Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I'm normal! I sometimes wonder. I do know my portions are larger than the retail portions but I'm doing less times per day. I'm probably pretty close to my max and when the excitement dies down it'll just be around there there still. Its quite a bit but nothing even near near snus/snuff abuse. Goooood to know.
With just vaping including mostly WTAs it was just taking too much vaping. Now I can relax and enjoy. Not have so many long slow easy drags of the vape in hold for 1 and 2 then inhale and exhale slowly through nose. I can waste some now and just not think so much about it all. Plus so far I don't see me needing extra strength snus or snuff ( does snuff even have es? ) I vape plenty and so I'm good. This is really good. The only thing that I'm still getting accustomed to is the salt. Any low salt flavors? At this time I'm not liking menthols or mints.

I got my snuff in today! (. :
My transaction for snus with Sweden is caught up in the middle of another failure. ) :

So. Thought I'd go ahead and ask some more. Which American should I try to tide me over until my good stuff gets here? I read they are very sweet. That probably is acceptable but which is the least sweet maybe and not minty. My local store has things but I'm not sure which ones you keep in your mouth like snus or which ones you have to chew and spit. In America do they call snus snuf and chew chew or dip or
I don't want my info from a circle K employee just in case they don't know anything about it. I live in a small town so there is probably Swedish snus 40 miles from me and that's too far.

    There are some snuffs stronger than others. Hedges l260, molens macuba, red bull, to name a few.

    I think Roth said the camel mellow wasn't too bad. There is a brand called discreet if you can find it. Tobacco stores here carry it. There are a few different flavors.

    Fay, I'm not a big fan of American SNUS and never had the opportunity to try Discreet (is it still sold?), but avoid Marlboro completely. It's been a while since I bought any of the Camel, but I've had both the Robust and Mellow and they were okay, sweet as opposed to salty which was probably by design for the US market. I don't even notice any saltiness with Ss anymore. The cans are fairly cheap so it's worth a shot.

    Around here, the convenience stores have them in little coolers. If you don't see it, ask.

    My go-to strong snuff is Togue SP Extra. It's an SP, meaning it has some citrusy sent to it much like the bergamot snus. If you want a straight tobacco Togue Quit has the same base high nicotine tobacco but without the SP. Not nearly a big of a fan of that one.

    Some must try snuffs

    Togue original
    Togue natural toast
    Togue almond toast
    Molens ginger bread
    Fribourg & Treyer Old Paris
    Samuel Gawith Kendal original (a man's man snuff)

    I don't do menthol and have a limited capacity for flowery perfumes and fruit so take the above list with a grain of salt.

    Ok. No Marlboro. Yes Camel. Good enuff. It was a nice surprise to learn that the Amercan has gotten more pure now. I think I read it has a lot less nicotine but that might have been a dated post. That's ok. I think I get plenty of nic. It's the WTAs I'm scrounging for.
    I did get Toque SP but not extra. And a toast, think marmalade or High toast ireland. Everthing was Toque 1 st time around. I'm assuming extras mean extra nic, not extra flavor. Got their Ginger too but Molen's Ginger bread sounds great. Anyone know the nic content of snuff compared to the average 8 mg or so in snus? They never said on cig packs either and nobody .....ed.
    The es Fubar brand sounds scarey. Might be appealing to younger people. There is a lot more snuff selection than snus. Interesting.
    Getting over one of those nauseating anxiety inducing headaches out of no where here in the middle of night. Goin going but not gone

    Good morning. Unlike stubby, I like the mentholated snuffs. The hedges I mentioned, McChrystals O&G, ozona raspberry, ozona president, and a few others are ones that I ended up gravitating towards. I did also like several of the Wilson of Sharrow snuffs like best sp, high dry toasts, lemon grove, tangerine, etc.. The molens macuba is a strong snuff that is coarse cut and to me really packs a kick. It's a straight tobacco with what I believe to be clove in the background. If you like coffee, the Wow coffee bites is a good coffee scented snuff.

    Your post in general, but this series of posts gave me a flashback. The year was 1964-

    Unfortunately facebook is blocked here at work. I still never took the time to set up an account anyway.

    Here's a little insane story of my own. My wife called in a 90 day refill for a prescription for my daughter. It's usually $40 since it's a generic. I noticed this morning that my check card had been billed for $112.95. When my wife called the insurance company, they tried telling her that we have to pay for prescriptions until our deductible is made. It's never been like that before so she called the insurance broker that my work uses and he said that we should have the same plan as before(there was a renewal) and he would contact the insurance company and have them contact her. I sure hope so. If we had to pay out of pocket for all prescriptions then I'd be looking at a couple thousand more a year. So I'm holding myself back from talking to my boss until I know for sure what the answer is. If for some reason it is like that then there are going to be several disgruntled workers. It seems like every time there is an insurance renewal that on top of the premium increase that there is always some kind of drama. There are no insurance books passed out any more and we are expected to get online to see what our coverage is. I'm ok with that but there are still some people that don't have a computer or use the internet. Hard to believe but we have at least one or two where I work.

    Most insane and "need to get flash player" to view. That's no problem really. I do iPad and don't get deeply in to it so miss out sometimes.

    So I see Molens has something for me to try. Macumba, Ginger Bread. Look at Wilson of Sharrow and read about Paris-Fribourg and
    Treyer

    I think I ordered all but 2 loose snus that was available on snuscentral that I'm willing to try at this time but snuff list will be long when time comes. Hittman- I did a strong 10 can Scruf for occasional

    Got my tea bags yesterday and although it's good to be able to pri and enjoy, making my own portions now

    That's insane Hitt, hopefully a mistake. I don't know if you've been to the other side of the tracks lately, but apparently when Obummacare takes effect next January, the insurance companies are able to assess a 50% additional premium on nicotine users and that's not eligible for any tax credits. The premium charged is less for younger nic users but hits around 50% at 50. I guess they want to allow the younger smokers to get really hooked before they turn the screws.
