All of a sudden I can't handle Swedish Match portion snus. I've been using them for years no problem. But a few days ago I popped a Grov OP and instantly got really bad hiccups to the point I had to take it out. It's not the nicotine either. I can handle huge gobs of ES loose no problem. I think I suddenly developed a reaction to the smoke flavor but not sure. I can use GES Loose no problem. I tried a GES WP and can't do it. It's very strange. I just opened a can of Oden's Ving OP and no problem. Been using lot's of different loose no problem. I'll have to keep experimenting I guess but it has kinda thrown me off. For years I've been loving the juice from SM portion snus and now my body is rejecting it. I have been slowly changing my diet to mostly real and healthy food so maybe there is something in their portions I just can't handle any more. Very strange

Very odd! Maybe your body only wants pure loose lol

It's just freaking me out a bit. If this can happen so fast, am I gonna wake up one day and not be able to use any snus

**lxskllr** · 08-08-12, 05:22 AM

Could be the smoke. I had a really bad experience once when I overdid smoked snus. I had hiccups, and was drooling like a St Bernard. I swallowed the drool, but it felt like I drank a liter of spit. I'd chillout on the smoked snus for a bit, then give it another try later.

Yeah I pretty much instantly make a shitton of drool and have to spit massive amounts and have bad hiccups. Then I have to take it out. Sucks such a waste. And I'll save it and put it back in a few and it starts again.

Take a break for about 5 days, and when you try it again, limit use to 3-4 prises/portions per day. I can use smoked snus, but I have to be careful with quantity. I'd prefer not to use it at all, but that's difficult, especially for my bergamot fix. I still have other brands of unsmoked bergamot lössnus, but when they're gone, that's it. I guess it'll be General for me. I don't even like General that much :^/ I'd also like to see more plain lössnus. I have some Pioneer, but that comes from Northerner, and Northerner doesn't come to MD :bangs head: I'll have to score it via private trade, and hope their 2 man operation stays in business...

Lx,

when it gets to be cooler weather.............you can have the pioneer shipped to me and I will shoot it to you (I will be glad to do it at any time......but the cooler weather might keep the snus fresh during the extra leg of shipping)

Snuffy

I think Lx is on to something with the smoke flavoring............thus I wouldn't panic ........just cause you break up with one girl.............doesn't mean you like dudes

it happened to me many times, and not only with SM portions, with many kinds of strong portions, it usually happens when I lower my dose and suddenly go on strong portions.

I wouldn't worry about the xtra leg of shipping SD. Everyone seems to be happy with everything I ship out and theres always an xtra leg. Just keep it sealed and frozen as soon as you get it. Then send ot off frozen. No problem at all.

I can order it for you also. I'm kind of set up for doing that kind of thing, if you know what I mean.

Yea they look like a small company. They will either succeed or fail. In any case..... I'd stock up just in case. We all know how it sucks when your favorite snus isn't made anymore. The Vogel Boys have been very kind to me with making limited editions when I was running out and finally putting it back on its full time list. Now its discontinued again. I bought a couple of years worth. I can start begging for a limited edition then. For the life of me I don't know why sales were down. Its a coffee snus...who doesn''t like coffee?

I keep mentioning to Dear Old Mr.GN to make coffee w/something snus 8mg. I can only imagine what his would taste like.

What do you mean by smoked snus?

Unlike american dip that is flu cured, swedish snus is air cured and pasteurized so it really does not have any smoke like flavor to it. If you ever took a whiff of Copenhagen you would know what a really nice hickory smoke aroma it has.

You can't get that with snus so some manufactures, and notably Swedish Match, add artificial smoke flavor to many of there brands. Grov, Ettan, General, and likely more have it. Some folks get odd reactions to it, including me, if done in excess. I think it just taste artificial and I burn out on it.

Some of my favorite brands that have gone off the market did not use any smoke flavor. Gellivare and Gotlands gul loose where in my opinion the best, cleanest tasting snus on the market, and they didn't have a hint of smoke in them. At the moment Skruf sterk is on top of the list, though there are some out there I haven't tried as northerner no longer ships to Wisconsin and snuscentral doesn't carry everything.

Perhaps someone can make a list of present day non-smoky snus

**Mr. Snuffleupagus** · 09-08-12, 04:24 AM

So I've been using Pioneer and Ving all day no problems. I've had a Probe Loose in for about 45 min now no problem. It's weird that just the portions with smoke flavor seem to affect me but loose doesn't. I guess loose doesn't juice up as much for me though. I'll try to stay off the SM portions for a bit and then see what happens.

**Mr. Snuffleupagus** · 11-08-12, 02:29 AM

Got the hiccup attack with an Oden's Original Portion today. Anybody know if smoke flavor is in it? It's not listed on the can.

WTF? Can't use SM portions all of a sudden!!!
