I think I wouldn't be able to lie about it either Wiz. I would either do what you are doing or more likely just pay the money. I think I might be able to give up the snuff but could not do without snus. I could not, would not Sam I am. Congrats on being almost half way there. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that they do not do the same thing year after year. So here's the burning question that I would like to know the answer to. What will be your first snuff choice after six months of doing without?

Thanks Hitt.....Between knowing I still have all my pals in the smokeless area....and my "Massive" supply of snuff...I will find a way to "Stay the Course"

First Choice? Hedges L 260 "The Snuff"(Why settle for anything less...LOL)

I have never tried the hedges but have heard a couple war stories about it. It's a really potent menthol right?

Hitt..Super menthol!..It will make your nose hairs curl! It used to be my "Just before Bed" snuff!

Wiz!

 

[hittman]

The longer I use snuff it seems like I am taking more of a liking to the menthols and have started adding menthol to some regular ones.

Thats funny.....I used to add other flavors to my menthols!..LOL!

Wiz!

It seems like I have a stuffy nose in the mornings alot and like how the menthols open me up. I will have to get a small tin of the hedges the next time I place an order. I am a glutton for punishment after all.

Sorry Brother.....Hedges only comes in the Big(25g)tin!!(It will last you a good while!

It wouldn't be the first time I bought too much( as he sits here with a case of lemon grove, four full cans of honey bee and 3.5 containers of macuba plus misc. others). I just recently got a small tin of WoS honey menthol. That really opens the sinuses. At first I couldn't stand the strong menthols but have become more tolerant of them lately. I actually haven't used my ozona raspberry for over a month now. I need to dig that one back out. I don't know that I have actually finished a tin of any one snuff.

Hey guys, see you all talking about snus a lot, I remember TB using it also. Honestly you like it better than vaping? Can you quit the analogs with snus? Were you all dippers, chewers before?
Just curious, never did any of those.

PV's never really killed the cravings for cig's for me. Once I ran across the smokeless forum and found out about snus and snuff, I was finally able to kick them to the curb. I've had one cig in the past 4-5 months. I dipped before, but that was 20+ years ago in high school.

Thanks, may have to try some. Are the camel snus OK? Not sure where to get others, I guess I can go to the smokeless subforum and look around!

PTJD......I never would have been able to quit analogs with snus and snuff alone. For me the TH and hand to mouth are two powerful addictions that nicotine alone won't curb. Those other products were used mostly to maintain. Without vaping I would have been screwed!

Hey Skr!!! Where the heck have you been? Nice to see you here my friend!

PT....I am one of the few here who enjoyed the Camel snus. Very pleasent taste IMO.......Nicotine....So so! Most of the regulars in the smokeless forum have aquired a taste for swedish snus....which tends to be too salty for my taste buds. The Nicotine content is much higher with the swedish snus as well.

If you ever get the urge to try some snuff I will hook you up!

Thanks, may look into it. These pages are killing my eyes!!!

First of all, Skrymr welcome back! man it's good to see you here again.

PTJD, if you want to try snus, the camel is an easy way to see if it is something you are interested in. To me the camel is kinda low in nic content but like Wiz, I kinda liked the taste of the camel frost but it just didn't have enough nic. I too need the TH from vaping and the physical end of it. The first time I tried snus was when I had been vaping only for about two months and was starting to feel myself sinking into depression. I knew if I didn't do something that I would end up smoking full time again. I was missing the whole tobacco alkaloids and the nicotine alone wasn't enough to keep me level. The first portion I put in my mouth was like someone had turned the light back on for me. It took about 15 minutes but then all of a sudden I felt it. There was no turning back for me. I was never a dipper or a chewer and the thought of loose tobacco in my mouth had no appeal to me. The snus are in little pouches so you don't have to worry about getting mud mouth. Snus releases the goods slowly so it isn't a quick fix like cigarettes and that is where snuff comes in for me. You get a faster reaction with snuff and there are tons of different scents so it would be pretty hard not to find a few that you like. I don't have any general mini mints left which is what I would suggest to try the first time around but do have a can of thunder frost minis and several cans of general mint regular portions if you would like to try some. I don't use the minis any more so I could send you that can and I have a bunch of the mint portions in little three portion sample packs that a local tobacco shop gave me. If you would like some to try then shoot me a pm and I'll put them in the mail to you.

 

[PTJD]

Thanks Hitt, I may buy a can today(to think I've been throwing away the camel coupons!), got a flight later tonight and may try it while on board.
Do you vape and do the snus at the same time? Is snus like a smoke in that you might do 1 an hour or so?
Or is it like vaping where your constantly puffing?

Hitt, I may take you up on the offer.

 

[hittman]

You put the pouch in between your upper lip and gum. I put it above my molars in the back and leave it. I keep a portion in for about 1-1.5 hours. No spitting needed. It's not like dip where you need to spit. I do vape while I have a snus portion in. I vape less than half of what I used to though since I started using snus. Snus keeps me from getting the cravings like I used to for the most part. Just take the portion out when you think you are done with it. I would say probably at least thirty minutes to get the goods out of it but longer if you want. Some snus keeps it's flavor for a long time. I did the same thing as you before I started using snus. I used to get the coupons and either give them away or throw them away. Like I said before, if you want to try some swedish snus then just shoot me a pm with your address. I have a fair selection of snus and snuff. If you want to take a look at some different kinds, you could check out getsnus.com. I have the ones I talked about earlier plus Thunder berry, LD black(licorice flavor), Grovsnus black, catch licorice, offroad cranberry, lab01, offroad coffee vanilla, thunder long, and maybe one or two other kinds. The thunder berry is an extra strong portion at 16mg nic, the grov and thunder long are strong portions at 12mg nic, and the rest are regular portions at 8mg. Even the 8mg seems stronger to me than the camel snus.

First of all, thanks everyone for the welcome back. I've been pretty busy lately with school, looking for a job, and another hobby I've recently gotten into. All that and Sherry moving 300 miles away have kept me hopping.

PTJD, the camel snus was the first snus I tried. It was way too sweet for me, but it works well for other folks, so you'll have to try it and see. Hittman is right on with the Gerneral mini portions to start with, and the rest of his advice. They make a mini mint and a mini regular which is bergamont flavored. I really like the bergamont flavor of Generals whole line, but Onyx is my favorite. If camel doesn't work for you, let us know and we can make a few more suggestions about where to go from there if you'd like. There is a variety of sizes, shapes, and strengths, so hopefully there is something that will work for you.

 

[PTJD]

Hey thanks for your help guys. Just bought a mellow box of camel snus, will try it out on my flight this evening, actually vaping works great for me on flights but I'll add this to it.

Oh, Wiz, you might want to get a hold of admin, I was able to read the emerald threads without logging in. Must be the software upgrade, they forgot to give permissions.

I'll check back in from SFO.

 

[TWISTED VICTOR]

Not to change the most important subject on the forum (smokeless tobacco is the poo), but what's all this alphabetical junk? They've rearranged the social forums! That would put Utopia at the bottom of the heap. Doesn't seem right. Priorities boys. Wiz, tell 'em this is a Class A joint. It belongs back where it was. Who's idea was this? Administrator? rolygate? SJ? Reid? Pelosi? Osama? Oh, I see. They wanna redistribute EC's wealth. Damn monkeys......

Oh, hey Skrymr. Sherry moved 300 miles away? My wife only needs to head to Walmart to give me the shake.
