What happens to old snus?

[topdog82]

I found a box of about 6-7 diff snuses. There are at least 10 tins of miscellaneous snuses in here. I don't even remember when I bought them

The portions are dried out for the most part. I am thinking that they are a year or more old

What are some methods to renew the snus? Is it lower in nicotine content?

Easy enough to rehydrate, just dab a drop or two of water onto each portion, leave in the fridge for 24 hrs, and hey presto

do you know if the nicotine goes away?

Im guessing it will be a little less fresh in taste

Nicotine will reduce over time. Cold slows the process. I have frozen snus from 2007, and the nicotine is about as it should be, but a chemical analysis may show it's reduced.

I was going to put a slice of apple in it and throw it in the fridge for a bit

That would work too but it may taste a bit appley. What lx says RE nic is spot on, it does reduce over time but I have had frozen snus thats from 2009 and its still good.

I'd use distilled water, but by all means use an apple too ;-)

Ya I have snus that has been in my fridge/freezer for months. But this snus looks dried out. I put a portion in, and it felt wierd. It felt like I put dip in my lip. like not easy on the gums. I took it out in like 30 seconds
