    Well.. I am brand new tho this site
    Like many here in the states I would not know the wonderful world of Snus without this Camel brand. Although it was not the first kind I used. I was a Cope dipper for about 2 years but i am in school to be a Paramedic/firefighter and I can not be spitting all the time.
    A friend is very much into snus and he always would give me pouches just to try... I honestly have no Idea what kinds I have tried but I know that although I found some appealing much more than others.. I really have not come across one I thought was bad!
    I went for a while just giving him a few bucks her and there and he would throw a bunch of different kinds into a can so I could try many kinds.
    Well lately he has stopped and says I should do my own exploring and shopping and I have agreed. well Camel was the easiest to get. So I have used this camel frost for some time now.
    It was a great kind. I am sure there will be times of still using the camel frost but with an exploratory order on its way from Buysnus... =D
    I really feel that the use of Camel will be shallow compared to using real Swedish snus. (it just doesnt kick like the kind I was given by my friend)
    I thank Camel for introducing me to this world.. I have not bought a can of Cope for more that 5 months (I didnt quit it cold turkey it took some time but im quite proud to be done with Cope)
    I am excited to explore more into the world of snus and I do think Camel frost will still be a factor in my snus use even when I do get into my Swedish snus. Just not as big a factor.

    Great stuff!!

        This was horrible! It smelled like Wrigleys spearmint gum and I hate that smell and taste. I don't like anything with the word frosted attached. It all tastes just like Camel Frost.
        The mellow was better IMHO

          I bought 30 tins of this stuff for $20 from a friend who owns a store. After using it for about a week I could no longer do it. It is too sweet, has a very weak nicotine kick and the flavor becomes nauseating after prolonged use.

          I managed to give away whatever was left but two tins and they sit in the back of the freezer and probably will for a very long time.

          The only good thing about it is it introduced me to the wonderful world of Swedish snus.

            Camel Snus was my gateway to real snus, but I used it for a long time as they were practically giving it away, and it is a discrete tobacco product but causes some heartburn with extended use, unlike real snus (not counting double-barrelled General Mini Mints). So disgustingly sweet it was nauseating. I probably won't ever use it again unless I can't get the real thing.

              This is my first snus experience. Although it does not compare to the "real" stuff, it holds a special place in my heart for introducing me to the world of snus.

              I heard others say that it's weak and lack the nicotine, I find it flavorful and does curb my smoking addiction. This what made me quit smoking in the first place.

                I promised my Grandfather that I would quit chewing tobacco and snuff, but when I found out about snus, my prayers were answered. Although Camel Frost isnt the best snus in the world, it saved me from my nicotine fits and let me use tobacco (takes the edge off). What I really miss is Triumph mint. That was the shiznit.

                  Like many people camel SNUS ws the first I tried. I never really cared for it but I used it to cut back on smoking. I had to put four of them in to get anything, but I am glad I tried them because they are what got me interested in snus. If I hadn't tried them I might not be enjoying Catch Eucalyptus as I type this.

                    Since I have no snus and am getting back into it, I picked up a tin of Camel Frost (~$4.30). The flavor is not too bad. It is sweet and the minty taste is alright; it reminds me a bit of J's Icy Fruit. However, nicotine release is pretty bad: I need to fit two to get any sort of fix. Lasts about 30 minutes before the flavor suddenly disappears. Definitely needs to be more alkaline.

                      I think this crap is marketed purely to American smokers as a way to curb their cravings between cigarettes in light of all the recent anti- smoking legislation. My theory? Camel's main profits are off of their cigarettes, thus they would never attempt to make a product good enough to steer people away from smoking their cigarettes. Instead they make a pleasant tasting product with a very slight hint of nicotine that their smokers can use to curb cigarette cravings when they are in locations where they cannot smoke.

                        They say as much in their advertising of it. At least they did when the ads first came out.

                          When I first tried Camel snus, it was after dipping nothing but Grizzly for 4-5 years. For me, I was unable to even tell that I was getting any nicotine, but I became interested and looked into snus, and then found the real Swedish Snus. Ever since then, I've been dip free & camel free, and I play to keep it that way.

                          However, I did find the aroma of Camel frosted portions to be quite nice. I wasn't much of a fan of the taste though. It was way to sweet.

                              Take the nice tins and use them to store small things in. Start breeding worms and feed the portions to the worms. Then take the worms and go fishing. Its a win win imo.
                              Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                              I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.
