What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

[Rwb1500]

Rwb, good for you! At least someone in your family has their priorities straight.


Well it took a bit, but Bella has decided I'm someone worth wagging her tail furiously for and becoming a PIA any time her tongue gets close to my face. That little girl is a licking fool. I think the secret was rubbing her belly and titties. Now the first thing she does if she's laying down is flip over and spread her legs. I swear, women could learn a lot from their canine counterparts. I know we men emulate our counterparts, at least some of the time.

I'm anxiously watching the shipping now. This was kinda a feeler order. I'm not really quite sure what I like aside from General Mint and Original, so I got just about one of everything so I can nail down a few rolls next time there's a good sale on something that strikes my fancy.

It's been $1.99 around here for the last couple of months. I have over two rolls of original and close to two rolls of the mint in the freezer now. But I'm running low on the higher nic stuff from our last big order. Northerner keeps sending me 15% off coupons but their selection sucks so I'm going to start watching the other sites for some good deals.

I'm constantly tempted by Northerner myself. Does anyone know anything about or have you tried the Zyn Nt stuff they carry? Non-tobacco nicotine pouches in lots of fun flavours. I'm extremely tempted.

Sorry to hear about the flooding FC, it creates such a mess. I saw some of the coverage, it looks ugly. We get a lot of flooding around here when the torrential type rains fall but I'm fortunate enough to live on high ground. The biggest issue when we have flooding is finding a way out. I've got one road that I've never seen get closed. It has the potential, but has never gotten that bad.

Can't help you Rwb, know nothing about the stuff you're looking at.

 

[The Rebel]

Me either Rwb. I've used Northener in the past with success. At one time they had a warehouse in the US and they had quite a selection of good Swedish snus. Then, and I believe it was because of lack of demand, they closed that and only offered snus straight from Sweden. Recently they reopened the US warehouse but severely limited what they carry and no longer offer most brands of Swedish snus to US customers. Why? I have no idea but I quit using them and now use snuscentral or Buysnus when I need something other than General.

 

[hittman]

I have been sorely disappointed with the available brands at the northerner warehouse. Last time I looked they didn't even have thunder raspberry.

The LAB Fresh Lemon Slim White

Positively wonderful

 

[Waho]

I've been looking at that lab lemon. Is it more pucker up sour legitimate lemon or candy sweet lemon?

The thunder lemon has this weird thing like the thunder frosted I just don't like.

I agree Hitt, Northern has done just about everything wrong since taking over the warehouse in Bethlehem from whoever owned it before. They currently don't even have Mint and the price is over $4 a can when they have it.

The Lemon sounds interesting but the General smokey oak even sounds more interesting. How is that Waho? I've been having Bacardi Oakheart and Coke lately and really like it. Wonder if the smokey oak would be to my liking.

 

[hittman]

Waho, I agree about the the thunder lemon. I thought it was awful. It tastes like thunder frosted with a little lemon added.

Roth, I just found out myself that northerner is out of mint. I haven't been able to find a good deal locally so I was considering ordering some from them with the current discount code but it's out of stock.

I've been really enjoying it being semi burnt out on mint. It smells a lot like a General Original with the bergamot note, but it has a roasty/smokey/woody character on top that pushes the bergamot to the background. It has enough nic to make me sneeze a few times and has a good nic hit like a strong portion in my experience. They only drawbacks I've found is that it tends to be very drippy like Grov or Ettan portions if you don't like drip, and the flavor only holds for about an hour. It's an oddball that I actually liked better in the bottom lip, and paired well with strong black coffee.

Definitely worth a try if you like the original. It's not something I would buy a roll of, but I probably will toss a few more cans in with my next order. I've been wanting to grab a couple cans of the sommarsnus for years but the timing is never right. I just stocked up on mint at 1.99 and bought 5 cans of wintergreen too.

[hittman]

Wintergreen? Are you a glutton for punishment?

 

[Waho]

It's pretty good now and then. Might take me a year to use these 5 cans

 

[hittman]

Or you could put a can at a time in your mouth and get it over with. Actually the can might taste better than the snus.

 

[Waho]

That would be a Hell of a nic hit. Wouldn't have to snus or vape for days!

The lemon is very, very subtle. Not sweet at all, almost like a thin strip of lemon zest floating in a vodka tonic. It's so subtle that I almost think I only smell it and don't taste it. Great white portion though, although perhaps too mellow for some.

 

[Waho]

Thanks for the insight! I might have to grab a can on my next opportunity.

 

[rothenbj]

Your comment about the subtle taste of the lemon and how you almost feel you smell it rather than taste it reminded me of something I read recently about vaping. They wrote that if you hold your nose while vaping, you won't taste much of anything.

I found it curious and tried. They were right.

 

[hittman]

Why do you suppose that is?

 

[Rwb1500]

Snus of the day was Skruf Tranbar White. This is the cranberry white portion.






Sizable portions, nothing slim or mini here. Nice soft material, seems even softer then the typical Swedish Match fare. My first experience with Skruf period, and I'm pretty pleased. The cranberry, while aromatic, is also very evident in the mouth. It's not too forward, and not subtle either. Not sweet but perhaps a tiny bit artificial tasting. I still like it for a change. It makes me think I'd enjoy the Skruf Original White. There is a bit of bergamot, but it's not very forward.

Overall not too shabby, I might give it a 3.5 out of 5. It won't become my go to but it was nice for something different.

That is curious. I always found that exhaling through my nose gave me a much better sense of how something tasted than just exhaling out of my mouth.

 

[hittman]

I used to love the skruf tranbar and skruf es. They've changed the can since I've had it.
