Hi, I've been reading the forums for a while now. I'm new to the site, but, I've
been using snus for a while now.
My first "snus" was Camel frost, I first tried it when I had the flu. I couldn't smoke
my cough was too bad. I had the tins in my fridge, from the free coupons they used
to send out. I figured I'd try it, and it worked for me. I was surprised it did the job
for me, for a few days. What I mean was that it took the edge of enough to not
smoke for a few days.
When I was well enough to go back to work though, and I was back to my normal
routine, I was back smoking.
Like I've read here many times, if it wasn't for Camel, I would have never discovered
the General. So there is something good about it. Marlboro "snus" on the other hand
is the worst thing I've ever had. I only tried the mild, and never again will I use it. I spit
the first one out after ten minutes. I tried a second one, and the same thing, the other
four went in the garbage, and I'm cheap, I never throw tobacco out. lol
OK, now I have a question for someone out there. Like I said, I now use the General,
I started with mini mint, I love the taste, and it was the perfect transition from Camel.
I've tried General White portion and I hated it at first, but now I've grown to like original
more than white. I also like Wintergreen and Mint.
The problem is that I feel that the mini mint tastes better to me(more salty to me) than
regular mint or wintergreen. The original I get the salt taste I like too.
Now, this is the weird part for me, and I was hoping someone could explain this
to me or has noticed the same.
I am still a smoker, and I roll my own, without filters, so I need a good nic hit.
My problem is that feel I get a better nic hit, or maybe more consistent nic hit, from mini mint
than off regular portions. Sometimes I do get a good nic hit off regulars, but
not always. I always can feel the nic hit from the mini's.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? I know the PH levels make a big difference
in the usable nicotine. I don't yet totally understand exactly how the PH levels work.
I have to add that I do take medication that dries out my system, especially my
mouth and gums, could this have something to do with it? I am always drinking water. I hesitated to ask
because I know it sounds back asswards, but I have tried to figure it out and
I can't. I know regulars have twice the nicotine, any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
RYO
