I Need To Chill Out

[lxskllr]

I was just looking at my past Buysnus orders, and going with a rough count I have about 230 tins of snus in my freezer :^O I hope the snus makers don't come up with yet another brand I /have/ to have :rolls eyes:

Damn. I thought I should chill on my snus orders and I have a whole twelve tins. You really should chill. Or not. Whatevs.

How long would it take you to get through all of those if you stopped ordering snus today?

That much snus would take me like a year and a half or something to go through.

I'm not sure tbh. I always have several cans open at a time, so it's hard for me to keep track. I would estimate 1 tin of lös, and 1 tin of portion per week.

:shock:
Is there some sort of apocolypse or collapse of civilisation approaching that I'm unaware of and if so, will you take a check?

Demon: "You definitely need a roll of that!"

Angel: "Wouldn't it be best to actually try that variety first?"

Exactly my situation.!!!! My freezer stock depends on which one I'm hearing at the time of order.


Torn between the two.

Wow, I felt bad cuz I ordered another 10 tins today, and I still have 9 sealed tins and 1 open tin at home in the fridge. Now I don't feel so bad.

230 cans would even last a chainsnuser like me nearly 2 full years.

lxskllr, I'm surfing around german snus-forums a lot and you find fellow snusers there, who are snusing for 20 years (Swedish Match did some promotion in the 80's in Germany, at that time I unfortunately believed the bogus-propaganda by the anti-tobacco-workers). I never read, that anyone has frozen snus for more than a year, so I'm really not sure, if your snus will still be useable after so long time. I only once read a posting by someone, who has found a two years old totally dried snus, that was still useable after some 'remoistening', but dried food stays edible much longer than frozen food.

I guess, in two years you'll be the only snuser on the world, who really knows if snus can be frozen for so long time. I can only hope that you won't have to throw away half of your stock.

I made the mistake to order a half-years-supply, when I was new to snus. Snus that is 3 months past the expiration date is still useable, it doesn't taste bad, even if it was only kept in the fridge, but it's no way the same as fresh snus. I won't make that mistake again.

Anyway, good luck with your stock, but if I were you, I wouldn't stock up anymore, at least not full rolls of new brands.

Cheers!

lxskllr, LOL, you make me feel better. I had 60 or so tins in the freezer, now down to about 27 with about 8 or 9 in my fridge. I just ordered 15 more cause I had to try all the new great stuff that is out.

But I think 60 is my limit. That is about a 4 month supply for me, and gives me all the variety I need. Besides, I need to keep some room in the freezer for actual food. :lol:

I will say in lxskllr's defense, that us American snusers have to wait 7-5 days for delievery. Now does that mean we need 200 cans in the freezer? Thats not for me to judge. I do feel that when you get a hair up your ass for a certain kind snus, and you don't have any on hand it really blows. For example, I got 1 can of Grov in my very first order. I forget to get any in my second order. Now I am really jonesin for some right now. I made a 3rd order a yesterday and included 3 cans of Grov among others. I like trying new brands, but don't ever want to be without some General, Grov, or Ettan on hand. So now I am getting stocked up on my "meat & potatoes" snus. Just my .02.

look at it this way. If you have to you can give away some tins for presents to family/friends who use snus. Thats what i would do if i had any that was going to go bad because if i cant use it id rather someone else use it instead of chunking it in the trash.

That's exactly it. I have every kind of snus I could want in my freezer, and I don't have to wait for shipping. I could throw a bunch of it out and still be ahead of the game compared to my handrolled smoking habit. I used to spend $15 per week on American Spirit loose tobacco. That's about 2 rolls of snus per month, or 24 rolls per year to be even money. It would be a shame to have to throw some out if it went bad, but I can chalk that up as the price to pay for convenience. I also have some that I won't be getting again, at least not in roll form. It's a learning experience, but I'm fine tuning my snus choices as I go.
