    Hello from Buffalo NY area!

    I was a smoker of many years, who then switched to vape when the craze hit a couple of years ago. While, I felt better vaping, I still questioned its negative effects, and slowly quit all together.

    Recently work has been more stressful than normal, and instead of going back to my old ways, I decided to give Snus a fair shot. I work a job from home, so something I can enjoy from my desk has been great so far.

    Years back when I was using primarily cigs, I had tired the slim packs of Marlboro's peppermint snus for easier indoor use. The flavor was fair, but it was a bit lacking overall. Last week I picked up a tin of Camel mellow snus, in hopes that would do the trick for my current situation. Again, the effect was a bit weak even with a now lower nicotine tolerance. Far worse, was the flavor, almost an artificial tobacco taste. (I'm guessing this relates to the way it's sweetened.)

    After some research, I discovered a couple of stores within 15-30 minuets of home selling General. I decided to start off with the white portions, and have been thoroughly impressed. I went back today, and picked out another can of white, and a can of mint to try. Both are great.

    Being someone who enjoys variety, I obviously wish the options were greater, but all the reading I do indicates these two are both fine snus products regardless. I'm considering an online order with Snus Central sometime in the next few days.

    Anyways, just wanted to get an account set up, and drop by to say hello. I look forward to getting to know everyone, in what seems like a fantastic community. Also wanted to give a shout out to Chad from Snubie, all of the videos are great and informative. The live YouTube sessions are quite entertaining as well.

    Take care all, and hope everyones work week is going well.

    Welcome to the forum mate!! Glad you found us.

    I have found that with snus having a variety is nice. The only problem is this involves online merchants which means additional shipping costs. The best way around this is to buy in quantity. That way the price per can (even with the shipping) is still very affordable. I would grab a roll of what you know you like and then throw in several different types to try. It will all keep well in the freezer so you can work your way threw it without anything going bad.

    Once you get a few standards you like you can then do big orders when the various shops have sales.

    Anyway, let us know what you try and what you find that you like

    Again welcome to the site! Make yourself at home
    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

        You might try a Tinder Box store if Buffalo has one. In Columbus, Ohio, they carry Jakobsson.

              Hello Joshhead, welcome to SnusOn. Here are locator pages for Swedish Match products in the Buffalo area. These locators are pretty accurate for my town, but you might wish to call the stores before you make the drive.
