    Another new guy

    Been lurking here for a while...

    I like many others found out about snus by buying a tin of the Camel then after a little research I found this place and discovered that you could buy real Swedish snus online. So far I've tried 11 varieties and only really didn't like one of them.. well maybe two.

    I have another order from Northerner on its way this week- one of each:

    Nick & Johnny, Strong Portion
    Nordströmmen Julesnus, Portion
    L.D Original, Loose
    Kronan, White Portion
    Knox, Loose
    Kronan, Loose
    Probe Whiskey, Loose
    Skruf Stark, Loose
    Tre Ankare, White Portion
    Skruf Original, White Portion
    Skruf Xtra Strong Loose
    Roda Lacket, Loose
    Göteborgs Rape No2, White Portion
    Gustavus Original, Loose
    General Ekstra Sterk, Loose
    General, Loose
    Ettan, Loose
    Catch Licorice, White Portion
    1847 by P. Morris, White Portion
    Goteborgs Prima Fint, Loose
    Goteborgs Rape, Loose
    Granit, White Portion
    Grovsnus, Loose
    Granit, Loose
    Gotland Yellow, Loose
    Gotland Grey, Loose
    02 Original Strong Portion

    My goal is to try them all! :P

    Oh, and you guys all rock! Every question I had about snus has been answered here already!

          I went back and forth between both.. I'd smoke for a while, then dip. I preferred dipping, but carrying a spit cup around the office and the painful gums kinda got old.

          I LOVE loose and have no problems baking a nice pris, but use portions at work.

          I found this place one weekend and read about Swedish snus and how to get a General sampler in the mail. After I got the sampler I decided I had to have a can of the loose, the next weekend I drove 60 miles to the nearest tobacco shop for a can and was hooked.

          My wife thinks I'm nuts, but agrees it's better than smoking.

            That's quite an assortment you have coming. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who gets a little carried away at Northerner. I'll have one of these, and one of these, oh and one of these, better get 2 of those...

            Just wait until you find a few you like, and then they go on sale. Better make room in the freezer.

              Damn dude you have 10 on that list I've never even tried once in almost 2 years. Namely the Kronans and Granits, Probe los, 1847, Catch, and the new Skruf ES. Tried Odens yet? Welcome!

                wow that is a hell of a list. I thought I had a good initial test selection, but that is a true sampler. You're gonna have a blast. Enjoy!

                  I wish I would have discovered this stuff two years ago. I really want to try them all and right now feel like I need to dive in with both feet and buy one of everything I haven't tried of off Northerner. I don't know what's going to happen with the PACT Act looming.... but I really do like the General Extra Sterk loose and if that were the only snus ever made I'd be happy with just that.

                    That's good because even if Pact does pass the General should still be readily available.

                      Welcome to Snuson redheadedmax.

                      Not much to add, you are trying new well. Just remember that your tastes will be so different 6 months ago, you gonna need to cycle through all again at east once, if not twice more this coming year. Don't assume anything with snus.

                        But now I'm thinking I would really miss my Skruf Cranberry with coffee in the morning. :cry:

                          I know how you feel. I been snusing only a little over a month, and I think I have 65 cans in my freezer. And there is still more i want to try. But, I am also settling on some brands and tastes, so soon, there will be many cans going on the exchange or in the box pass.

                            I'm planning on buying another 30 cans this weekend. My wife mentioned that I should go out and get a freezer. :P

                              I have just that. lol. Before I started using snus, we had to get an extra chest freezer because we changed our dogs diets to all raw meat. Our fridge freezer could not hold it all, and I really did not want the meat that the dogs LOVE (kidney's, hearts, uteri, backs, necks etc.... YUK, lol) mixing with the good meat. So we got a chest freezer.

                              So now the chest freezer is full of disgusting meats, and snus.
