I can actually see a day comming when I'll be join the druid and will be using ecig very little for me snus is the bomb. I'm really starting to think Stubby is right and this ecig is really a placibo.

I know this stuff needs to be kept in the refridge but how long does it keep? I kinda ordered a bunch of it.

Hey now, I come home from a long week in the salt mines and someones abusing my good name (LOL).

Actually I never really was anti-e-cig (well, maybe for a bit after e-cigs failed in spectacular fashion for me). As time went on I realized it does work for some, just not all of us. And that's the part that bugged me.

I think the thread on the nicotine forum we've all been following has been a real eye opener.

In the mean time, snus is it. The only thing out there that got me off the smokes, and I was hopeless.

It will keep for quite awhile in the fridge, and people have kept it for over a year in the freezer. Swedish Match says that over time the PH will go down a bit so it will lose some potency.

If you really want to play it safe just keep what you're using in the fridge and everything else in the freezer.

Thanks Stubby for your infinite wisdom lol actually your post prob made it so I could get off the cigs. I was doing ecig and smoking analogs (but less of Them) with snus I dont even think about smoking an analog.

I bought Camel mellow what I found out is I could like snus but the camel is way to sweet and kinda taste crappy.

You would have done better to pick some leaves up out of the yard and suck on them than to buy Camel SNUS.

I
What flavors taste more like tobbacco? I'm thinking about going with licorice if I cant find a tobbacco flavor.

ANY Swedish snus will taste better than Camel. Tres Ankare is pure tobacco flavor. If you like licorice, get LD Black. Even though it is a discount version, many claim it is the BEST licorice snus.

Good morning folks
Hey isande, my most recent order was by and large your recommendations. 'Nuther big thank you! We're in agreement about the Macchiato, REALLY wish it came in a portion other than mini.
Tried both Skruf and Offroad cranberry, not much difference 'tween the two. Light berry taste, faint tobacco, flavor fades fast but they do seem to deliver the nic.
Haven't tried the Mocca Pomegranate or the free Nick and Johnny Black yet but...
The Probe Whiskey!!!!!!!!!!!
Popped one last night after dinner. I was absolutely amazed! It was sooo much like savoring small sips of Kentucky Bourbon I could hardly believe it.

So next order appears I'll be trying something from Ettan and perhaps the 01. So far I seem to be leaning towards medium tobacco flavor, portions that are around 11mg or less.

Further recommendations anyone?

But the Machiatto! Ahhh... Machiatto....

Haha, awesome! It sounds like when it comes to the more flavored portions, our tastes line up nicely. Mocca Macchiato and Probe Whiskey are definitely my favorite flavored snuses. (Though the Mocca just doesn't deliver the nicotine level I'd like, but the flavor is great!)

You might want to check out the Offroad Limited Edition collection - 2 tins each of 5 flavors. It's $25 at Getsnus.com. Mango Creme, Moonshine, Chocolate-Raspberry, Sweet Clove and Mandarin Orange I believe. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds like something you might enjoy.

What's the difference between white and regular?

What's the difference between white and regular?

This is from a post by Kitabz that really helped me with the basics.

" Finish or Style
For some of the above there are further subdivisions to describe the finish or style:

1. Purified – these contain purified tobacco plus cellulose filler and are completely dry. This style releases the nicotine relatively quickly but also lasts for the least amount of time. Because they are made from purified nicotine, there is no tobacco flavour at all. Any flavours that this style of portion may have are added during manufacture (and there is one brand which is completely flavourless by design).
   This type only comes in the mini size, indeed it is thinner than a mini but around the same width and length.
2. Portion or regular – these have been lightly sprayed with tobacco liquid. The causes the nicotine to be released more quickly but has the side effect that they can be a little "drippy". Although spitting is not technically required with snus, some portion snus in this category can cause quite a bit of saliva to be produced.
   This type comes in all sizes and strengths.
3. White – these have not been sprayed with tobacco liquid and are mostly dry to the touch however they are still around 50% water (inside the pouch), similar to previous item, it is just that the teabag material has not been additionally sprayed. This type comes in both the mini and the regular size but not the maxi. White portions have a less noticeable taste to start with and take longer to "kick in" than regular portions. However, the flavour and nicotine tend to last for longer.
   This type comes in all strengths except extra strong (to date)."
