Hello everyone, sorry for the long post, but it is my first and I thought I'd introduce myself and give a brief history 
My name is Bryon. I'm 25 years old and have been smoking since I was 16. Recently, I became absolutely sick and tired of smoking but I have always had a fascination with tobacco. I enjoy cigars, but cigarette smoking and cigars do not mix as you can't taste the subtleties that everyone raves about. I messed around with American chew in high school and really, REALLY enjoyed it but my girlfriend (and now wife) at the time did not appreciate it as much as I did, so I respected that and stopped.
I heard about Swedish snus about a month ago. I did a lot of research on it and I thought, "Man, this stuff sounds perfect!" A guy at work happened to have a tin of Camel Mellow and I gave it a try and absolutely loved it. I finished up my last pack of cigarettes and went to the tobacco store and picked up a tin. Then, the guy from work and I went halfsies on 20 assorted cans from Northerner.
They arrived yesterday and, although they are all quite different from Camel, I am enjoying them immensely!
I have not smoked a cigarette since Sunday (the 15th) and have never felt better.
The cans I got from northerner were:
5 cans of Grovsnus Los.
1 can of Catch Eucalyptus
1 can of Skruf Stark
1 can of Ettan Original
1 can of General Onyx
1 can of Clan Qui.
So far I have tried the Ettan and didn't really care for it at all. The first 20 minutes I thought it tasted awful, but then it started to mellow and it wasn't too bad. So I transferred it from the fridge to the freezer and brought down the can of Catch and thought it was delicious, but for some reason, the portion keeps forming a slime on it that kind of bugs me.
I watched the video on hand baking a pris a few days ago and about an hour ago, I hand baked my very first pris out of the Grov. Surprisingly, it stayed together very, very well for about 45 minutes. Not bad for my first attempt! It was, however, a little too large and the ends and bottom loosened, so I decided to take it out. It is probably my favorite as of right now. Absolutely delicious!
So there ya go. I am very excited that I have found a much safer way to satisfy my fixation with tobacco and nicotine! In this short time my sense of taste and smell have started returning and I am loving it. I had a sinus infection this week, which I hear is pretty normal when you quit smoking due to the sinuses cleaning themselves out and starting the long repair process. I can't wait to place my next order with Northerner!
Snus on!

Well done quitting the cigs, that's great news! Over the last 3 or so weeks I have been on snuson, it has given my great personal pleasure hearing someone like yourself quitting smokes. I use northerner myself, they are very good.
