Am I just spoiled or what?

[czar]

I've been snusin' for over a month now. I don't even miss cigarettes. Due to finances I am out of swedish snus until my shipment comes (hopefully tomorrow). I have a problem though, I think I've spoiled myself and grown used to the good swedish brands. I've had Goteborgs, Nick and Johnny, Nick and Johnny West, General Onyx, Lucky Strike, Gotlandssnus, Jakobsons, and a few others. I wanted to order more earlier but I didn't have the money so I knew that I was going to run out this week. I have to use portions mostly because my job is one of those "tobacco free workplaces" I did my best to space out what I had but I still knew that I would run out, and I have. To my back-up reserve I have a bunch of Triumph, both types because I get free tins everytime I go to the gas station. I had been using the Triumph for like a dessert but only now that I am out of the good stuff to I realize how spoiled I really am. At home I do have what is left of a tin of Grov Los. I had even put it in the back of the list until I ran out of portions, thank God I have that for at home because this Triumph is really pissing me off. I have to double pouch it just to get the feeling I'm looking for but I am really sick of the "sweet, chew, peachy" flavor that it has. I feel like a fiend checking my mailbox for my shipment, its only been four days but I still thought there was a chance that it might show up today. I really hate that more places don't sell snus in the states and I hate it even more that Triumph is the brand that they are test marketing around here. I talk to a lot of dippers and non of them want to give up spitting for something like Triumph. I swear if they would all listen to me and order some good snus from Sweden they would have an entirely different opinion of snus. Triumph is good sometimes but I am just getting sick of using it as a primary. I guess to avoid this situation again I need to make an order every week until I build up an inventory. I even have to say that Vertigo is a better brand than Triumph. I can't wait until my tins show up, I have Nick and Johnny West, Goteborgs, General Sterk, and Skruf Sterk coming, until then I'm reluctantly double pouching this Triumph, its a little better than nothing I guess...

Well spoiled is when all you can order or seem to like is this.

Thats the $50 for 100 gram kardus i was telling you about.

I think its funny that i showed you this world and now you are into it as bad as i am. Hell i cant even go 10 minutes without a Pris or Pouch in.

wow. I guess I'm not spoiled in that sense but still, how else do I describe how I feel other than spoiled? Yeah snus goes right in with my routine now and it feels like I have to have one about every hour or two. I even wake up in the middle of the night and want to put one in, I don't, but it just makes me hit the fridge as soon as I get up though. My dreams are messed up anyways but now in my dreams there's almost always a part where I'm searching for my snus or loading my lips up with it.

Just do like most on here do.

I know you just got a new job man so when you get a pay check load up.

Buy a roll of your favorite and alot of others. Also make it a point to get some extra Los so you arent using all your pouches up. 50/45 Grams to 24 Grams is a big difference in saving money.

Then after you get enough put what you will use in the next few weeks in the fridge and what you will not in the freezer.

I doubt freezing will cause it to lose any noticable taste and its like ground beef in the since as long as you freeze it by the best before dates itll be good long after.

I am definitely going to get more los in the future and maybe even an icetool. I'm wondering if I used your tool and made a bunch of my los into some beautiful prises and put them in a separate tin if they would hold together, as long as I'm careful transporting them back to the fridge? I may use a lot more los that way if they are already made into pris form. It would just be easier to me to pop in a pris thats already made perfect ya know?

They would gradually fall apart. Why not just get some small tea bags and then come over here and pris your los into portions.

Or just get you an aluminum icetool. They are a little cheaper than stainless. Ever since ive had my icetool i love it. I do bake from hand from time to time but an icetool =

But pre-prising los and then transporting it will cause to flake i would imagine and certain snus' will hold up better than others but over all a bad idea.

Besides u can use an icetool one handed and its pretty fool proof. It would be almost just as quick to open a tin - dip in icetool- stick in lip and press the plunger.

Very easy to use. Plus youll enjoy when strangers ask you , " what the hell is that, r u shooting up? '

tha'd be cool. we could have a pris party. I'm sure with both of our knowledge for making small things like bowls we could make some good portions easily. Knowing my luck, I'd lose an icetool. Going to experiment with an old syringe tonight, wish me luck.

GL man. Besides dont you have a Birthday coming up? Ask for one.

Just hit me up when you want to come over and make some homemade portions.
