Alright, well, I have just received my free sample from getsnus.com. A white portion tin of wintergreen General. Previous to trying this, I had bought a tin of Camel Frost snus. I hear everyone saying how Camel can’t make snus, and how authentic Swedish snus is much better, but I cannot contest to that. In all honesty, I see no difference in quality, general taste, or portion of nicotine in either the Swedish snus or Camel (which is actually made IN Sweden). Here is my question. Is General Swedish snus an inferior brand? Perhaps this is why I cannot tell the difference? As I have no other Swedish snus to compare it to, I would have to say that Camel owns up to the snus ‘name’. But I dare not make such a statement, as I am rather inexperienced in such a field. Can anyone shed some light on this topic? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the time. ~Snuffy
That was quite informational. Thanks for all the help. I am really enjoying the snus that I have tried, and plan on trying many more varieties. I’ll definitely look into the ones you have suggested. Thanks again! ~Snuffy
I guess it depends how you look at it, especially as your main source of nicotine. With Camel, you get 16 servings per package and each serving gives you 6mg of nicotine, so per package you get 96mg of nicotine for about $4.50. General gives you 24, 1g servings at 8mg per serving making for a total of 192mg of nicotine per package for about $3.50. So with General you get roughly twice the nicotine per package as Camel for LESS money! Quite a bit less per mg of nicotine giving you many more servings per container. Thats 192mg with General vs 96mg with Camel, for a buck less! I’ve never had General Wintergreen and stick with more traditional Swedish choices so I can’t comment on the Wintergreen flavor either. Taste and flavor can’t be argued, if you like Camels, great! They’re available in the US. They are just twice as expensive and each serving contains substantially less nicotine than real Swedish Snus. I’m confident that if you try the more traditional Swedish flavors, and not Sweden’s slant on American tastes, you’d like them significantly better, and again…it’s cheaper! I didn’t even mention the artificial sweeteners in Camel, but I gotta run right now.
lxskllr - I’d like to hear your recommendations for non-swedish match snus that is better. I really like Goteborgs Rape and Ettan and I’d love to try better.
#1 Etan Los #2 Skruff Stark. That’s all I use- tried many types, but these are my fav’s. Montecristo LOS is damn good, too- but more money for less SNUS, so I don’t buy it often.
What is the deference between the american and swedish dip. Is the swedish finer or what? I never knew that snus came in so many deferent kinds. I must try some.
To toss my 2 cents in here as a longtime Copenhagen addict, many, and almost all the dippers I know regard the sweet, candy type dips as beginner or garbage dip. I don’t agree that on the whole ‘American dips’ are sweet. Copenhagen and Redman are representative of good quality American dips and could hardly be called sweet. There are others that are tobacco flavored too but these are the two I use/used. ymmv Snus’ main attraction for me is twofold; no spitting required and snus is much gentler on the teeth and gums. I gravitate towards the tobacco flavored snus just as I did toward the tobacco flavored American dips. Los snus or loose snus, is quite finely ground, Copenhagen and Redman FC are pretty fine, granular cuts too but not quite as fine.
I Love Snus !
Thanks for the info I’m going to order some this weekend.
Yep, snus is awesome Jarhog, I bet you’ll like it. Nothing like riding a gentle wave of nicotine for up to 2 hours straight. Snus also goes amazingly well with snuff, like a match made in Heaven!
Hello. What are everyones thoughts about my adding snus to NicotineRush.com? Opinions appreciated. Manufacturers and their web sites needed as well. Thanks, Tom NicotineRush.com
If you can send fresh cold snus from the US at US rates, that would be freaking fantastic!
I’m only one person, but if you added snus to your menu, I would definately add at least a can or 2 to every snuff order I placed. And depending on the variety you could supply, I could see myself placing some decent sized snus orders…
Yea, Tom. Like badbusinessman said. Sending it from the US at US rates would be amazing. Overseas shipping is less convenient, so getting it from the states is a big plus. And, like Poo-Diddy, I would definitely be ordering snus everytime I order snuff. Perhaps even moreso, as a tin of snuff lasts me much longer than a tin of snus. If you are going to venture into snus, you will definitely have my business. =] ~Snuffy
Yep, you’d have to keep trading in any unsold for fresh as it dated for expiration. As lxsk llr say’s, you won’t be wanting for competition, but if you can make it work, you’ll have another customer here too. 
I sent Swedish Match a request, but they have not responded. It’s like pulling teeth with some of these manufacturers. I swear some of them act like they could care less whether they sell anything or not. Tom NicotineRush.com
Yeah you should plan of keeping it refrigerated if you carry it to ensure freshness.
thanks for the info about the free can of snus (well, $1 isn’t bad). I use snus occasionally in class at school. It took a while for me to get used to the lemon salty taste but now I rather enjoy it. I bought a sample pack of portion snus from the northerner a while back. Total shipped cost was less than $30 for 8 cans. Cheaper than buying individually and they gave a pretty decent selction as well as a nice booklet on the history of snus and the various types. Only thing is you have to choose between loose or portion whereas I would have liked to try a bit of each initially.
Thanks for the heads up on the $1 can for getsnus. I got the general loose. I like the loose better than the portion. They shipped it pretty fast too.
Gotlunds Grey Los is great, this is one of my favorites in flavored snus. If you like portions LD’s a nice one if a bit candylike, and Romeo y Julietta is a more refined “grown-up” style of snus, I like em all, depending on my mood. I never had Offroad but imagine it would be candylike too, I do like their Wintergreen and especially their Cranberry Lös.
