A viewer of our YouTube channel suggested this forum, so I thought I’d join up and pop in and say hello. I’m primarily a Swedish Snus user though I do dabble in nasal snuff from time to time.
Looking forward to interacting with you all here and discussing snus!
i do love your written reviews, never thought to look on youtube though! might not actually, it’ll make me want snus i cant get in the uk even more haha. good to see you here! im primarily a snus user now too.
Welcome Chad, May you pipe always be lite, your lip be full, your nose never be in need, your cigars never unfurl, but remember nicotine is bad for ya!
I’m just wondering if anyone can tell me how long it takes before you taste anything other than salt. Every snus I’ve used to date, I’ve tasted nothing but salt. I’m told this’ll change, but if not I’m going to have to pass on continued snus use.
give it a couple of weeks and you will get past the salt shock. From that point on you will begin to notice more and more of the subtleties of each brand. If you were/are a cigarette smoker it will take a little longer for your taste buds to adjust. Be patient, it will sort itself out in the end
@Snifs Thanks for the info. As with my snuff use, I figured that the period of overlap with cigarettes was likely the issue. I’m now enjoying my snuff more, so hopefully my snus enjoyment will soon follow.
It took me about a month before I stopped noticing the salt. It’s an adjustment, but it’s a worthy one. instead of American tobacco dumbing down their sub quality flavors with sugar, Swedish Snus uses salt to accentuate their quality flavors
It’s funny. For me the saltiness was not very noticeable at first, but after a week of regular usage it’s all I can taste. I’m expecting that to go away in time, but the delayed reaction seems different than most people’s experience. Only goes to show you can always find something new to screw up! Haha!
I’m enjoying snus more, but I think part of my issue now is finding the right flavors to suit my tastes. So far, I’m liking General Onyx, G3 Extra Strong, and Ettan Vit. I’m absolutely hating Oden’s Vanilla at this point, and General Wintergreen tore my gums up so bad I contacted the company. Still so many to try, and knowing that most won’t work for me has me chain watching Chad’s videos in hopes of minimizing the cost of my disappointment. Thanks for the assist Chad!
