    Introduction

    I figured I would post an introduction since it seems everyone in this community is nice. I am a new snus user on accident, I was a dip user and bought a tin of camel snus and immediately switched to snus because of the benefits. I work in retail so I can't dip at work but I can snus and no one knows. I eventually started looking up snus info online and found about its history etc. Then figured I would try and find General, so now I have been using General Mint for close to 6 months now.

    Welcome to the peanut gallery, enjoy your stay.

    If you like General Mint you should try Jakobsson's Mint and Oden's Cold when it becomes widely available.

      Welcome to the forum mate

      Check out some of the online sellers and get a sample box. That is a good way to get an idea of the range of snus out there.

      The shipping can be a little high but later on when you know what you like ordering in bulk will help this. Regardless it is still less expensive than dip (especially when you do the cost per gram of tobacco)

      Anyway, welcome and let us know if you find some other brands you like.
      When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

        This is the exact route I took to find snus haha, you'll find (if you haven't already) that snusing the real deal is no comparison to American "snus"...I got Skruf Tranbar (since I love cranberries), General Mint and a can of Thunder too for my firsts, and realized that using Camel Snus was about as effective as sticking a Lipton tea bag in my lip...Welcome to the REAL side of snus!...and the forum..

          Yeah, the camel stuff at least tries to mimic, they supply the refrigerator and does at least put expiration dates on the tins. Whereas Marlboro "Snus" doesn't do either.

              Welcome to Snuson. I agree, Jaks. Mint is way better than Generals.

                    Yeah, Thunder Cool Mint is on the list to try. I been also trying to get General Onyx cause that seems like something I would like.

                      Oh man I love Onyx, it's just so expensive! One of my all time favorites though.

                        Oh great, now I HAVE to try and get some. I made an account on northerner(maybe a different site)just to buy a can but then I saw the shipping and nearly choked. It was gonna cost 28 bucks for shipping. I don't think I want to spend 35 bucks on a single tin, and then be disappointed.

                          You won't be disapointed. Buy a half roll, and get a half roll of Thunder or Jaks. Then it won't feel so bad. I miss the old days of cheap shipping. Damn you PACT! If your not happy with the Onyx, I'll trade you for it, 4 cans for 7. I have faith you will love it though.

                            Well if you use General, I have easy access to Mint, Wintergreen, Mini Mint(which I currently have in my mouth), Loose, White, Original, and Nordic Mint and classic blend.

                              I meant if you ordered Onyx and didn't like it I would give you something else for them. I only have one can of Onyx now, and it's not with me. (I work out of town). I need to order some more for myself as well.
