Heh heh, 4 regulars and few others sounds like a well rounded "routine" stubby

I think routine, I think how I vape. Coffee, chocolate or unflavored. Done. Now that by gawd is "routine"

I am also mixing mine up a little...I have been alternating my Odens with Discreet, Mocca Pomegranate, General Mini Mints, and Oomph Wine and Dine- been in snus heaven!

I'm still mostly using different types of uhm.. your general general
(original portion, original mini portion, general white, general mini white)

I actually used up a whole can of general loose (made it a point to use it up once I had it out because it wasn't young when I got it plus they come in those cardboard type cans -- I made homemade portions with it using an adapted homemade syringe icetool and cut up standard paper teabags). Kinda nice to get back to the convenience of just popping pre-made portions in


surprised how fast now I seem to be going through these portion types now (I'm trying to methodically go through a bunch of different snus I had impulsively opened all at once to try them all out), soon I'll have to work my way back through the opened wintergreen and some dry catch types (licorice, eucalyptus), etc., not really looking forward to it (I've found I like just plain snus best). Once I get caught up I'm looking forward to trying Ettan and some other types I later got (but was at least smart enough and self controlled by then not to try to start in on them with all these others already opened)

To hell with self control.
My coming order will hopefully offer enough variety in flavors, I'll be opening everything within the first couple days.

Morning whistlrr, what pray tell is the knobbywristbone of Michigan?

I'm not sure why so many snus users seemingly jump around. As a cigarette smoker, I found Kent and stayed with it for 20 years. Back then, give me a Winston or Viceroy and I'd almost puke. I've had two other brands in my years of smoking (before quitting). But snus ...

I like quite a few brands, none well enough to become a chain-snusing item!

With nasal snuff, I'm back to my cigarette routine: I found three I really like and will not order other types, having tried about 40 types. With snus, I've now tried most, I think, but I keep getting excited about new stuff (a Mocca in coffee flavor? Yes!!).

Something to do with "Live Well" perhaps

The parts I highlighted right there: questioned and.. answered!
Thats me.. I have to test around first so that I can find what it is I like best before I can settle down and hone in

and btw, hello there TropicalBob! You rock!
I love your videos and I kind of follow you around a little bit, paying extra attention to your posts when I see you here here and on I think two other forums we're both on. This is the first time I've actually talked to you though (I've mostly been just here on ECF and getting gabby here the past couple of days). "Moobyghost" is another one I pay particular attention to (really good howto and helpful movies there too, haven't seen him posting anywhere to say hello to him yet, just so far seeing his movies in youtube)

When I first saw you I mistakenly referred to you as "TobaccoBob" somewhere and I need to relocate and correct that

I love that you've tried just about everything under-the-sun, including just about every NRT; I've seen you talk about ones I'd never heard of before, and you've inspired a few of my own experiments (like my making a nasal inhaler out of the nicorette oral inhaler and a modified vick's inhaler.. I removed the original stuffing, have set it aside for possible future use with e-juice, jam the nicorette's little cartridge right up in the sniffer part instead and I get the desired nicotine from it nasaly and much better than the from original designed, and the cartridge seems to be lasting me a really long time this way, and like the green-tipped QWS snuff bullets you talked about, really looks like I'm just treating a cold).

LoL, hey there OlderThanDirt, you must've asked that here a while back and I'm only just now seeing this thread.
Aren't you glad we got that covered?

just in case anyone else is curious (or wants to contribute to the wanted icons discussion I'll put a link here)

Woo! Glad I could help

I am a fiend for variety but like to keep a few specific ones on hand. I always have a tin of regular, mini, sterk and extra sterk on my desk. The sterk is usually Claq Qui, but sometimes Nick & Johnny or Onyx. The extra sterk is whatever I have on hand.. not too picky there because I use only one or two a day.

As for the regular and minis, well, I switch those up constantly

Lately I have a tin of loose on my desk as well. No mudslides yet I was shocked at how easy and mess-free loose was for me right from the beginning. But I think a lot of that -- and a lot of why some people prefer specific portion sizes, shapes, or certain locations for parking the snus -- is individual anatomy.

Someone mentioned 01... I've got a ton of 01 and 02 here, but mostly for my husband, who uses those almost exclusively. It's not the flavor or the non-drip that appeals to him, though, it's the portion shape. And I have to say I do find the 01/02 portions incredibly comfortable. They're just not flavorful enough for me to use regularly.

I would like to report that I have encountered ONE Swedish snus I actually dislike. Thunder Blue... omg. It smells like windex and tastes like antifreeze. *gag*
