Hi I bought this product from my local tobacconist as a snus product. I tasted it, it’s horrible. However, I see Mr Snuff sells this product as a snuff so I’m confused. I scraped some off and mixed it with DW and it works pretty well then as a snuff. Without mixing it’s too thick and sticky to be sniffed. So my question is, is it a snuff or snus and also, are there any snus’s that actually taste nice? Thanks
It’s neither. Makla is makla. Some people use it like snus, although I’m not sure this is the traditional way it’s used by North Africans. It’s like asking if General is snuff or dip. It’s neither, it’s snus. Also, it would help to know which snus you’ve tried in the past to make recommendations for something you might like in the future. If you’re outside the US, Lucky Strike OP is pretty good, as are Romeo y Julieta if you’re into liquorice/anise flavours. I personally mostly use Ettans lös, Landströms and Gellivare. Also, snus tends to have an acclimation period of about two weeks of steady use before you can really notice the tastes of any of them. Don’t write them off as bad unless you’ve already been doing this, and if you’re not willing to, maybe snus isn’t for you.
http://www.northerner.com/index.php http://www.snuson.com/forum/forum.php Look over those sites Wabbit shikitohno has several blogs that are very informative, and both sites will give a kit of info on snus. http://www.northerner.com/index.php this site will give you all the info about what each one taste like, Enjoy I had no acclimation period. I started with Ettan love it from the first try. I have tried several and have not found I dislike. I don’t like us snus (camel, Marlboro) but they will get you by until you can get the real thing.
Yeah, makla is oral tobacco type on its own. Of northern Africa it’s been around francophone Europe for a long time and lately made inroads to larger audience: racedriver Kimi Raikkonen was snapped with Makla Ifrikia tin!
General Ekstra Sterk is snus perfected IMO. It’s all I use now.
Of snus, I recommend The Original Six; Ettan, General, Grov, Goteborgs Rape, Roda Lacket and Goteborgs Prima Fint. They are all good and come in different portions and/or strenghts beside loose version, except Prima Fint, which never went gay. Of the never snus’s, Lucky Strike is there as fave of mine and many others. I’d be wary of sterks to start with unless you’re total nicotine freak.
Thankyou guys for the feedback and advice. Very helpful, much obliged.
