put you on equal footing with the other online retailers.
@n9ninchnails: Only 1 package nailed by customs? You’re lucky - my “success rate” is only about 50%!
(post deleted by author)
@scopopulus if you order from Northerner you can order as much as you want and they will ship it to you in small packages containing 3-5 tins each so if you were to order 20 tins you would receive 4 or 5 small packages.
(post deleted by author)
I like Oden’s extreme and General extra strong protions, haven’t used loose yet.
edm
@scopopulus they do it automatically and the one small package that I got nailed for cost me 18 bucks in duties
@scopopulus: 5 tins of portions average around $25, 5 tins loose average $29 for me in the last two months (been stocking up during the cool weather).
I use General loose snus in my nose. I let it dry a day or two, so it’s not quite so moist, then use it like a rappee snuff. It’s very nice if you don’t like it in your lip, like me. I bought a bunch at the local “kum n go”(yes, it really is their name!) for $.99, it was out of date, but I put it in the freezer and its just fine. If you like dark rappee(think SG Black Rappee) snuff, its worth a go.
I used it as a teenager in Sweden in the early 80’s, Grov loose was my brand. It was my favorite form of tobacco.
I have tried and continue to use it to this day. I ordered some General Original Portions and it helped me remove a 10 year smoking habit that was 6 years ago. So glad to have snus. I only wish Health Canada would get on board with harm reduction instead of painting all tobacco products with the same brush.
Been using it for many years and will continue to use it as long as I can!
I didn’t want it to happen, but I have fallen in love with snus. I first tried snus approximately a year and a half ago. I bought about 30 totally random, all portion, all different strength snuses from Northerner. I had a great couple of months trying them all out. The problem I found was 3-fold. 1) When I snused, I lost desire to snuff, 2) it was a lot more expensive than snuff and 3) as much as I did enjoy it, I still preferred snuff. As a passionate devoted snuffer, losing the desire to snuff really bothered me and snus is so darn convenient, I came to see it as a threat to my beloved snuff. Using that reason and also higher cost, I decided snus was not for me. Then about a year later, I noticed @bob raving about loose snus which I hadn’t tried. He made the point that it was much more economical which it very much is. So I decided to give snus another try. I ordered a roll of Oden’s Extreme los, Odens Extreme Kanel 59 los, and a roll of Thunder Frosted los. Even though the Extremes were way too strong for me, it was love at first sight. At exactly the same time my local tobacconist got the Thunder Chew range in and the prismaster prilla making tool. I instantly fell in love with the Thunder Frosted Chew (wasn’t that fussed over the other two) and found the prismaster perfect for the snuses (but not needed for the Chews). I decided to keep the Extremes for occasional use (that’s recently gone out of the window) to preserve a moderate tolerance and stuck to the Thunder frosted los and chew, but by that point I was now a firm fan of loose and wanted more brands so ordered rolls of Oden’s Original los and General los. I found these much less exciting after the Thunders and Extremes, but my tolerance soon readjusted and I came to enjoy them very much, so they became my main snuses. Now I’m well and truly sucked in, but have managed to be more disciplined so as not to exclude snuff. With the weaker snuses, I can still snuff, so I do. I’ve bought a fiendish amount of bulk snuff but am worried about snusapocalypse, so I’m currently spending this month and next 3ish months stocking freezer full of all the loose snuses I want. They are: - all the odens (love this brand) - general and general extra strong - both goteborgs - skruf - ettan - thunder frosted - phantom - offroad spearmint - grovsnus - rhoda And probably few others I forget right now. Goal: 400ish cans. Yes, I am well and truly hooked on snus. Love it. Only loose though. And happy I’ve found a way to not let it interfere with my snuff use. I still go through 10-15g of snuff a day and about 5 snus prillas of varying strengths. Tolerance has gone up. Oh well. Happy days. Even more acute TAD!
Hey guys, if you havent tried it already I suggest you do. There is a snus for everyone As some of you might know snus is not allowed within the European Union so all customers have to reside outside of the EU. I have created a special promo code called “HOUSETRY” its an exclusive bonus for this forum and will give you 15% off. Valid this month only. Hope this will be of interest for some of you Johan
snusline ships to EU and I’m sure others do, Northerner for example? Just checked your website. Good prices, free shipping when buying a roll, and you recognise Switzerland is not EU. I will be buying from you.
Great just what I needed ,another tobacco addiction .Thanks snuffhouse.
Hehe, for those of you residing outside of EU and have never tried snus. Send me a PM and I will try to send you some samples to try.
Great just what I needed ,another tobacco addiction .Thanks snuffhouse.
You won’t regret it. I love snus very nearly as much as snuff.
I have indeed, actually started being a regular snus-user before I got into snuff. I use snus at work because it’s discrete but I really prefer snuff, it’s rare that I reach into my snus-tin at home.
Hehe, for those of you residing outside of EU and have never tried snus. Send me a PM and I will try to send you some samples to try.
One question though @SnusDirect. Swiss customs seem very adept at catching tobacco products sent in cardboard boxes, but pretty useless when sent in padded envelopes and import duty here is ridiculously expensive. If just prior to ordering, I use the Contact Us page and request padded envelope instead of box, can you accommodate this? If not, this is a deal breaker for me.
@SnusDirect — did I miss a post on where you ship to? I am under the impression you do not ship to US — is this correct?
Don’t some companies sneak around the EU snus ban by sending snus to EU countries from an American warehouse?
US warehouse has been closed, the company you are thinking of has moved all operations back to Sweden. Better, speedier service since the change … still not good service, they mucked up an order and of course, I just received a UPS bill for duties. Other established estores pay the duties for you(or, are built into their price point)
No v2 snus ='( I love thunder but the shipping on other sites is killing me. I’m really bummed it’s not available on here.
@SnuffySnuff for small orders, up to a roll, we normally send in flat packs (envelopes). All snus however is marked with its true content which is “Swedish snus for personal use” @snuffbrant we do ship to the US on a daily basis. We pay for duties and taxes. Upon delivery the driver will ask for an adult signature as well. @Dogwalla sorry no V2 tobacco yet. Hopefully you will find something good. PM me when placing your order and I will add a couple of extra cans of different kind to try. Btw are you guys loose or portion? I guess portion http://www.snusdirect.com/articles/opinion-loose-or-portion-snus
Thanks @snusdirect. Just tried to order. Credit card hasnt yet book latest deposit so will order tomorrow hopefully. I see you actually do charge shipping, which wasn’t clear at first. Oh well, I can dream. Will still order from you.
@snusdirect Btw are you guys loose or portion? I guess portion http://www.snusdirect.com/articles/opinion-loose-or-portion-snus Strictly loose. Would be nice to see more brands available.
thanks @SnusDirect … will check it out
Awesome prices, but the damn shipping just kills it. Not that the shipping is higher than anybody else, it just kills me. $37 in SNUS and $30 in shipping. That makes the $5/can for General I can get locally seem cheap…and it’s not. Fault? PACT act. It’s so damn aggravating to me.
Yup. Totally agree @dogwalla. I’ve contacted free shipping snusline to ask if they can expand their loose range (being a strictly loose fan) so I can order more from them. Hope they do. The shipping for snus is a real killer.
Why did I not know about this place? I’ve been getting raped for ages! They carry Thunder loose too. @SnuffySnuff you’re my hero of the month.
@Dogwalla the Pact Act have made things more expensive in terms of shipping. Now we can only use courier and we are required to pay all the dutys and taxes. Also the courier must obtain an adult signature on all deliveries. As a result shipping cost gets higher. However if you were to order more then just a roll or two the shipping cost per can its reduced alot. Shipping is calculated in 0.5 kg brackets so its always more economic to order 0,95 kg instead of 0,6 kg etc. Hope this helps
@Dogwalla snusline don’t ship to the US (yet!).
I need suggestions for my first snus order. Ive never ventured into snus. Ive been using snuff and smoking pipes, cigars, and cigarettes for over 15 years. Although I no longer smoke cigarettes and only cigars occasionally. I used to dip so I know it is a stronger nic hit than all of the above. What are the best flavored, and best strong (stark) snus around in your opinion? suggestions please. Also would anyone be interested in trading me some snus for snuff?
@like_a_ninja General Extra Strong, General Strong White, General Extra Strong Long, Skruf Stark, Skruf Extra Stark, Oden’s Extreme, Oden’s Extra Stark, Lab Series 02, 06, 07, Any Nick & Johnny, Grov Stark and Jakobssons Classic Strong off the top of my head are all good. Do try Ettan and Grov (non stark) Roda Lacket and any of the Olde Ving line and General original or white portions or goteborgs rape. I would recommend Lucky Strike but if you;re in the US you won’t be able to get hold of it.
@Skell18 Yeah, im in the US. I wish we could go to the store and buy the stuff here. all we have easy access to is cigarettes and dipping tobacco. If we want snus or snuff we have to order it out of country what sense does that make? I guess that has been pondered quite a bit and I am not the first. Damn greedy government. Thanks for the suggestions those are some that I have been looking at, Ill definitely be trying a few of them out soon.
@like_a_ninja you can buy swedish snus in the US, General is widely available from what I know, Speedway gas statons, 7-11s and lots of indy tobacconists sell it just have a look around.
If you can navigate the General website there is a store locator. Hopefully there is something close to you. I can get portion General locally but no loose. Gotta do mail order for that here.
There are no Speedways or 7-11’s in Tennessee. Mapcos, Daily’s, and QuickMarts are pretty much it. There is only 1 tobacconist within 200 miles. They sell a very small selection of Wilsons and Silver Dollar, and they used to have Snus but they said it doesnt sell. If you want cigars, dip, or chew this is the place to be.
@like_a_ninja Skell18’s suggestions are all excellent. If you order online, those are good starters. Be careful, the starks are stronger nic than dip, but really good. The locator can be found here: http://www.generalsnus.com If you register they will send you coupons periodically. @willc If your guy can get portion he can get loose. All you have to do is get him to order it (sometimes tricky). My local guy carries it for me. It might not even be too far for you to drive if you have time Rt 202 north of Wilmington. https://plus.google.com/118419492852987378530/about?gl=us&hl=en Wait a few days, since I was there Monday and he was out of everything except nasty mint and wintergreen. Supposedly its enroute. Call if you don’t want to waste a trip
I miss Claq Qui, that was my absolute favorite.
Back then, I had a few logs (of Claq Qui) in my freezer. By the time I went to reorder, I got a nasty surprise … I almost cried that day… I WANT MY CLAQ QUI BACK!!!
General Loose for loose snus and 02 for portions… depending on the company…
PM rickcharles606 here. He can tell you if there is a shop near you that carries the snus he handles. Oden’s, Thunder, some Offroad and Jakobssons. They stock a lot of tobacco, ie. cig shops. Little Brown sells a few varieties, they should ship to Tenn.
I have to say thunder is my snus of choice. Jakobssons would be up there if they did los.
The pouches don’t faze me. I like the loose snus for the tobacco. I end up eating all the snus. :-&
love snus. skruf is my snus of choice, lovely comfortable bags, great nicotine from the stronger ranges, and i love the flavour. the tub looks good too, which i dare say helps a little. its also a better tub than my previous regular, odens, because the hinge on odens makes a hole in the lid i think.
Hey guys, for those of you who havent ordered and for those who thinking about ordering. I created the code “SNUFFHOUSE” at SnusDirect.com it will give you all a nice 15% discount. Valid for two weeks as of now Enjoy! Johan
@SnusDirect so much for the samples you said you send back in July ?. I have plenty now ,I’ll pass
Just placed my first order for snus today ordered some loose and some pouches . I have always enjoyed dip and chew and love the taste of tobacco so I thought I would try snus . One question actually is it ok to bottom rail snus because I enjoy spitting or will this not produce juice ?
not sure as im out and cant afford more, but itll be worth a shot to try it, and let me know wether you need to spit it or not! i only ever used it top deck, albeit sometimes both sides when i wanted extra kick.
Ok man if you want when I get mine can send you some bits of what I get so yu can actually try for yourself if you want ?
@firestarter0 let me know fella and pm me ya address and when it comes through I will send it to ya or if u rather I will message ya and get your address after they arrive up to you mate
dude its fine haha, i know snus, i was a heavy ish snuser till i ran out of cash. i was just saying i cant find out about juice when its in the bottom deck because i have none, dont worry.
Fair enough dude gonna try it I don’t see y it would not work because it is moist as hell but will find out . By the way is it anything like american dip at all I’m hoping its like dip but without some of the sugar and less smokey I’m really intreaged actually because I have only ever had dip and chew and I love them so I’m expecting to like snus . One last question does it burn like dip because I do like the burn from dip let’s your know your getting your fix lol ?
what snus did you get? i get no burn, but that could be because i was never without a portion in haha, so i got used to it. the only one i really remember consistent burn from was odens cold. i havent used dip, i used snus and snuff as my regular partially based on the relative safety compared to dip and smoking haha. however from what ive seen/heard the snus (loose) is like dip but finer ground.
I use a lot more snus now than snuff but I stick to the 8mg standard strength stuff mostly. This keeps my tolerance low enough that when I use snuff - mostly when reading in the evenings to improve concentration, I still get a nice snuff buzz and improved focus. If I use strong snus regularly, the snuff buzz is ruined. I like using snuff to read or anything that requires focus or in the mornings to wake me up. Snus is so god damn convenient so i generally use that during the day. I only use loose snus.
Jeeze I wish my tolarance was low lol I’m a nic monster I need strong nic hits that’s why I love dip and to be honest I’m more worried about my lungs because you can’t see the damage your doing to them whereas with your mouth you have more visual signs earlier and plus on top of that I really fucking like dipping to lol never have I enjoyed tobacco more than my first dip of copenhagen snuff lol That how I legitimise tobacco use lmao
well if you dont like the snus you know who to message about it haha
yes no worries if I don’t like it I will pass it on to whoever wants it but I have a feeling there won’t be any left for anyone else lol
I have tried General, Nick and Johnny, Oden’s, and Thunder. I think Oden’s and Nick & Johnny were my favorites.
