    I think it's easier to quit snus than smoking.

      I have to agree. I went days without snus.

        I can relate. At first, my wife hard a hard time figuring out why in the world would I want to shove powdered, pulverized tobacco up my nose. I showed her the research and found it to be acceptable. Now it's a marriage made in heaven............with the snuff, that is....

Anyone have any good recommendations for a snus that is good for my Camel filter wide addiction? I was thinking I would like the fruit flavors a lot as I like shisha tobacco.

            I plan on ordering tomorrow. Any idea of the best site to order from as well. I've been on buysnus.com but thats about it.

            Nice to meet everyone!!!
            I too was a camel filter guy for a long time, then lights, then ultra lights. Finally a few weeks ago I discovered snus, best thing that ever happened to my smoking life. I put the smokes down last Friday and havn't looked back. I personally like granit and gov. Once in while just for a change of pace a little mint to freshen the breath, my wife loves this!! I like snuscentral. com but no matter what now shipping is costly. If you want to experiment a bit you can get a couple of sample packs, a grab bag of different brands and flavors.

              Since I've been snusing I've been a lot less ratty and no longer snapping at her for no good reason, which can only be a good thing. Because she's never had a tobacco habit in her life, she doesn't really understand, but I'm feeling a lot better abut the way I'm acting these days, because when I had the cravings I was horrible to be around.

              Nicotine is a cruel mistress, that's for sure.

                Hi, Im new to forums so i hope i post this right lol. I been using Camel SNUS for about 2 weeks now and decided to try Swedish snus. I have my first portion in right now. Its Jakobsson's Ice Fruit. I do find it better then camel but im not tasting any fruit. Is it one of those you have to get used to first? Also i noticed Swedish snus has a very different scent to it then camel. A good thing is i havent had any cigarettes since i started using snus

                  Welcome to SnusOn crook!

                  IceFruit has an undefined fruit flavor. It's not overtly fruity, but it blends with the mint pretty well imo. If you want something very fruity, try Göteborgs Rapé #2. That has a very distinct fruit flavor. In general, you'll be able to discern more flavor in Swedish snus as you use it more. The flavors have more subtlety, and take a bit more effort than the very synthetic American brands.

                    Thank you! I ordered a portion mix box. Most of it are ones i was wanting to try. I didnt get any Göteborgs Rapé #2 but i did get a Göteborgs Rapé.

                      Welcome to the board! It's great to have you. Jak's icefruit is an interesting snus I have on occasion. Reminds me of wrigleys gum. Did you order different brands as well? Feel free to open up a few cans and try them out. Part of the fun of Swedish snus is trying all the different brands/flavors. One thing you'll notice is the nic hit is alot more satisfying then camel. Have fun and keep us updated on how the real stuff is working for you.

                        Welcome to the forum mate!!

                        Try a variety and don't throw anything away. If at first you don't something stick it in the freezer and go back to it in a couple of months. Your taste will develop and change. Regardless enjoy the adventure and keep us posted

                          Welcome crookscomp. What Snusdog says is absolutely true. Tastes really change. Are you coming to snus from smoking or dipping or just entirely new?

                            Thanks for the advice guys. Im switching to snus from smoking. I smoked for 15 years but since i been using snus my cig cravings have gone waaay down. I still have the occasional cigarette but i have had this pack for awhile now.
