Don't you hate it when some old crusty snuser goes on and on about some awesome snus that you can't get anymore?

Chadizzy has been doing this lately about a previous "Catch" snus (Catch is Swedish Match's limited edition mini portion line - they are currently on "Glow" which is a kind of lemony snus and before that they did a very nice rhubarb snus) - Vanilla Mint. Doesn't that sound great? But you can't get it any more, not even outside the US.

So, what to do...

Enter SnusX!

For newer snusers, SnusX is a bucket of about 500 portions of wonderful V2 snus (it also comes in Los). Unflavored and dry. With a 2 year shelf (yes, shelf) life. At an awesome price. Northerner carries it, but as of yet they have not relabeled it to make it available in the US under our "new and improved" laws*. You can buy little (8 ml) bottles of "Snusarom" (flavoring) from them or you can go get your own flavoring from a variety of stores (e.g., Whole foods, Kroger, etc) or you can go to a number of internet shops too.

*If you get a chance - complain to them about this - They'd probably be really happy to hear about something different for a change!

Anyway - Tonight we are going to make a can of SnusX Vanilla Mint portion snus. To do this we have:



  1. Tap Water
  2. 20 some snus portions artfully arranged in a used can
  3. Our trusty shot glass measure
  4. Our sprayer from Walmart
  5. Our eye droppers from Walgreens
  6. Mint SnusX Snusarom
  7. Vanilla SnusX Snusarom
  8. Lab coat
  9. Evil laugh

Here's our recipe:
8 ml tap water
1 ml SnusX Mint
1 ml SnusX Vanilla

I add the water to the measure and then use one of the eye droppers to remove enough to get it to 8 ml. Then I add 1ml of each flavor to the water. I then pour the mixture into the sprayer, attach the top and shake well. Then I spray the SnusX portions with the mixture until it is all applied. After this, you put the can into the refrigerator for 3 days to soak in properly.

I did something a bit different this time. Instead of splitting my flavors into 1/2 ml mint and 1/2 ml vanilla I went with the whole 1 ml of flavor that I have been using for single flavored snuses for each flavor.

This will either turn out good or it will turn out bad.

I don't think the peasants will storm the castle in either case!

I'll let you know how it turns out in 3 days!
