    Variety truly is the spice of life...

    I'm diversifying a bit - In terms of smokeless I've tried pretty much all Swedish Snus brands, some chew, a few dips and quite a few snuffs (& e-cigs and obviously cigarette tobacco, oh and a couple pipes). I received this lot today, to add a bit of variety to my cycle:



    I love having Oliver Twist on hand, especially the Royal and Tropical. And good that I can get it in the UK :-)

    Bit disappointed with the Nordic Ice, they're basically 4mg minis from what i can gather. I like the sweetness level though.

    The Stonewalls are just far too bloody sweet! The nic hit of these things is awesome though, forget the fact that they say 4mg, you get a much bigger hit than an 8mg snus. The 'natural' is my least favourite of the two, the Java is like a coffee with 10 sugars in lol. I want to try the Wintergreen, they were out of stock when i ordered but they have some now.

    Havent opened the Skoal snus yet, but i gather that for American snus, its the best (but still crapper than SS).

    The tobacco adventure continues...

      The Stonewall is insanely sweet, heaven knows what it does to your insulin (I needed to eat straight after lol) and I'm afraid so is the Skoal Snus. Far too sweet, and I have a sweet-tooth. I had to spit out the Skoal Smooth mint after 20 minutes. Just like Chad lol. I will be giving it another go but I'm afraid save for the Olly twists (not from US, obviously) - which i know i love - and nordic mint (just about bearable, albeit in mini format) it has been a big fail, and I've paid for the privilege lol.

      America, you produce awesome tobacco, and your dip and chew is unparalleled anywhere I know of, but snus... nah, leave it to the Swedes, it's in safe hands ;-)

      Edit: Ahhh Oden's Original, that's better...

        Hope you enjoy what you picked out mate. Oliver Twist is nice, but I don't know about the rest (from personal experience).

        I have pretty much limited myself to snus & the occasional sniff of snuff.

            I can tolerate the Skoal smooth mint. I used it exclusively for a while, as it's cheap here. I haven't seen Nordic Ice in a long time. A year or two ago I took a bus trip to Florida, and brought some of it with me. Big mistake. The flavor is nice but I couldn't feel any nic hit at all. To make matters worse, it was when all of those tornadoes hit the south. Stuck in the middle of the interstate, on a bus, with very little nicotine. I thought I was going to die.

              I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                Ah, yes... Skoal "Snus". I have tried Camel, Marlboro, and Skoal snus. My conclusion: Tea bag + Awful flavor = American snus.

                I much prefer copenhagen pouches at least I know I like the taste.

                That smooth mint caused my mouth to salivate horribly and gave me the hiccups.
