folding portions

[gearboy666]

ive been folding my portions in half so they are more tube shaped, and i think they fit ok, with a little minor irritation sometimes. im just wondering if portions are meant to go in unfolded and just placed in the upper lip.

I fold'em seam on the inside.

EDIT: ib4 Snusdog comes in and says something about portions and tampons.

I've always folded my portions lengthwise, except minis. I also fold the seam on the inside after evening and flattening the portion. I've done this so many times, however, it only takes five seconds or less.

Hey, whatever works for you. I rarely don't fold them but others hate the feel of a folded portion. If you have the space up there it can make portions more discrete. I also think a folded portion (especially a white) releases the nicotine a bit slower than an unfolded portion.

sounds good to me. as long as i get the buzz, thats what counts to me.

I fold em because if I don't the portions tend to slid down to the gum line, which is probably no a good thing, especially for those of us that have had a few gum problems.

[gearboy666]

well, i started folding them because then they more closely resemble the camel frost snus you can get in the states (not snus btw) and soon it just became habit. i have a thing about the portion sitting there sitting so people can see it cover a tooth partially. not always the most comfortable, but it works. i just cant wait for my first can of thunder frosted because thunder berry makes me sick to my stomach. i was always a menthol smoker so the minty snus just makes sense.

Good point, stubby. I know this has been discussed on here before but I don't remember the exact thread. I've been folding portions and keeping them above the gum line for a long time and I've had no gum recession or other gum problems.

I fold them but not until I have had it in my lip for a while. It might be my imagination but it seems like the tobacco shrinks a little bit or the bag stretches or something.

[NorSnuser]

I don't think it's your imagination, RRK. I've noticed the same thing. I can play with a portion in my mouth to reposition it and refold it with my tongue. The portions do seem to change once they've been in your lip for a while.

I never fold. I just throw them in. I don't keep mine in my lip though. They're all over my mouth, so folding wouldn't work so well.

[sagedil]

Exactly for me as lxskllr said.

I fold lengthwise sometimes.
