Sorry for the late reply - for me at least snus didn't provide that hit that I was really looking for when I did cigarettes. Snuff on the otherhand really kills my cravings compared with snus. Snus is OK but it's really a hassle if you use loose snus while the snus minis use rough material that really irritates your gums - snuss also doesn't taste great, not bad just not great. In contrast, snuff tastes great and you can get away with it with a bullet. Just my opinions of course but I'm sticking with snuff as my mainstay (even over my vape :)).
Thanks for the input! First snuff order is the QWS IceCool, Toque Vanilla, and McChrystal's OG.

Gashin, just curious as to why the snus doesn't work. I'm not sure I will be able to get away with the snuff at work.

dgriego, thanks for the Lotzbeck heads-up. I'm not a maple fan.

JoJo, I'm afraid that won't work for me. Too many people ready to blow someone in for anything, and loss prevention cams in the facility. Can't bring myself to vape in the bathroom...It's just.....well......GROSS in there.


ohhhhh, I see, thats too bad - I guess I should count my blessings...
I get to vape in my office and snuff too.....I just close my door.

Well, looks to me that snus is the only option in order for your hair to smell good and get your nic and be stelthy.. the smell from cigs lately make me ill, I couldnt immagine having to sit in a hut and vape with others....uggg

I'm with you there, jojo. Looks like a great deal and the flavors sound good, but I don't want to end up with 10 cans I have to gag my way through. If I knew they were high nic I'd probably give it a go....I donno.....sure'd like to see a review........

The ginger lime looks good. I wonder if you can get 5 cans of spearmint and 5 of the ginger lime?

Edit: this stuff is fermented, not pasteurized. How big of a difference does that make?

Oh, if that's the case forget it. Fermented is high in TSNA's. Voids the healthy side of using Swedish snus. .....well, guess that settles that for me.

There is a bit of discussion going on with that over at snuson. The fermented snus, and viking is the only snus I know of that is fermented, and american style dip, can have very low TSNA numbers to start with. The problem from my understanding, which I admit is not complete, is that the TSNA numbers will grow with age. The pasteurized snus kind of sterilizes the tobacco and TSNA numbers do not grow with age. That one year old snus in the freezer is just as safe to use as it was when it was made. Not so with fermented snus or dip.

I wouldn't want to stock up on viking for a rainy day.

Edit; good link jojo. That closes the book on viking snus
