Beginner snus - next steps?

[RRK]

Did anyone recommend the products from Snus Bruket? I think they are all supposed to be mild.

skruf always makes me feel sick, every single time. 8mg, 14 mg, whatever, it never ends well.

I guess it's the rose oil. It's one of the few snuses I know of that contain it. Snustest says that Retro did, and swedsnus shows that Knox does, although I think I remember reading on this forum that Knox does not, and Northerner doesn't mention it.

I read around a little last night. My impression is that rose oil goes in fragrances, and rose *water* in foods like Turkish Delight (it seems to be in a lot of Persian and other Middle Eastern food). I suppose it's no different from using bergamot oil, and afaik ppl *drink* that (Earl Grey tea). So I'm not saying Skruf is poisoning anyone, but maybe a small percentage of ppl have a sensitivity to rose oil. Again, this is just a wild guess, but it is (to me) the one obvious thing about Skruf that stands apart.

For my money, I like Skruf like mad, though I wouldn't want to use it all the time.

sleipnir,

I would suggest sticking with 8mg portions that have enough taste so you aren't switching them out every 30 minutes. A person that pops a portion in every 30 minutes is still going to get a lot more nicotine than the person that spaces them out to every 2 hours.

Snus Bruket/TillCe....they make Oomph and all that stuff.

[sagedil]

LOL, that's why. That's why. That stuff is just disgusting.

Can't stand it. Portions are small...dry....bland. I don't see any redeeming value in them.

[daruckis]

eh i liked oomph at first, but the more i used it the more i just wanted a regular moist flavorful snus.

I have tried a couple dozen brands of snus. skruf is the only brand I just do not like.

Well they are white mini portions and they get descent reviews on northerner.com so it seems like something the OP should try. I have never tried them but I love Oden's so my tastes aren't the same as the OP's anyway.

[sagedil]

They are unlike anything else. Not really snus as most would know it

Skruf Stark Portion is one of my if not my most favorite snus so far. Have yet to try any of the other Skruf but plan to on next order.

Skruf has never really made me feel ill. The only ones that do are Jaks Icefruit, and Catch Eucalyptus. I actually like both, but if overused, I get a nauseous feeling in my gut. So now I just use them as an occasional treat.

I started out with Lucky Strike original portions and Ettan original portions, which worked pretty well for me.

Try Ettan Lös!

Got my first can of this sat waiting to be tried

Get at least one can of los to play with. I chose Roda Lacket as my first los. I have used minis almost exclusively, because I was an ultralight smoker and minis worked best for me. The cool thing about los is, you can make a micro-hit of snus, even smaller than what is found in a mini. Just beware, because los could easily end up becoming your preferred snus.
