So I have just been spitting with it, which is fine for now. I will be able to get through the 10 cans and use it to replace the dip completely. But it is not very satisfying.

They did give me 5 mystery cans, which was pretty cool of them. So hopefully I will like some of those and I will not need to spit with them. I noticed, too late unfortunately, that they have a deal where you get 10 random cans to try for pretty cheap. I think that I will do that until I find a brand that I like.

definitely weird having it in your top lip. Burns a little, is that normal?
22 mg is too strong, imo, and prob adds to the burn. I'll suggest once again the General Extra Sterk. The flavor is basic tobacco, I find that it is drier than others I've tried (Onyx and Grov mostly) and don't have to spit. I shift the pouch around my mouth which cuts down on the burn and I notice that after an hour or so the burn is greatly lessened.

Does snus need to be refrigerated at all times or just after a can is opened?

It should be refrigerated although I freeze much of mine.

i finally found a local(ish) supplier of loose snus and am officially in heaven.


the portions are fine but not nearly as tasty and satisfying as baking, icetooling, or hillbilly pinching a bit of loose... i pretty much have one in all day

Can you post links to what these things are? Before Arizona made it illegal to buy tobacco products online I bought a huge amount of portions (General) that lasted for over a year and a half in the freezer but I'm about to run out so I have to buy more. There is a place nearby but I would consider loose if I knew how to use it properly.

If you cant buy it you should consider making your own snus. Its really simple and alot cheaper.

It helped me quit for a long time but I recently started smoking a half pack/day bec I figure that that's better than me taking extra Xanax to deal w/ the stress.

Plus I'm old and am going to die soon anyway and am depressed and don't want to hang myself by a belt in my closet.

Yeah, when I could no longer buy it from Northerner I called a local place and the woman sounded as happy as can be w/ her 'we'll have all the brands that you're used to…………' and then I found out how much extra it is going to cost.

Wow thats cheap. Here in the land of snus i buy my snus for around 7-8$ a can depending on brand.

Can make my own for like a 1/3 of that price though.

I found with hand bake I went through a lot more, and it got on my teeth. Deal breaker.

Before I said **** tobacco anyway, I vape now.

i was vaping with a nice Itaste VTR and some yummy juices in my protank before i just decided that snusing was a million times better. Certainly you get a mudslide or two with loose snus but with practice that happens less and less. ecigs are great but i just don't feel like vaping my favorite watermelon chill when i could shape up a prilla of general loose or prima fint etc

to each their own i guess
