    Hey there!

    Hey there! I've been looking around these forums for the past few days and finally decided to make an account and start posting. I'm fairly new to snus, as I recently discovered that it even existed, and so far, it has been a wonderful discovery!

    I guess you guys could use a little introduction and some sight into how I came across snus.
    I've been smoking for quite an while, and I've tried numerous times to quit to no avail. Well, a few days ago I walked into my local tobacco store and saw they had Camel Snus. I though, "What the hell, spitless dip? I'll try it." Little did I know it would only act as a teaser. I bought a tin, cracked it open, and was overwhelmed by a sweet, tobacco smell that kind of turned my nose. I popped one in regardless. What happened after is what made me want more. It tasted okay, but the rush was amazing. I was focused, calm, relaxed, and best of all - I DIDN'T want a cigarette! It was an hour before I even realized I still had it in. It made me want more. Something better than Camel. So I looked around and found a store near me that stocks General! Ever since, I haven't looked back. I'm 5 days smoke-free and it's all thanks to Swedish Snus! Unfortunately, the only snus in my area is General/Camel/Skoal/Marlboro (of which I'll only touch the Swedish goodness, of course) so I don't really have much of a chance for variety. I've tried General Wintergreen, Original, and Mint (all portion) and I liked every one of 'em! Maybe you guys have some suggestions on what kind of General I should try next? I'm looking forward to trying and finding snus that I really enjoy.

    Anyway, this looks like a great place and I look forward to meeting fellow snusers!
    Snus on!

    Your story is exactly the same as mine. Nice work on dropping the cigs. General was the first Swedish brand I tried, too. To be honest General Extra Strong Los and General Los are still my favorites. I like Ettan and Odens Extreme as well.

      Hey Radioactive! Welcome to SnusOn

      I highly recommend that you check out BuySnus.com for your online snus needs. They have a great selection, great prices, and great customer service.

      SnusCentral.com is another one (both sites are operated by the same distributor [MaKe Webo]).

      Oden's is my favorite brand, it's a peppery snus with a lot of nicotine kick (Extreme version carries 22 mg/g nicotine).

      Craisy GN bróðir is coming out with an even more Extreme version with more nicotine... But I think that's too hardcore for me!

      As for General, I recommend the Original. I also enjoy Mint (it makes for a good after-dinner snus).

      I hope you enjoy the site, and I look forward to reading your posts!

      PS -- Like you, I'm an ex-smoker. Snus saved my life. I wish you the best of luck in using snus to kick the habit!

        I've been looking at some of the nicotine contents and figure that I shouldn't go above 16 mg/g. I find myself using one portion getting over my craving perfectly fine, however, I have put in two at once and reaped the amazing benefits of giving my body more nictotine, haha. Thanks for the site recommendation and the warm welcome, by the way! I'm like a kid in a candy store on that site. Thunder Berry, Thunder Frosted, Oden's Cinammon? It all sounds so good!

          I love Oden's Cinnamon. It was my very first snus

          That, and Oden's Liquorice...

              Welcome to the site. Enjoy!!
              Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





              I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.
