    I quite enjoy the perfume heavy ones, once a day.

      I could never use snuff instead of snus. Well... I could, but I don't think I would. I've used it here and there, but my throat gets filled with the stuff, and I have to clear through out the day to get all the snuff and snuff induced phlegm out. And that's just from one or two pinches... If I didn't snus, I would have to take pinches every half hour or so. I can't imagine how my nose and throat would be like.

      Am I doing it wrong? I bet some of you will say that I inhale the stuff too hard, but I just gently sniff it. But it still travels down to my throat.

        That was the same problem I had - no matter how gently I snuffed it went right to my throat and chest. I hated the nose mess too.
        Last year I snuffed and only snuffed for two days and started to feel pretty bad, then realised that I was in nicotine withdrawal. You need to use a heck of a lot of it to keep up your nicotine habit - even using the supposed strong brands.

        If I did it again I'd stay away from the dusty Toque and Wilsons and go for the coarser brands - I think from memory Fribourg and Treyer was very coarse.

          That's the one thing I'm worried about. Not enough nicotine. I think I might just stick with both. I do love the snus.

            Quitters never win, and winners never quit.

              We're not quitters, we're switchers!

                I love the snus as well but I have no problem going for stretches between snuffs and do not have a missing nicotine issue. All I did was refuse to use snuff and snus at the same moment. One or the other as to not jack up my tolerence and pretty soon I was just using snuff.

                  That's probably where I went wrong. 99% of the time, when I take a bump, it's right before or right after putting in a new portion.

                    Don't know why, but I read the last half as women never quit at first.
