Ever tried snus?

[Saully]

I'm about the last person expected to ask this question? Shit foisted on American teenagers in order to get the product sold that contains all sorts of crap I wouldn't want to know about. Also I realize I'm probably far from the target age group. But I found it does what coffee should do for me but doesn't, gives me a "jolt" without a headache.

haha yea. you know it. I like the rush but I will not buy another tin I do not want to risk it. But hey what the heck if you like it then chew away brother no harm done here. Enjoy

They are tasty little things though.

NEVER again.

BTW I've only tried the Camel and Marlboro, not the Swedish stuff. I've got the feeling that would be too much, like when I tried Skoal years ago and felt like I was flying.

 

[cashedash]

you should try the Swedish stuff. I haven't but it is better for you. I guess

 

[Josh K]

NEVER again.

I'm with you. Weird nasty shit. Cigars are much better. :thumbsup:

It is interesting stuff. Not great, and I really only care for the mint flavors. The smaller pack, the better. I say I would try it again b/c I have been gifted some that I will at least try once.

Back in the day, when it 1st came out, I used it allot, then I found out that it was burning a hole in the nasal passage and the doc said No more.....So heads up to the heavy user..beside it just made me sneeze all the time

I don't believe this thread was about snuff, he was talking about snus.

I too thought it was about snuff at first. I saw it once. Isn't snus just chew pouches?

 

[cashedash]

What ever it is they claim to be tobacco in a tea bag.

Top for more responses. I can't believe how much I like this stuff -- but I'm careful not to do it too much.

 

[MP928]

Considered trying it, but I think I'm a pure cigar man! Too many cigars I'd rather smoke before I would try!

 

[Robinsond]

gross....

Snus: Something that we Swedes did right at least!

The Camel Snus tastes really good but its definitely aimed for the younger generation. The whole pouch thing is good for very long college lectures but that's the only time I ever felt a use for it.


Off topic but for the people talking about "snuff" that crap is gnarly. I went offroading for 4 days and one of the guys on the trip came from Iceland. I used to smoke cigs at the time and he told me to try it. It was an instant buzz, more than my first fatty dip of green griz. Never again!

I used the Camel stuff back when I smoked cigarettes. I used it when at my GF's house since she hated my smoking and I still wanted by nic-fix. I'd still use it if someone offered it to me, I kinda liked the mint flavor. But I wouldn't actively seek it out of buy it.

I chewed a can and a half of Copenhagen a day from age 12 to 24. It took FOREVER to quit and won't ever try it again. It's so addicting. The Original Copenhagen is probably quite a bit different from the snus in pouches, but I won't risk it anyway.

 

[wowsley]

Use it all the time ... only the Swedish stuff tho.

Few short articles, while we're on the topic -
