The morning Snus-erette....

[bmwgsa]

So far, my adventures in snusing have been a lot of fun.
Trying different types and flavors, I'm having a blast....

One of the major reasons I'm trying to keep with snus full time is to get off the smokes (and I know that several on the forum are doing or have done the same thing).

My biggest problem has been when I first wake up and have that cup-o-ambition. For years I had 1 or 2 smokes while sipping to try and get the old body functioning.

This morning, I decided to throw myself for a loop.

I made my cup, went to the freezer, pulled out a tin of Catch Dry Peppermint and without fanfare, poped it in....

Behold - the morning Snus-erette! Damn if that didn't work out as well or better than the smokes

IMO that first morning cup can't be beat with Nick and Johnny or Lucky Strike. I don't even really like Lucky Strike snus that much but it does go great with coffee, ditto for Grov.

I'll have to try one of those on the weekend.
I wanted to play it safe, so I picked a small tasty one

I remember one of the first mornings I used snus instead of another "nicotine delivery method." Back when snus still tasted salty and before my gums adjusted. I threw in a portion, relaxed on my couch, and after a few minutes felt that "ahhhh.." The relaxed focus and an elevated heart rate. That moment was somewhat of an epiphany for me, and I never went back to the old ways.

My favorite morning snus is N&J West.

Ettan with the morning coffee is also fantastic, especially if you take your coffee black!

After getting going with something strong I like Triumph original with my coffee.

Or just say heck with all of that, and pop in a couple of Elyxr Energy. Strong Nicotine and caffeine, all in one easy to use package. I am SO addicted to this routine now. Takes care of all of my needs before I even have my eyes fully open. By the time I am ready to leave the house, I have a bounce in my step and all is good.

My morning routine is a Skruf portion and a hot cup of green tea on my drive to work. I call it my morning "speedball". 8)

I always start the day with an Onyx portion and keep it in for two hours.

Onyx and I aren't friends yet...... A little too much for me right now....

I might go with the Ettan and coffee in the morning.....

Ah, descisions descisions.......

But Sage....c'mon man! Morning coffee! With snus! How can you skip that? Really, I'm asking.

Just hang in there bud, the time will come when even if you do have a smoke when you wake up... it just won't cut the mustard and you'll be left anchoring for some of that good stuff.

The way I always thought of it, and it helped me a lot during cessation of smokes, 1 portion = at least 4 cigarettes in terms of nicotine.
