Skruf’s fire cured. 
Oh yes, welcome to the forum! Spit’s mostly water too. edit: Great link bigblue, quite a difference from just 10 years ago.
I threw a snus portion in my almost empty coffee cup once. Was at a meeting doing drink recipe tasting. When I sipped it back in my mouth I got one hella juicy dip tea bag prilla. Mostly water though. I just took it like the man that I am. I was sick for a couple of minutes. Went back to passing around the snuff mix. I think snuff is better suited for drinking with, due to the leach factor. So much for my snus tea idea. I don’t think I’ll try it. But I wouldn’t mind a coffee enema.
Ive not read through all of these posts so this might have been answered, but how close is snus to dip? I use cope, grizzly and also redman as the odd break from snuffing. I also gut the juice as Im a nicotine junky.
Yeah, switching sides of the mouth does help my gums a whole lot. When I first started snusing, it bugged the hell out of me, but once you get used to it and learn not to keep it in the same spot everytime, it’s not so bad.
thanks for clearing that up folks.
prima fint is one of my favorite.
Camel and Marlboro snus is just too expensive for me, so I’ll take the real thing any day. With good snus shops around like Getsnus.com that are based in the US, and they don’t charge for shipping over $50, it’s too good of a deal to waste money on subpar junk.
Yeah, I know. Getsnus.com has to put warning labels on every can of snus they sell. I pull them off out of spite.
I bought some snus today: General White Portion Mini 10gram. Good or bad? I like the taste, it’s like real tobacco. The Stuyvesant which my wife bought is to sweet (coffee flavour)
Pieter, General is good, white is easy on the gums, but the mini portions barely have any kind of nicotine. If you like the flavor, buy the fullsize next time.
While the size of the mini’s are quite discreet the cost is almost twice as much per weight than regular sized portions.
I found proper snus locally today too. It was also General White (but regular size). They only carried General at this shop, and no snuff. As I’ve been itching for snus for over a day (not counting my mistaken experiment with Camel) I greedily popped it in. On the way home I read the label (best before 04 21 2009). Oh well. It hasn’t gone bad. I was probably one of the first people to buy one from this shop. I think the owner was thrilled to sell it. I pressed him for snuff as I was checking out too, and even offered him a pinch of my vintage Levi Garrett from my Patrick Collins Padauk Snuffbox. I know all of you guys would have been honored to get such a treat, but for some strange reason this guy refused. “I only smoke cigars” he said in a moderate Eastern European accent. So I took a pinch myself to show him, and off I went. @ Juxtasposer: I agree with you on the price of minis, especially if I use two at a time, and they don’t last nearly as long; but they fit so nicely in place, I can use them almost all the time. I don’t know if I’m odd, but I like the Northerner/Oomph/Wise minis, especially the plain one (I think its called Food&Wine Gourmet). Also for someone who does not generally like sweet snus, I really enjoyed the little samples of General Mini Mint that Swedish Match sent out. Flavors are occasional though. The best snus for me is the one that I can’t tell its there.
@ Pieter: that Stuyvesant you mention sounds a lot like the Camel Mellow I had yesterday. Truly horrible. I could not get past the first portion, let alone finish the tin. I cannot fathom why they would invest so much in marketing such a terrible product. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. So, since you are not my enemy, would you like the rest of the tin?
>> While the size of the mini’s are quite discreet the cost is almost twice as much per weight than regular sized portions. And four times per weight as Loose. But that takes some getting used to , especially if you plan on going outside.
xander, you aren’t alone. I like 6mg Wise/Oomph mini’s. Citrus and Honey and Northerner Energy. My wife loves both as well. I find they are perfect for those occasions requiring maximum discreetness. Like church or a job interview. Plus Northerner had a deal on the “easter” version. $1.87 a can. I stocked up. Being dry they keep almost forever.
i have a portion of Northerner Energy under my lip right now.
I would love to try the bigger portions but the only tobacconist in town only stock the small ones. I went to bed last night with a snussie in my lip!! I might be into something new. I like the real tobacco flavour in my mouth.
Don’t you think you might choke on it in your sleep?
Tom, I never gave that a thought! But I did take it out before I fell asleep.
