Uno mas snubie.

[Quemador]

Yes, yes, nothing less. Yet another snus newbie ("snubie," if you will) posting on SnusOn. Firstly, allow me to thank you all for your colorful, yet amazingly insightful posts. This forum truly is THE BEST source for snus information available on the Internet; a veritable endless crevasse of useful snus knowledge. I've been reading posts, researching the tips, tricks, recommendations, ins and outs of Swedish snus on this website for weeks now. I thought it high time for me to register this very eve because... As if it were Santa Claus, the ever faithful USPS mail delivered to me today a gift anxiously awaited (a free sample can from getsnuss.com, for $1), my very first experience with genuine Swedish snus is a can of General White Portions.

Initial Snubie Review (as the suspense builds, this is very exciting):
Bergamot (citrus) with an overlying ammonia type smell synonymous with moist tobacco. Graphic explanation: Almost Copenhagen long cut soaked in earl grey tea... only more mild than that sounds. For me? Quite enjoyable for being my very first attempt at actual snus (besides Camel). I cannot wait to to commence this adventurous Swedish snus journey.

One question: What is this extra cap thing on the lid used for??

Thank you to all,

Rev. Quemador

That's the Snus version of an ashtray. Put the used Snus in it.

And welcome to the forum.

I sometimes put stronger portions or other flavors in there so that I don't have to take more than one can to work with me. I usually just spit my used portions at passersby!

Xobeloot - Thanks man, i appreciate that, and I look forward to many moons of Snuson involvlishment (assuming involvlishment is a word).

ddandb - Thanks to you as well. A storage place for used up snus... convenient, Eco friendly, Swedish ingenuity!

Welcome Quemador. Even beyond the snus, this is just an amazing place.

Welcome aboard, to the boards!

I always think of this place as a greatly functional disfunctional family where most everyone gets along, as long we are not talking about anything to heavy like politics or political theories.

Just a word of caution, don't PM Xobe for a pic of his wiener. I heard he would actually send it.

Thanks yall!

By the way, who'd you all vote for?
Just kiddin, don't answer that.


I do have a real question though... As I understand it, snus juice is to be swallowed. Do any of you feel the urge or need to spit? I find myself spitting the juice out more often than swallowing it, I don't know what it is, maybe some subconscious mechanism or maybe just habit from dipping snuff in the past. Does that take away from the whole experience or is that normal?

[TBD]

Most people don't spit at all, or very little. I keep a drink handy and just take a sip to get it down, if needed. I find most snus juice to be relatively pleasant compared to American dip.

BUT... whatever makes you happiest. There really is no wrong way to snus.

i used to spit it out, but my favorite snus (general wintergreen by far) i dont spit with at all.

I don't think it matters how you enjoy snus, but the lack of a complete need to spit with snus is what makes it great.

I've been reading some of these V2 reviews, and the sweet clove seems to stand out. I asked this question on one of those threads, forgive me for asking again on this one... Is there (are there) a snus type available currently with a clove flavor?
