My first exp with snus

[olderthandirt]

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.

Good morning lady!
You had mentioned Offroad Limited to me earlier, I almost went for it. I might still, I think it's still available. I held off cuz it is "Limited". I'm really wanting to find my go-to snus right now and it would suck to become enamored with something that is not going to be readily available

Both the Mocca's are treats! The pomegranate is really tasty as well. But they are treats only due to size and nic

I have found keepers though, 'bout ready to graduate to rolls

I find the Mocca Macchiato potentially nice but heck of a strong taste - does anyone know of a way of toning down the taste?

Hi Ceasarea
And again the subjective differences in taste. I'm loving the macchiato but wishing the flavor was more pronounced!

I can't offer anything with regards to toning it down but sloshing a sip of hot coffee in my mouth along with a portion really brings the flavor out!

What's the difference between white and regular?

White portion - dry, nicotine is more slowly absorbed

Regular portion - wet, nicotine is more readily absorbed

Or at least, that's how I have heard it put.

That sums it up nicely. Personally, I much prefer original/regular portions, but some brands I enjoy only come in whites. I actually "convert" them into regular portions by misting inside the can with distilled water and let it soak in overnight. Voila! Original portions

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

I wanted to see if I even liked snus before ordering a bunch of it. Actually I ended up kinda liking the Camel mellow and loved the Camel mint now my shipment is here I won't be doing Camel anymore. I ordered a bunch of it and am freezing it cuse it looks like Govt is going to shut down internet purchasing of tob prod here in US. I really don't know what I am going to do if the Damn govt is successful in shutting the ecig and snus as I like both these products better than analogs.

Hi Brewster
S.1147 was brought up in the Committee of the Judiciary last Thursday, appears there was no vote at that time. It's said bills often die in committee so perhaps there's hope!

If nothing else we do have time to do as you indicate, buy and freeze! What brands have you found so far that you're enjoying?

Actually it's two you need to watch out for, the one you've listed and H.R. 1676 which has already passed the house and is now in committee in the Senate.

H.R. 1676 is almost identical to S. 1147, except 1676 excludes cigars. Well the Senate Committee didn't like that so they did the 1147 and dropped the exclusion.

What will probably happen is the House won't give up their cigars and the Senate won't let it on the floor until they do. So it'll probably die in committee.

Gee I often wondered if all those years in DC would come in handy.

If that holds true that would be very good news indeed. Lets hope this one dies on the shelf, and doesn't leave any foul lingering odors as it does.

Egads, just looked at the house vote for 1676, overwhelming pass. Here's hoping your assessment is what actually takes place Bardic. In the meantime just in case there are 'foul odors' left a lingerin' might not be such a bad idea to breakout the seal-a-meal and fill some empty spaces in the freezer.
