Hello all!
I've read the sticky, and now I'm hoping some kind souls here can help me translate my findings into some specific recommendations about:
- what to try
- where to buy it in the U.S. online
- estimated cost now that PACT is in force, etc.
- how I can test my experience with Swedish snus most cost-effectively
Here is what I gleaned about my preferences from the sticky:
Pouches or Loose: Pouches
Size: Mini
Strength: Purified (maybe step up to Portion if necessary, but I would prefer to start off low)
Finish or Style: Purified (apparently, this is good for quick results); maybe some White for times when I plan to use the pouch for a longer, more gradual effect (if I understood the sticky correctly, that is where the White excels)
Color: Irrelevant (that is the conclusion from the sticky, correct?)
Flavor: this is not from the sticky, but the only snus I've tried was the low-grade Americanized snus (e.g., Camel Snus), and I preferred the "Spice" flavor (Camel "Frost" was a distant second). However, I enjoyed the "berry" and plain tobacco flavor of Oliver Twist in the distant past. I don't think I liked their citrus version.
Any help that you Snus veterans can provide would be greatly appreciated.
