I've been taking the Consumer Panel Online smokeless surveys and a recent one was about an ad for Timber Wolf Wintergreen "moist snuff". The ad was saying you don't have to spit the juices. Swedish Match sent me two cans to try and do a follow up. The instructions say to make sure and upper lip it and that you don't have to spit. Got one in now but I'm kinda afraid to swallow the juice. Anybody know anything about this? The can has a catch lid built in like snus. The pouches are super juicy and HUGE! 15 pouches at 23.25g. So 1.55g each. It's actually not that bad for a sweet wintergreen. Anybody try these? You think it's snus?

Hope I don't get sick off this stuff I already feel like crap today. -
Must be a snus product that is aimed at the dip market. Dip users may well be less bothered by large lumps in the lip than those used to conventionally sized snus portions. If Swedish Match says you can swallow the juice then I wouldn't worry about it. That's not to say it will agree with any particular person. Can't say that about snus either.Comment

Hope you feel better, Snuffie. I would wager it is dip but SM seems to be doing something here. They are trying to get dippers use to the idea of upper lipping. Since I discovered snus the random times I've used dip I've put it in the upper lip which cuts the need to spit - though it is less "juicy" that way. As having a full beard I don't care for spitting. One mis-spit equals a beard full of dip juice. I also remember reading a short time ago that SM was going to put catch lids on all their North America dips. As for swallowing I wouldn't worry much about it.Originally posted by Mr. SnuffleupagusComment

Yeah I have a full beard too and it's really long. Gotta be careful!
I wish it was snus like swedish but I think your right. It's probably not steam pasteurised. Would be nice to be able to buy a more local snus product that doesn't suck.
It did not make me sick. It juiced a lot at first and I did spit quite a bit. Then it settled down. I think I swallowed enough to make me sick if it was regular dip or chew though. Not sure what it really is.Comment

What was your interpretation of the nic hit?Comment

I only tried it once so far, but it seemed kinda weak. Maybe ok at first but I think it tapered off faster than my snus. I'll have to try it more to really tell though. Maybe I should try one without initial spitting.Comment

I wish it wasn't sweet!Comment

Ok got another one in. Not spitting. Doesn't seem to be bothering me really. It's got an initial burn and maybe a little bit of throat irritation. Nic is hitting decent for now. Tastes a lot like Jakobssons Wintergreen.Comment

I guess they are alright but not my thing. Just too sweet for my taste. If anyone wants them let me know. I got a sealed can and one missing 2 pouches.Comment

I wouldn't mind trying it but am not a fan of wintergreen. BTW, I took a look at the Timber Wolf website and it says part of the production process is what they call "small batch fermentation". It is certainly dip.Comment

Ok. Got your message. I was under the impression this is a new product but it very well could just be marketing. I would think I'd get sick from dip but i've only tried it once over 20 years ago and did get sick. I tried some Red Man a few years ago and it hit pretty damn hard even with spitting. So who knows.Originally posted by dpeteComment

I would be interested in trying it since my main snus is jakobsson's wintergreen, just let me know and I'll pm you my address.Originally posted by Mr. Snuffleupagus
I did recently try the Grizzly witergreen pouches, the pouches are huge but its still good for an occasional dip. I normally snus and dip in my bottom lip but didn't have to spit the grizzly as much as I thought.
Just let me know whats going on with the timberwolf.
ThanksComment

These are dip unless something has changed in production recently. With Camel snus you would think that they all would be on the move for expanding their brands with "healthier options"...Comment
