    Howdy folks. Some Advice please.

    I suppose I am a snus rube, I have been using camel frost snus for about a year now and really enjoy it.
    I have tried several different snus from Marlboro and Copenhagen and hated the flavor.
    Also other pouch sizes caused me issues because I don't have all my teeth so the large pouches tend to break open after about an hour of use.
    currently I use 5 of the small pouches at a time and I am useing one can a day.
    My question is this what snus would you suggest that has a similar flavor to camel frost snus with a much stronger nik kick and comes in the smaller pouches.
    I do apreciate your advice, I literally just found this forum this evening and have a ton of research to do.

    You might want to try General mint for a small kick or Thunder Frosted for a bigger kick. Also, consider the long portions. They are slightly longer and slender.

        Welcome to the forum. I think many of us came to snus via Camel so you are not alone.

        Assuming you are in the US, I would suggest reading a lot of the reviews on the forum. Then order a few cans of many different kinds that sound like you might like. Know that you'll be paying a lot in shipping plus it has to be signed for by someone 21 or older when delivered. The more cans you order the less each costs in shipping. After doing this a couple of times you'll probably find some you will feel comfortable ordering rolls (10 cans). Even if you don't like something keep it around in the freezer as a few months later your taste may change. Part of the fun is the hunt.

          Good advice, my tastes have done a 180 since I started using snus a few years ago! Used to dislike base tobacco snuses and preferred strong flavoured snuses, now I dig pretty much everything.

          Stevwp - remember to check the trade thread and like dpete says, read some reviews

            You might find this thread useful:

            Look at Post #2. This might be a good way for you to try out some different stuff without spending a fortune. He has mint and wintergreen available but you might want to try other stuff as well or just ask him to put together a sampler pack for you.

              Welcome to the forum mate

              My suggestion right off the top of my head is...............Thunder Frosted minis........they will give you a full kick but with mini sized portions.

              I also agree with what the others have said.............try a variety
              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

                  I just got a can of the long portion Thunder frosted, I cannot comment on the similarity to Camel, but its down right wonderful and it has a great kick.

                  I also like the thunder ultra strong for a serious kick!

                      Keep us posted on how you get on. Long time since I've had Thunder Frosted, but I do remember it being quite pleasant.

                          So is the mint, almost finished a can of it and its not too bad, nicer than the thunder frosted IMO as there is no burning drip, the sweetener is very noticeable though but it doesn't burn as much as thunder.

                              Man, this makes me look forward to moving to my apartment on Tuesday. My order with the various varieties of snus I've ordered will be waiting at my door when I get there. When school gets out that first day, I'll be snusing the night away Special thanks goes out to PP! Can't wait to try all these goodies!!
