    Default Great info guys, recommendations?

    Hi, I'm an anolog smoker of 20 years or so. Started snus about a year ago. Just the gas station Camel Frost. I'm heavily addicted to nicotine as I smoke Swisher Sweets and yes, inhale. Got me a 510. Gone from 1.5 down to .5 pack a day. Maybe 10-15 a day actually. I stealth vape at work and snus too. I've found that at 36mg juice doesn't cut it with me. Ordered some 60mg to cut with hoping that will do the trick.

    So back to snus. I'm looking for recommendations. I like mint, but hate menthol. I probably need to vape at 48mg, so what would be a close approximation to snus strength? I like the idea of packets rather than loose snus just for the ease of expectoration. (There's a word). I'll list some requirements.

    -High nic.
    -Sweet is good
    -minty is also desirable
    -Cost, no option
    -Ease of use
    -Tobacco is a good flavor as well, underneath anything else
    -Scotch and cigars are good flavors.

    Really guys, any help would be great. I plan on ordering from buysnus. I don't want to get lost in a sea of model numbers and suppliers. Let's keep it simple. I'm not looking for perfection, just a good starting place.

    Thanks in advance,
    -Geoff

    I've tried both the General Dry Mint and General Wintergreen. I had the Dry Mint in portions and the Wintergreen was loose.

    Both are super strong, but the loose was almost umbearable, for me at least. After trying genuine Swedish snus, it's hard to go back to the Camel brand.

    Northener.com has a nice selection.

    Go to GetSnus.com or Northerner.com and get some of the Thunder Frosted. I hit the regular portion first thing in the morning and use the minis through out the day. Haven't touched my e-cig in about 3 weeks now. But be careful, the original portions are 16mg and the minis are 8mg.

    Hey beerman

    Good lord Bardic, 16mg portions, your a hard customer!

    Getsnus is stateside, a little limited on selection compared to Northerner, but good product, fast shipping.
    They have a special right now that would give ya a good all-round of flavors at a really good price.
    Mixed Original Portion Sampler - GetSnus.com


    Enjoy, let us know what works for ya!

    EDIT: Hmmm, Nothing in that sampler is mint, and they are all 8mg portions, still...

    Woo got one of my snus orders today, so here is the break down on what I got.

    Onyx, PM owned now but damned if it is not a good flavor.
    Skruf cranberry, Dried fruit goodness a bit on the sweetside.
    Gotlanderssnus flader. Not tried but smells awesome.
    Claq qui multi cans it kinda grew on me.

    Oden's los extra sterk. Got it in and really grooving on it. Kinda like cope rough cut without the nasty.
    Oden's extra sterk kanel loose. Next on my skull stomp.

    Looking forward to the other los snus I have coming from northerner.

    And of course a pris tool for lip loading. no mess no fuss.

    Actually getsnus's web site is very easy to navigate with very little learning curve. I also concur with the other guys once you go to sweedish snus there is no going back to camel. My fav is Ettan original but you seem to be more hardcore than me but I believe there is a section for high nic on there. Also you can click on any of the products and it will tell you the nic str in mg. Sweedish snus is the bomb.

    Yep 17mg los is very hardcore. Enjoyable and HARDCORE!

    This order I got loose for home enjoyment and portions for out and about.

    I range my mg and flavors on what my craving is demanding.
