    Thank you all!

    Hello,

    I've lurked this forum for about a month now. It has helped me tremendously. I've been smoking 30+ ciggs a day for over 20 years. I recently quit for 6 weeks using e-cigarettes but had to stop using them because I never got my dose quite right and ended up OD'ing a few times. I have since decided to diversify my tobacco usage to find something I could replace the ciggs with. I bought a couple pipes, cigars, snus, and snuff. I have cut down the ciggs quite a bit mostly from using the snus. I just got my second snus order today and am using loose snus for the first time ever right now. I have about 20 different cans of snus and have really been enjoying them all except for the Camel snus which doesn't compare at all. I have also really enjoyed reading this forum, so thanks to all who post here. And a special thanks to Tropical Bob for posting about snus on the e-cig forums otherwise I might not of ever heard of the stuff. Here's a joke I liked from another forum.

    Two rednecks decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead.
    The first went in to see the counselor, who told him to take math, history, and logic.
    "What's logic?" the first redneck asked.
    The professor answered, "Let me give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?"
    "I sure do."
    "Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor.
    "That's real good!" said the redneck.
    The professor continued, "Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also own a house."
    Impressed, the redneck said, "Amazing!"
    "And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife."
    "That's Betty Mae! This is incredible!"
    The redneck was catching on.
    "Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual," said the professor.
    "You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thing I ever heard! I cain't wait to take that logic class!"
    The redneck, proud of the new world opening up to him, walked back into the hallway where his friend was still waiting.
    "So what classes are ya takin'?" asked the friend.
    "Math, history, and logic!" replied the first redneck.
    "What in tarnation is logic?" asked his friend.
    "Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weed eater?" asked the first redneck.
    "No," his friend replied.

    "You're queer, ain't ya?"

    Welcome to the forum Mr. Snuffleupagus, I am glad you found your way to snus.

    Don't overstress yourself about quitting cigarettes. Myself, like many people, didn't really plan on quitting when we started using snus, it just happened. Over a month, i just started to like the snus so much more, one day, I just stopped buying cigarettes

    So what snus that you have tried have you liked the most?

      Hard to say right now. The first one I tried was the Camel Frost because they sell it at my local store. I'm not big on sugar so didn't like the flavor. It did give me a decent nic hit since my body was not used to snus yet. I read on here that everyone thinks it's too weak so my first order was mostly white mini portions (I probably should have just ordered the womans sample pack LOL):

      Tre Ankare White Mini Portion
      CatchDry Licorice Mini Portion
      CatchDry Eucalyptus White Mini Portion
      Göteborgs Rapé White Mini Portion
      General White Mini Portion
      Wise Citrus / Menthol
      Wine & Chef White Mini Portion

      Out of those I like Göteborgs Rapé and Tre Ankare the best. I also got some regular and stronger stuff in my first order:

      LD regular portion
      Skruf Stark Portion
      Nick and Johnny East, White Portion

      I like all of those as well I but have been using the minis more because I like to chain snus so far. I new that I would use more regular and strong as I go on so the order I got today includes:

      General Onyx Premium Portion
      Claq Qui, Strong Portion
      Röda Lacket White Portion
      Grovsnus White Portion
      Ettan Portion
      Lucky Strike Original Portion
      Grovsnus Portion
      Kronan Original Portion
      Röda Lacket Loose

      I have tried only once so far Röda Lacket Loose, Lucky Strike, and have an Ettan in right now. So really I have liked them all so far but would have to say my right now favorite is Lucky Strike Original Portion.

        There is never a wrong or right way, it's always just a tad different for everyone. But it is good you are liking the more traditional stuff Lucky Strike Whites are a top 5 of mine.

        I love both the Onyx and Claq Qui, I just tried the 2nd my last order and it's already in my top 5 You have an amazing journey of snus discovery still ahead of you, enjoy!!
