I used to get heartburn from dip because of the lack of swallowing saliva, but not with snus.
Higher pH facilitates nicotine delivery I do believe...
Hooray. Plus, I don't have spit cups clogging up the home, car, and office.
Ayup. It's like the "Holy Grail" for tobacco users. Lots of flavors, discreet, varied levels of nicotine doses, inexpensive (compared to other tobacco products), and the tins makes for perfect pellet hop addition holders.
It's a win, win.
Now if I could just figure out why my cheeks puff out when I inhale through my nose............

My two orders are still carrying me through strong. I think I over ordered, as they seem to be drying a little. No worries though.
How's everyone else doing?

I have not gone back to the skoal. I miss it occasionally, especially when working outside, doing the yard, and working the firewood. I am tapering down on the snus, and plan to be completely tobacco free in a few months.
I have also stopped drinking. I went sober on July 27, and have not had a drop since. Life was spinning out of control. Best thing I ever did. I am an alcoholic.I cannot just have one. One day at a time I will not drink. Life has gotten better. Work has gotten better. I am getting the projects on the house done.
Sunday, September 27 was 2 months sober.
Don't mean to hijack the thread.

You guys that like this Snus should try this stuff...

Back when I was in H.S. We had a German exchange student, who's Grandmother owned a tobacco shop in Germany. She sent him packages of Snuftabak ...a semi-dry powder snuff for sniffing up the nose. AMAZING how much flavor you can get from the nasal passages! And it won't stain your teeth!
Watch out... Snuff, Snus, Snuftabak, whatever...can be addictive after you use if for a while. You'll probably wish, someday, that you never started. When I was flying Starlifters back in the day...I used to dip Skoal to keep me going on the all-nighters. It actually was a tough habit to kick. At $5 plus a tin...I'm glad I did though...not to mention the ill health effects in can have.
Sorry, didn't mean to preach. Enjoy your Snus!
LOL I still remember when you were a snus virgin! Damn, I think it was this thread that got me started and interested (now regularly using) snus. Im still a portion user (suits my needs) and keeps the wife from bitching MORE about my snus use.
+1 on the beats the **** out of smoking. Yeah, I still puff a Black and Mild every now and then, or very occasionally a cig (which tastes like ass) but this is rare.
Did I mention getsnus.com for the snubies out there? Here in the USA and I get my packages MUCH quicker.
Good bump G!

Bahg! My grammamma used to snuff. Horrible stuff. I snuck it a few times. That stuff was so strong it made things curl that I didn't think was possible.
Anyone taken the plunge and gotten the $44 General Carbon? I think I will pass on that one.
+1 on that. Its a neat looking can, but I cant justify buying such an expensive product especially if its limited edition. What if I LOVE the stuff and cant get it anymore? Can I brew my own snus?

Have you tried the SKOAL pouches? they are less disgusting than regular Dip and you can place them so no need to spit (much) I use them for the nicotine to and from work, and use Camel Snus (frost) at work. No Illusions it is healthier but in the 5 years since I stopped smoking, I find I can breath a whole lot better.
Ohhhhh Joys of joy. For christmas, my MIL (immigrated from Malaysia) brought me 2 cartons of Dunhil Red and 1 carton of Gudang Garam (my FAVORITE cloves).
Smoke em up Johnny!
I read that and my lungs started to hurt. Haven't had a smoke or drip in 9 years. But, I do remember enjoying the hell out of some cloves.
