    Quick Question

    Is it just me or do the white mini portions of General seem to run alot? Love the flavor thinking of ordering some onyx and Skruf next but the running is a little bit of annoying not too much though =)

    General seems to run more than other snus I use. Skruf Stark portion, one of my favorites, doesn't seem to run much at all. Skruf claims that the tea bag used to hold snus is designed to be dry and prevent excess juicing.

      No other white will ever run on you, General just seems to be a bit special that way. That is the whole point of whites, they shouldn't run.

      Gotta try Oynx. Even though it is a black bag, it is a white snus. One of the yummiest snus around and won't run

          I ordered two cans of Onyx for the first time. The smell from outside the can is very pleasant; unlike any other snus!

              Try skruf portions. They don't run much.

              Goteborgs rape too.

                I find that Ettan whites run.

                  This is probably a stupid question, but why wouldn't you want your portion to run? I love when it runs, I suck and chew on my portions to increase the run I get. Isn't "the run" how you get nicotine and flavor from your portion? If your portion doesn't run, don't you just have a tobacco filled pouch sitting up against your lip, doing absolutely nothing? Wouldn't you theoretically need "a run" to get the nicotine and flavor out from inside the pouch?

                    Some people like the juice, some don't. My wife uses white minis because the juice makes her stomach queasy (she just started though), I use the biggest loose prillas I can hold in my mouth, and I suck on 'em to get the juice. Sometimes I sweep pieces of pris onto my tongue and swallow them because I love the taste. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

                      You'll still get the nicotine through the mucous membranes in your mouth. That's the primary way nicotine is transferred. Like cocsp2002, I like the big flavor from a runny portion, or bits of tobacco in my lös. That's a big reason I don't care for white portions. They're too dry, and not enough flavor.

                        I read somewhere that the majority of the nicotine you get passes through your lip and gum, and the amount you get from swallowing is negligible...

                          But, if the portion doesn't "run" how is one to absorb nicotine through ones gums, if all the nicotine is inside the portion?

                            It still dampens and passes nicotine to your gums. If you could completely turn off salivation in your snus spot, that would probably reduce nicotine absorption significantly, especially with white portions.

                              Alright I refined my order a little bit:

                              2 cans of General Onyx

                              1 can of Skruf Portion

                              1 can of Goteburgs Rape No. 2

                              Very interested in the Goteburgs flavor compared to the rests.
