give oden classic another shot, a few weeks off it might help. But then again one of the few things I do seemly agree with TB on is the portions are vastly nastier than the los.
What was your first Snus and what did you think of it?

My first was camel frost. I liked the flavor but the nic content was lacking. My first swedish snus was general mini mints. I like the flavor of the mini mints but still craved more. Now it seems strange to put a mini portion in. It's almost like I can't tell I have it in since I am used to the regular portions. I still keep a couple cans of the thunder minis for when I want to be discreet.
Purchased Camel Frost. Had no idea what to expect or where to put it. Put it in my upper lip, towards the front. VERY SWEET and MINTY! Hadn't eaten my ham/swiss sandwich yet, didn't want the mint to overpower the sandwich, so took it out and laid it on the counter. Had the sandwich. Put the portion back in, right in front. Within 45 seconds was hiccupping badly. Took it out. Laid it back on the counter. Went back to my passthrough. I'm feeling glad I didn't order a ton of it on the internet before trying it first.
BCB the camel sweetener will slam you down hard same with the the Discreet.
It is not for everyone, IF I want a screaming headache I use one..
My snusing coworker is loving the Frosts but gets a bt scared when he sees me smirking and taping a pocket... He is willing but a total trusting soul... and knows I will have him niced out in 3 minutes or less.

So you think it was the sweetener that gave me the hiccups? I really didn't want to put it back in my mouth. I was gonna save it for a craving and see if I would like it THEN.
I've only been vaping for about 10 days after smoking a pack a day for 46 years. Haven't had a cigarette for 2 days although I have 6 cartons in my cupboard.

Check a local tobacco shop there are 2 that might be promising but since I do not know the lay out one is in twin falls the other in Coeur d' Alene and see if they have a general sampler pack.. Or even check getsnus for the sampler pack. Major diff in the general over camel.
I live in Clark Fork. 1 1/2 hour drive to Coeur d'Alene. The big city for us is Sandpoint. My problem is that now that I've found vaping they're making it illegal. So I'm planning my hoard. And was wondering if snus should be part of the plan. You're suggesting I just tried the wrong snus and I should keep snus as part of the master plan?
And hey--thanks for the info.

I am making a run down to the tobacco shack in the next day or 2 I feel in the mood for a crappy cigar to annoy the neighbors with outside. I will see if I can pick up a few sampler packs.
General including minis gave me much stronger hiccups than Discreet, as did all the 'real' Swedish snus I got in my first batch. But I didn't fault that snus, aren't hiccups pretty much just a new-to-snussing thing, one of the common side-effects out there?
To Miss Mia: I didn't know hiccups was common with snus at first. At first I thought it was nicotine overload, then read there's not much nicotine in American snus on a different thread. So maybe it was the sweetener. I'm quite used to nicotine. But not sweetener. I never use that stuff.
Let me check and see if I can get a sampler they had some the last time I was there 2 weeks ago. If they do I will drop ya a pm.
Oh ya do not be afraid of spitting if it gets to much.. Your body adjusts to the tummy rumbles and the hicups are from an influx of nic filled goodness.

Actually hiccups are from swallowing nic to rapidly, it is also listed as a side effect of niccorette. Snus should be used like niccorette, do not suck on it or chew it and you should be fine. Park it in your upper lip near your front teeth.
So did you people leave it in, spit a lot, and eventually the hiccups went away? My instinct was to get it out of my mouth, let my body calm down, and then try again. (or maybe not)
...actually that's what I wanted to make sure BCB got to hear, but hesitant to interfere with a snus guru.
OHHHHH! I'm starting to figure it out. (and also how to use this message board)
Ride it out man if you can, relax spit if need be no point getting to the mouthful that will make you technicolor yawn.
If the Snus you are using is making you saliavate alot make sure you place it in your upper lip near your front teeth as high off the gumline that is comfortable. You also might want to try what is called a white portion as these are dryer and produce less juice.
All input is welcome, a snus guru Im not, just a guy that likes to help others experience the joy I have found with snus. I like snus way better than analogs so as long as the govt doesnt make it so I cant get it I dont think a relapse to analogs will ever happen for me.
