From one noob to another

[Grim]

I have recently quit using american snuff ( COPENHAGEN ) and started using snus. The other day a guy asked me about the product which is now new and being sold at a store down the street. He was so amazed by the fact you do not have to spit and that its better for you in terms of tobacco.

But i must say this to anyone thinking of trying it and correct me if im wrong.

The flavor first hand is different and very satisfying. However, if you are an american snuff user it may seem it doesnt have enough flavor at first.

When you use american snuff you salivate more and thus must spit. Because of this you do get a more robust flavoring experience, IMO. This flavor however doesnt last long, usually 30-45 mins in most cases.

With snus its a gentle delivery of flavor but can last over 3 hours. It also has a nice tingle that lasts throughout the experience as well. And no need in spitting.

It took me a little while to get use to it but now its all i do. So to anyone reading this who is thinking of using snus to quit smoking/snuffing give it sometime and you will enjoy the nice nicotine kick and all of the great variety that is snusing.

I've only used white portions so far and get maybe 45 minutes per portion. I have to drink water constantly to get any real flavor.

i was a copenhagen man myself.

now im on my second order of snus and love it.(certain kinds anyway)

I agree with your observation. it is entirely different, but better at least in my opinion.

If you want more flavor from your snus, put it anywhere in your bottom lip and don't spit. Snus has plenty of flavor when used in the bottom lip, but I let the portion tone down a bit before moving it down there.

I also park my portions in my lower lip after they mellow. Helps to get the last bit of juice out of em

Hmmm,
I also toss it in lower lip. Is this just an american way? Sometimes i put loose in bottom also. What kinds are you using?

I have half a tin of cope in my refrigerator but dont think i will be finishing it since i have started Swedish.

I've recently discovered a great way to taste the snus in your top lip if you prefer to do it that way - it works best with lös because there is more flavour anyway, but also works with portions too.

Just puff your top lip up with air as if you're blowing your cheeks out (i.e with your mouth shut) and the air which comes back in to your mouth has tons of aroma in it. This also has the added bonus of keeping the lös dry for longer.

Yeah, thatdoes help to get some good flavor out of Los. I do it quite a bit.
