I don't know if you are still open to suggestions for snus to try. Thunder Original is still one of my favorites. I also love General Extra Sterk, Skruf Extra Sterk, and of course the classics like Ettan or General. All of the ones I mentioned before the classics are HARD hitting stuff. I myself used to dip, but then made the transition to snus and found that only the stronger blends could give me a nicotine buzz like with dip.

Yeah, I've got a roll in the freezer of the General extra sterk, 02, Skruf extra, Odens Cinnamon extra sterk, 1887, and a couple stragglers. I'm not a fan of Ettan or Nick and Johnny snus (tried almost all).
I've got some rolls coming along with a few extra cans of new stuff I wanted to try:
General Long Sterk
Gotlandssnus Julesnus (Christmas) Portion

If the Christmas release turns out nice, I'll order a roll or two before they pull them off the shelf after Christmas time.
I'll do a mini review of those when they come in.

Default Re: Snus?

you know, before I found the thread, and before all of you, all I thought that was out there was dip. (I'm not fond of it, or spitting). I would have NEVER tried any of this stuff if it weren't for you guys!

So, Thanks to all of you for info and especially those of you who sent me snus to try! I'm starting to find what I like and it's all because of you all!

I Snus more than I smoke cigars now. Can't smoke inside at home or while at work, but I can Snus. Plus it is cheaper than cigars which is a big bonus right now. Currently using the dry mint portion. Need to go pick up some more today or tomorrow.

Right now I got a decently sized pris of Thunder Extra Stark Original in!

FYI: GetSnus.com has some "close to expiration" cans available for .93 each as of a couple days ago. I check them frequently. The last cans I got that were close to expiration had dates of 2/2011. Kinda helps with the shipping upcharge.

They have good prices, but the shipping encourages me to order from across the atlantic.
The wait is worth the 20 or 30 bones saved in shipping.

As far as I know, you can't order from outside the USA if you're a resident.
