I tolerated the Offroad Coffee Vanilla. It was the best Offroad. The new CatchDry Vanilla Mint isn't bad. I hope the reference was to that one.
I think the biggest concern for any smokeless tobacco is risks of heart disease. There was a very large study, the biggest to date done on swedish snus users on something like 100 thousand construction workers. They concluded that snus gave users a 40 percent increase in cardiovascular disease and death than non tobacco users. I could be wrong, but the risk seemed to be higher for snus users then cigarette users within a certain age range.
Hi TropicalBob,I consider you to be a great source of information about all things nicotene,so I thank you for the info you gave meI am going to check out snuson.com,is that where you get your snuss at? I am more into minty,sweet flavors,so I have no idea why I picked extra sterk! Don't even know what sterk means...LOL! Haven't been brave enough to try it yetThe reason i picked the snus I did was trying for high nicotene content,and your right,more nic isn't going to make it better if I can't use it. So,as always I'm open to ideas and suggestions! P.S. I used my vanilla mint snus at work today,no one knew and it is better than the slimy commit lozenges that I have been using with my ecigsLadybug, your list has some of the snus I consider the WORST made. Begin with the Power Elyxyr. It tastes awful, hits too hard and can make you physically ill. I managed to finish the tin I ordered, but gave it an extremely negative review on snuson.com and vowed to never put another one of those in my mouth.
Stay far away from anything labeled sterk. No Thunder, ever. These are far, far too strong for you, now and probably forever. You need a General Mini Mint.
Offroad is yucky stuff, period. The Oomph Licorice/Honey is not bad; ditto the Citrus/Menthol. The Wine and Dine is tasteless and you might get along with that.
Burning of the gums is common. Hiccups are common with stronger snus. You just need to get far away from the idea that more nicotine in snus is better. It isn't and you won't likely like any of the "sterk" or "strong" varieties.
P.S. Robert, if you don't like sweet Camel, you most certainly won't like Swedish snus. They taste far more like tobacco than the Camel product. Have you ever used chew? Camel Snus really doesn't taste like any chew I know of.
Hi TropicalBob,I consider you to be a great source of information about all things nicotene,

Don't even know what sterk means.
Thanx for you input Werkit!
I take it you also use snuss?
If so what do you enjoy?
Also what ecigs are you using?
I like the Vanilla Mint minis myself. I also have made a small change on my list of SNUS I REFUSE TO PURCHASE. I have changed the Offroad entry to exclude purchases of portions, but not loose. The Offroad los comes highly recommended in many quarters.
I think another you should put on the "do not buy" list is Grand Prix.
I really, really don't like Offroad. It may be cheaper than most other brands... but I just thought it was disgusting.
If you want a more affordable snus that is better quality, I'd suggest skruff snus. It's pretty darn good and comes in some tantalizing flavors.
After using a lot of it, I'm with Ziro on Offroad. No more.
That is going to bite us hard if PACT becomes law.
A lot of later studies contradicted the big study done on construction workers.
and again, these studies were smaller,
and swedish match had an interest to partially or fully fund many of the newer studies.
You cannot deny the results of the huge study.
but it was a very large study done on a particular population of people.
I would not believe the newer studies 100 percent and feel there is 0 risk.
