Real snus

[njgeek]

Nice. Don't tongue it too much and you should be good to go. If it gets too soggy, clench your teeth and suck air through the teeth. It will dry the pris a bit without screwing with it. If it starts to slip down, either push it with the tongue and dry or blow air into your gums with your mouth closed and see if you can nudge it with the inside of your lip.

Snus is fun.

Cool, thanks for the help. They were taking huge pinches in the videos. I found it much easier to take a smaller one.

For those who don't know, Northerner owns Getsnus. I used to order from getsnus all the time before the PACT act was passed. I still use them sometimes. The problem I have with them is that you can't get all of the different brands that you can from snuscentral or another company that ships out of sweden. I'm afraid I won't be much help on the loose snus. I have always used the portions so good luck to you mooreted. I have heard some people talk about using an icetool to make their prillas.

Actually, I baked a good pris last night and left it in for about an hour; worked fine, no mud mouth. I'm taking the General original portion tin with me to work. Portions are easy and I can move them around when I want to.

I'm glad you're doing well with it. One other thing I forgot to mention about ordering is that depending on what state you are in, the tobacco tax can be a little or a lot so when ordering from snuscentral, you don't pay tax. Just thought I'd mention that.

 

[mooreted]

Nice. I'm in California, they'll take any opportunity to charge tax, so no tax would be great.

The shipping is more expensive thru snuscentral so depending on your tax rate then it may or may not be worth it. They also offer discounts on orders over I think $150. The last tax rate chart I saw said that the rate for California was 31.7% on smokeless tobacco.

Dear God...are you serious?

Ha! I wish Wisconsin's was that low. We're at 100%......

You did have to remind me to that didn't you.

Back on subject. If you like general loose you have to give Ettan a try. It's the classic tobacco flavored snus that nearly everyone likes. You have to order it though as it's not available in B&M stores.

In case you are wondering I pay over $7.00 for a can of general locally.

I am sure General Snus is now available at hundreds of tobacco stores in the US. I buy it locally from a cigar/tobacco shop for less than any of the online stores I have seen. My favorite is General Nordic mint of the ones I have tried. And it is $3.29 a can.

 

[mooreted]

Yeah, I'm using general portion I got at the tobacco shop for about 4.00. It has a strong tobacco taste with an orange peel background. It's pretty good, and cheap.

For those Canadians out there, 711 has started selling Swedish Snus, much to the delight of my Swedish friend who is back on the snus wagon ever since. It is horribly expensive though and comes out at $16.95 per tin after tax!!!!! I am so glad I don't use snus that is craaaazy expensive. My friend was telling me that it is waaaay more addictive than ciggies. Obviously nowhere near as bad for you (physically) not so sure about financially!!!

 

[mooreted]

Wow, that's reduckulous.

If I'm not mistaken, the Nordic mint only has 15 portions where most cans have 24 portions.

 

[mooreted]

Yeah, my tins both have 24.

I don't know that snus is any more addicting that cigarettes, I'm still at 4-5 portions a day after over 2 years, but it sounds like the Canadian government is certainly addicted to tobacco tax money.

 

[mooreted]

Yeah, got that right.

Thank your lucky stars.

Don't tongue it too much

From the 'phrases I will never state' department.

Oh, you were talking about a pris. Nevermind.
