It helps very much.

so the skoal dry is actually a snus? guessing it isn't cured the same way as regular skoal?

Thanks,

Yes, SkoalDry is tobacco in little pouches just like Swedish snus. I've only tried the cinnamon flavor -- and like it a lot -- but I think there's an apple flavor also. I order the cinnamon online at this time. Not sure why it's not widely available, but most tobacco store displays of chewing tobaccos do not include SKoalDry tins. They're not at all like Skoal Bandits, which I've tried and dislike.

Found Stonewall at a Flying J's truck stop. Picked up a box of Java and Wintergreen. So far the java is very tasty.

Excellent. Truckers love 'em, for sure. I prefer the java flavor; I found the "regular" flavor really nasty at first. I still don't care for it, but can tolerate it if I have to. The wintergreen is almost too strong, but tastes quite good. Java though seems perfect after a meal or with a cup of coffee in the morning.

My son has an 8-hour flight to Ireland today and I gave him a full box of java Stonewall to keep him sane while airborne.

Sweet. found a tobacco shop that sells stonewall. This is good because the are only a few minutes down the road from work as opposed to being all the way across the city. Now if i could only find snus...

I've tried the nicotine lozenges and have now tried Stonewall and for me there is a big difference. The lozenges are much larger and gummier, gunkier, peppery.... overall not very comfortable in my mouth. I prefer the Stonewall. The Stonewall are far more affordable also.

I also did lozenges and found them exactly as you describe. Stonewall is not only much better, but far cheaper. It's not a SOLUTION for me, but part of an overall stay-off-cigs strategy that includes e-smoking.

I picked up two boxes of Stonewalls from a local cigar shop.
I got original and java.
They're not too bad... But I don't really like the sweetness. It seems like they have artificial sweeteners in them?
I can't stand the taste of artificial sweeteners.

I'll use the rest of what I have, but I think I'll stick with my Oliver Twists.

Yeh, if you look at the Star Scientific Web site, there are complaints on the sweetness. I like sweet, so have no problem. Strangely, I like regular OT too -- no sweetener at all.
