“Does anyone know of a good strong licorice flavored snus?” - I think the best of the strong anise flavored portion snus is Romeo y Julieta… and that by a long shot. It’s cuban tobacco snus, and the two most well-known Swedish retailers won’t ship to the USA, but there are other very reliable sellers who will. In the interests of keeping these channels open, I don’t think it’s a good idea to state publicly who they are. It’s easy enough to find out if one’s resourceful.
ld los is awesome have a freezer full now it’s wonderfull
I orederd some ettan , general and montecristo portion and a box of oliver twist original i have never used oral tobacco but i am trying to quit cigarretes and i think that snus will help !!! ( i have a little fear about mouth diseases but i will try anyway)
Thanks i ordered portion ones because i think that will be easier to use but if i like i will order some loose too!!
Everybody else’s recommendations look great to me but the one that I haven’t seen that you should try is Roda Lacket. It’s a sweeter style of REAL swedish snus and I think you’ll like it.
Yeah, Phantom is awful. Most Offroad flavors are alright, but they tend to have a lot more flavoring and sweetness to them. Don’t try Elixyr either. It’s hideous.
I’ve got a Nick & Johnny portion in my lip right now. It’s got a nice peppery burn, much like General Sterk. I’ve also still got a can of Ettan in my freezer that I haven’t opened up yet until I finish up the can of Granit that I’m working on. I like to rotate around to different brands depending on the time of day and the amount of nicotine in them. Pretty much any Strong portion is a good “wake me up” and later at night I’ll use only normal portions or some Goteborgs Rape loose.
its looks like many people here make snus !!
Roda Lacket Los and General Los here available!And Cathc Dry Portions here(Catch is baaad). I like the Los veeery much!
I use snus mostly but I love a good snuff several times a day also. My go to snus is the dreaded Offroad coffe/vanilla, which everyone says tastes crappy. Just another testament to the large variety of indiviual tastes we all have. A side note; I could never have given up the cigs without snus. Snuff helps but the nic hit doesn’t last long enough to curb my nic cravings for a cig. So its the snus man its the snus. But snuff gives me a great flavor blast. but I’d really love a Kool non-filtered, I know I can’t even have one or I’m back to the cigs again. oh well…SnusOn…oh and…SnuffOn!!!
my local speedway has camel snus COMING SOON… anyway wondering if its even worth a try i’ve heard bad things about it should i pick some up when it comes or is it a complete waste of my hard earned money.
Might as well try it. Just realize that you have NO idea what they put in it. Swedish snus always has an ingredient list. Anything American having to do with tobacco scares me now that I know how friggin evil the American tobacco companies are.
I ordered from getsnus the other day and my mystery can was nick and johnny west. i was expecting something cheaper.
Yeah, I got a mystery can of Ettan with my last order. Good stuff.
thanks for the input guys and i have only a couple of remaining questions; i understand that you can swallow the juice from snus and your supposed to place it in the upper lip, is this correct?
Yep on both counts Johndeere89, although lower-lipping is not altogether uncommon either. It just produces more juice than many care to deal with.
The thing about snus is that the “juice” isn’t anything like dip juice which will make you turn 10 shades of green if you swallow it. Snus juice is essentially just flavored water and your own saliva. Once you swallow it a few times, it won’t bother you and you may actually like it. And as long as you don’t move it around or anything, it won’t drip much anyways.
Yes, it does have to do with the location in your mouth, but I promise you that you salivate no matter where it goes in your mouth, just less so in the front of your upper lip. I’ve lower lipped it as well, and again, the juice is fine to swallow. Try it with both snus and dip and see what happens. Any other snuser on here should be able to verify what I’m saying. There’s a HUGE difference between the juices produced from fire-cured, fermented dip and steam cured snus. I haven’t been “untruthful” about anything.
I agree, lower-decking produces prodigious amounts of saliva and while not altogether uncommon, not very popular either. I oftentimes lower-deck portions just get the juices flowing and then move it around to control the juice. I personally am not a fan of lower-decking Los, just too much to swallow, at least for me. While the difference between snus-juice and Cope is pretty big, I wouldn’t want to swallow mouthfuls of either! Upper decking is the only way to go with Los for me.
I think the main difference is, if you swallow snus juice, it “might” burn a little and give you heartburn. If you swallow juice from Cope (which I have on accident) it takes a cast iron stomach to not cough and wheeze and nearly puke. As a matter of fact, I’ve accidentally swallowed small amounts of Goteborgs Rape (NOT just the juice) and it really had hardly no effect besides making me a little gassy for the rest of the day. Try swallowing a small chunk of Cope. It’s extremely unpleasant. Like I’ve been saying, there’s a massive difference between the two. No, it probably wouldn’t be that pleasant to drain the juice out of snus and then drink it, but you wouldn’t nearly die either. Fire curing dip brings out all the same toxic chemicals as cigarettes have in them, although not to quite the same extent. The process of making snus, prevents it from becoming anywhere close to being as toxic, and as a matter of fact is over 50% water. Dip juice is pretty much all fermented, fire cured tobacco juice. So when I say snus juice is mostly water, it’s a fact.
