Nasal snuff...I just thought that would make me sneeze so I've stayed away from that, hehe. I got my Stonewalls from genuinetobacco.com. (ok, not here yet, but been shipped) He has a limited selection, and the shipping is a little on the high side, but his prices are very good...$8.92 for 5 packs of Stonewalls/Ariva, which is around $3 per package where I live. His prices on the Camels are over $1 less than the retail around here also. So that's what I ordered from him...but his snus prices are good also...$3 for General and $1.19 for Grand Prix (if you can stomach that brand)
I don't use any of the American snus. We have no idea what's in it and they Camel won't say
Swedish snus is controlled and is only made with food safe ingredients with extremely low TSNA levels and has a good long track record of testing....end spiel..lolI checked out that site for the Stonewalls. They do have great prices for a lot of product
Now is the time to sorta "stock up" on all that stuff. From what I've been reading they will start taxing it. Where I live, one can would become extremely expensive. They may even stop the internet sale of tobacco products all together.
FYI
Here's a site to keep on eye on for the newest tobacco and snus laws
SnusCentral.org today they have an article on their front page about the taxing.
Also snuffhouse.org
Let me know your thoughts about any new snus and the Stonewalls
Most of my snus are Swedish, but that tin of Camel Frost was just sooooooooooo good that I had to get a few more cans...we'll call it my "special treat", hehe. From what I saw someplace, the Ariva and Stonewalls are even lower in TSNAs than Swedish snus, which is why I wanted to try them. Ariva is delicious too, just not strong enough for me nic wise
I saw the article about that bill passing the House and it's off to the Senate now...the one making it illegal to ship tobacco products through the mail/UPS/Fedex/DHL. Just keep hoping it doesn't pass in there. I know there's other ways besides e-cigs and snus to quit smoking analogs, but none of them have worked for me in the past. This combination is working perfectly for me so I plan on staying with it as long as I need to if at all possible. The gum and lozenges just didn't do the trick at all. So yes, I'm starting to stock up just a little

I got my free-sample pack today, I tried the "dry white mini" and it was burning the inside of my mouth within minutes, I tried to move it around some place else and then it just grossed me out.
Wildsky, I'm with you on that one. Every time I order General mini mint from
Getsnus, they ALWAYS send me that one as the freebie.
I will say, that it might surprise you if you stick with it, many snus grow on you over time. Its all the salt and the high PH that gives you the tingle/burn, it helps the nic to absorb faster to give you the hit.
I'd just chunk it in the freezer in a zip lock bag. It might come in handy one day

Was that the sample pack with 3 each of 4 different kinds from General Snus? I'm still waiting on that one to come.
But really...try the mini mint and the wintergreen ones, mmmmmmmmm

Which is exactly what I did with the can of Grand Prix Spearmint...it's in the freezer for one of those "ack, I'm out of snus and have no charged batteries!" days
Yeah thats the one!Was that the sample pack with 3 each of 4 different kinds from General Snus? I'm still waiting on that one to come.
LOL perhaps I'll pop em in the freezer for an emergency.. LOL

Never tried Grand Prix. I heard it has like nonexistent nicotine???....maybe it's better in the trash, lol. Which is where my camel mellow went, that taste,blah, so sweet it made me nauseous.
I'm going to jump on the 40 cans of General mini mint and get that silly USB fridge free from Getsnus.
Do you find yourself using 2 of the mini mint? Me does, a lot
Nope, I just use one mini mint at a time. And I told my hubby about the free usb fridge and he just rolled his eyes at me, hehe
lol ..ok, now I am really curious..How does one use nasal snus?.. Is it loose = you sniff it..Or a pouch you actually insert into the nasal cavity??...
Snus and snuff are two different things. Swedish snus have two types, loose and portion. I've only used portions, but I know that with loose snus you pack the tobacco up into a little bullet shape and put it in your gum/cheek the same way you'd use a portion (wrapped in teabag material). You never sniff snus, even if it's loose. Snuff is another matter, it's meant to be... snuffed. Sniffed. And it is powdery like loose snus, but I've never heard of any kind of pouch that you stick in your nose, heheh.
Hi yeah sorry I may have derailed the thread a little bit by starting to post about snuff...but it's only co I haven't been able to order some snus yet. From what I've read it's something to look forward to, though. Not long til friday!
ROTF
This thread has got to be the best ever.Nothing like a bunch of women gathered around discussing snus and snuff.
Since quiting smoking...I never realized how many MUCH more enjoyable ways there are of getting nicotine.
Sheilalyn, I get the
all the time from my other half, lol
no, I'm glad you did derail it a little Red...I was highly interested in hearing more about it lol...Even though I knew I'd be looking quite silly for asking if it was intended for more then just a little sniff ( laugh)
But, hey you talked about gently sniffing as opposed to snorting it into your sinuses..I was like whaaat? There's not too many lady like ways to be asking what needed to be asked rofl

laughing:: I just got this visual of me, face all buried in a can of snuff..nose/mouth all white as hubby walks in..." this is some good chit, man... lol
You guys need to come over and spend some time with my wife!!ROTF

She just doesn't get how I enjoy snus and snuff. I've tried to get her to try it and she won't. Won't give up those cancer sticks for nothing.

Sweet, he's inviting us all to Florida, let's go girls! hehe (j/k of course)
Maybe you should show your wife this thread that has unburied some of the female snus users in here? If they didn't taste good, I surely wouldn't use them! They're much better than the nicotine lozenges or the gum ever thought of being. And I'll bet all us SnusChicks have all our teeth still too!

I was thinking the same thing about how this turned into a "chick post" hehe.
And the hubby is getting used to my different ways of staying off the analogs, but I don't think he minds since he only smokes the occasional Swisher Sweet (ick).
