General Onyx Smell

[Joshtimes]

I just popped open my can of general onyx and I noticed a very strange stench. Almost like a chemical windex smell to it. Anyone else ever smelt this before , or any clue what it is?

[fishmeat]

Is this your first can of Onyx?

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say it's the snus :^P

Specifically it's the citrus flavors, and/or some ammonia, especially if the snus is particularly fresh.

Once the can has 'aired out' a bit you should be good to go.

With ONYX, you can't go wrong, IMO.

Let it air out and enjoy!

ammonia ... same with snuff.....

The first time I've opened a tin of Toque I felt sick from the smell and later on started to air them on a sheet of paper (don't do that with snus, unless you want to dry the portions)

An ammonia cocktail is definitely something to pass up...
Or you'll definitely pass out!!

Nah, it's not bad for you. It's an integral component of many foods. In tobacco, it's a natural part of the aging process, and very freshly prepared tobacco will have ammonia. It dissipates over time, so if it really bothers you, you can air out the tin.

All of this is truth. Onyx does have a very strong smell at first.

Onyx is good and has a strong smell when first opened. Don't let it discourage you, its damn good.

anyone know how long white portion sus lasts out of the fridge for before it spoils?

[snusgetter]

Wow, I just googled Romanian Cocktail and ended up with this:

Romanian Traffic Police: Cocktail glass

Is this for real, precious?

It never really spoils, but it will dry out. Imo, it's better to just stick the snus in your mouth, and don't smell it if the smell bothers you. I try to avoid drying at all costs, and white portions are already too dry without airing them out even more.

You'll love that ammonia smell soon enough.
