POLL: How do you freeze your snus?

[CzechCzar]

Responses appreciated!

[Frankie Reloaded]

I use bags /no vacuum/, but if I get a full roll in the tight plastic sleeve, I just freeze it as it is. I suppose it is sort of airtight

[whalen]

I like to remove each individual portion and vacuum seal them that way, it pisses my wife off some thing fierce, amuses the cat, and gives me something to do everyday now that GN has forsaken us. But, if you have OCD, it's a win win scenario.

Now for Los, things get weird, I like to make an even number pile of prillas, then subdivide them depending on which side of my lip I intend to use it, That parts hard, because i have the attention span of a Nat. So, I photo document the whole process and take detailed notes. Each prilla has a natural right and left end too, so that has to be accommodated. I am still trying to decide to place them in the freezer by purchase date, or expiration date.

I remember when I 1st tried freezing snus just tossing the cans in the freezer and that didn't go too well but then someone on here said it was better to put it in freezer bags so now I either put the cans in ziplock bags or at least put them in a big freezer bag and make sure the top is folded over. I find the snus fairs a lot better that way.

Ziploc freezer bags. I only press the air out by hand as far as it is useful for storage.

Due to the latest escapades of the Brussels dictatorship I use a method of storage keeping that is very unusual for perishable products:

FIRST-IN-LAST-OUT

Yes, I still have some cans of SM/Gotland/Skruf/F&L in the freezer that are up to two years old. I strictly ration them. Looks like I'll open a can of Ettan Lös for Christmas this year and a can of Skruf Stark Portion for New Year's Eve, then maybe next year Gotland Green for Easter.

This is what the EU has brought us! We are rationing consumer products like the grandparents did in the war - while the Brussels nomenclatura drinks Champagner and sniffs lines of coke - all from our taxes.

Yeah, weird, I wanted to write a humorous post and it's again an anti-EU-rant. I should take to heart what someone in a German forum wrote a few days ago. I'll translate it: "Those subhuman beings are not worth to get upset about." Of course, the EU-bureaucrats were meant.

Cheers!

In the freezer?

I just throw it in. Two years later and it tastes just fine.

I vacuum seal each roll and sometimes do small (3 can) variety packs. Once I open the vacuum seal bag the rest of the roll goes in ziplock freezer bags. My 2 year old snus tastes brand new

OK who picked PP's special sauce?

[muddyfunkstar]

For portions I just bung 'em in. No problems.

Loose, I found to be better if kept in a ziploc freezer bag, but never bothered to suck the air out. This was loose in plastic cans, not the cardboard SM cans - they might need more care.

[muddyfunkstar]

The true test to whether vacuum sealing actually offers any benefits is to get two cans from the same roll, and freeze one can vacuum sealed, and one can unsealed, for the same amount of time, and to test both cans at the same time.

In bags, sorted by flavor. My sorting isn't very strict, but I try to keep strong flavors isolated. I like mint and licorice, and I keep those together. Mint and licorice taste fine together, but can flavor plainer snuses. I bought a bunch of General lös from Clubsnus when they went under, and apparently they were stored with wintergreen snus. The General had a wintergreen profile D^: Three years later, and I can't taste it anymore, but I'd rather not wait that long.

I use all mine within 6 months of purchase so I just toss it in the freezer, if I were thinking about storing it for a year or more, I think I would bag it, and if I was thinking about 2+ years I think I would take the air out.

I have never had a problem with even 9 month old snus from my freezer.

Apparently PP tastes delicious?

I'm picturing all of this done in the style of "Memento" where you've tatooed instructions all over yourself and written notes on polaroids.
