Snus storage? Does the kick deteriorate?

[four2109]

I had some mini's in the fridge that I had taken out of the freezer. I don't remember how long ago. I'm trying to get back off of analogs and ecigs don't do it for me. The mini's don't seem to do it. If I do a full portion it's close but I couldn't stand those before. I still have some mini's in the freezer.
Anyone have info on the shelf life? Do they just lose their strength?

From my experience having some stock that is over two years old, I can say conclusively, it depends. Some of the tobacco flavors don't handle age well, but not all of them. I think the white portions age best. My technique is to keep them in the freezer until I plan on using them within the next 3 or 4 days. I normally have 5 or 6 cans opened at any one time, pull 3 or 4 portions from 3 or 4 of those cans and carry the 12 or so portions with me each day. Works for me.

Thanks, I still have some in the freezer but the ones in the fridge have been open for I don't know how many months. I'll see how they work out before I get the fresh from the freezer. Hate to waste em.

I do the same thing as Roth, I have my main supply in vacuum sealed zip lock bags, within the freezers. Then I have my open cans (6-12) in the fridge. I take some portions out of the can in the fridge and toss em in a montecristo tin to take with me.

I also agree, that white (black) portion snus ages better than most.
