    mysmokingshop ships all over the EU, i didn't think Oliver Twists had a very big range, i could be wrong.

      It's really strange that people find that it's not strong enough or that it tastes foul.
      I'm only using one at a time and I'm pretty impressed. I've always been a sterk snus user and these are satisfying me beautifully. If I need more nic I just chew ever so slightly.

        It seems to be difficult to get the full range. To be honest they're all basically the same taste anyway - liqorice.

          I agree.

          Frosted, i may have got less nic as i just let it sit there - i didn't chew on it so much.

            Oliver twist is a product I have used several times. I used the original (fire-cured, you have been warned ), the royal (wonderful liquorice taste), tropical (aniseed), arctic (mint & liquorice) & bergamot (liquorice). Basically, frosted's point about liquorice is valid. I, however love liquorice, and cold quite happily substitute snus for Oliver twist. But!...I'd get thru 3/4 of a pack a day, and a pack costs £4. My snus costs m £1.50 a day, so I'd need to fork out more.

                  just found out the sugar content - it ranges depending on the flavour from 0.01 g to 0.06g in each pellet.

                  I started using these at 05.30 and have used 6 of them. It's one an hour for sure.....so if I'm awake for 18 hours in a day that's 18 tins a month at £4.00 a tin = £72.00 a month,

                  so yeah it's expensive but not nearly as expensive as smoking. It's an extra £30.00 a month over snus - but it's there if we need it. That's a maximum figure though.

                  It would cost me £156 a month to smoke - and that's working it out at only £6.00 a pack.

                      Hey Frosted

                      They have some twists over at Mr. Snuff that look a little more substantial than Oliver Ts

                      Lx just did a whole reasearch thread on them (they come in two sizes #5 and #7 one is bigger......I can't remember which)

                      They might be a bit better than the OTs or maybe not....still it's worth checking out

                      Maybe Lx can pop in and shed a bit of light

                      Anyway here is the page from Mr Snuff
                      https://mrsnuff.com/store/chewing-to...f0dc219392aef4

                      here is one of the products

                        You know.......it might be worth writing to one of these twist companies.............and let them know of the potential migration from snus to their product..........and would they mind making a product that is less sweet and more natural in flavoring to appeal to the snus users who can no longer get snus in the EU

                          That's a good shout Dog.
                          I've been looking at them but not quite knowing what I'm looking at.
                          You see, I'm concerned about TSNA content and I know for certain that Oliver Twists have been tested at 1.5 as opposed to snus at 2.2. If the TSNA content is known to be low I'd certainly have a go.
                          I also do NOT want to spit.

                            If you go to http://www.oliver-twist.dk/Webnodes/...range/Original the login is 2222 and fill in the form telling them that you'd like natural tobacco and how difficult it is to get Swedish Snus etc.

                              Here is Lx's original thread on it.....it might be a good place to start..............Also Dave at Mr. Snuff might also be able to help you find the answers to some of your questions...............shoot him an email from the contact info on his site

                              Anyway....the thread

                                I haven't gotten the Grimm and Triepel yet, but I'll definitely review when I get them. Frosted, I can't vouch for chew outside of America, but the American brands are uniformly low in TSNAs. That might be typical worldwide due to the processing methods, but I don't know.

                                LoL Vulpes. I like your flavor descriptions. Oliver Twist. Available in any flavor you want as long as it's licorice :^D

                                They're tasty little things, but the little is my problem with them. It's like there's nothing there. I'd like them to be a bit bigger. Double or triple the size would be good imo.

                                Edit:
                                The point I was trying to make regarding American chew TSNAs, is American companies don't care about that. It's not like they're trying to keep them low. That's why I think it may be common due to the process, and any moist chew would be similar, but I don't know that for fact.
