Swedish Snus

[zoppatorsk]

Now where did I put that pretty pink snus can....

lol

I don´t say it´s anything wrong with liking other flavs. Just a different culture.

Another thing i come to think about by reading your post is that you seem to switch flavours.
Over here the common thing is like with cigg that you stick with one brand.

Enjoy your snus!

Well I guess I wouldnt be a very good Sweedish Snusser while Ettan is my my fav I like general, catch, offroad, rodaLacket, thunder, after 30 years of being strapped to one flavor why limit myself to just one now?

Yeh, I spent literally decades smoking one brand of cigarette. Oh the relief of being able to choose from many flavours every day!

Pretty much sticking to one brand/flavor of cigarette seems to be the norm around the world.

With the snus though, and snuff for that matter, it just seems it would be a shame to NOT take advantage of the variety available

I received my first order of snus yesterday in the mail from getsnus.com. Since I started vaping, I realized that vaping alone was not quite doing it for me so I started with the Camel snus. Camel is very very sweet so I thought I wanted something not quite as sweet and that is why I came here. I ordered General Sterk, Thunder Berry Blend, Thunder Frosted Minis, the peach and strawberry flavored Discreet brand, and the General sampler pack. My free mystery can was General Onyx. So I think I got a pretty good variety of flavors and strengths. I have not received the Discreet flavors yet but I have tried the others. So far, and maybe my tastes need to adjust, I don't care to much for these flavors. As extreme as the Camel is for sweet, I feel that these are extreme just the opposite and very salty. Is this something that I will get use to and is there an acquired taste curve to go through? I am doing a Thunder frosted mini right now and it seems better than the first one. What are some other experiences? Thanks for your input to this.

As far as the salt goes, it's one of the main complaints of people new to Swedish snus and nearly everyone says it's to salty. You get used to it in a few weeks and the salt fads to the background. It does take a bit getting used to the Swedish taste, and it is somewhat of an acquired taste, especially the bergamot. It can take some time for your taste to settle down.

A good rule of thumb for snus is if you don't like it at first, put it in the fridge for a few days and try again. You may find the its not so bad the second time. After half a can you might actually like it. It can also take some time and experimenting to find the flavors you like. After 9 months of using snus I'm turning into one of the traditionalist, but many don't and stay mostly with the flavored snus. If it works for you it's all good.

I would have to second this.

Funny thing was I loved the taste right from the start, and I couldnt stand chew. I guess Ive always liked salty things though.

In the beginning, I almost threw up a few times from snus, and once I did. It's probably the extreme saltiness - and that's not coming from an American - that did that. But then, our first cigarettes were not all that tasty, either. It's just that we already knew that when we started smoking, while most people outside Sweden never heard much about snus.

Yeah, I think sometimes we tend to forget how bad the smokes taste. I absolutely enjoyed smoking, but in reality can any of us truly say we like the taste or the breath?

Funny thing is, I did like the taste. But even funnier, I have not missed it for one moment since I started vaping. Not even when I hit the wall.
