bromat80,

Welcome. You've got a nice selection there. Your tastes will change. So don't be too quick to judge any one brand and give up on it. Just put it aside and just keep rotating portions until you find your way.

**ddandb** · 10-07-09, 03:52 PM

Welcome and glad you found some helpful info.

Grovsnus Black White Portion...MMMmmm. One of my favorites and one of the few portions I still use.

Don't forget to give some of the Los a try.

**jcarlson** · 10-07-09, 04:51 PM

ditto on the Grov Svart.....that and Onyx are really the only portions I use. But when it comes to los.....NOTHING beats Skruf Stark.

As much as I love their los though, Skruf Cranberry = yuk in a bucket. Couldn't stand it. Of course I don't really like ANY of the fruit flavored ones.

**ctimb2002** · 10-07-09, 05:02 PM

As the Frost whore around here let me wish you 24 of the most amazing portions you are ever going to taste...of course I like just about everything else on your list as well...skruf stark is great and claq qui is another personal fav i order half rolls of. So enjoy!

Welcome to Snuson and snus bromat80.

So standard advice here. It will take between a week and ten days for your body to get acclimated to the salt. So really, need to wait about a wqeek to start really tasting the snus as it is. And do be prepared for your tastes to range all over the map for a long, long time. SO....if you love a snus, don't overuse it, it very likely will turn on you if you use it too much. And if you don't like a snus at first, set it aside a week, try it again. Still no like, try it again in a month. So many snuses I didn't like at first eventually became a favorite, so don't give up on anything at first try.

Otherwise, enjoy your new journey

Well, the first thing that I was bombarded by was the overwhelming smell of ammonia which kinda turned me off. Second was the taste of pepper, it just seemed like too much. I am not much of a pepper person. As the day progressed, I started noticing the pepper less and less. My first portion this morning was great, much better than yesterday. It was actually starting to taste good. At first I thought that I had just wasted my money on all of the snus that I bought but now I can't wait to try all of the different kinds that I have on the way.

**sagedil** · 10-07-09, 07:20 PM

LOL...other standard advice for newbies, don't sniff the snus??

The ammonia is a byproduct of the production of snus. It dissipates quickly. You ever smell a lot, it just means the snus is super fresh. Leave it open for an hour and it should dissipate.

The pepper thing makes General a less than favorite of mine. It really is the only snus like that.

Continue trying, know that it will keep tasting better and better this week.

**bromat80** · 10-07-09, 07:32 PM

Yeah, I had read about that after I had smelled it. But really I would have smelled it regardless if I had put my nose to the can or had it opened in my hand.

welcome to the forum bromat80, you've found one of the best places on the internet to learn about snus and other's experience with it. sage has pretty much covered what it is, i'm still new at this, started out with the camel like you. have been trying so many flavors, at the moment i have about 6 new flavors that i'm trying out in addition to the basic 3 or 4 i have already fallen for. as sage said, give it time. i found one flavor i didn't like, tried it a little later and then a little later again. i ended up reordering it in los and i really dig it now, so don't be too quick to decide what you like or don't like. hey, i'm gonna post a link where you can get a banner like what you see in my sig, i found that i get a kick out of seeing how much money i'm saving by not smoking cigs, not to mention how many cigs i would have smoked. :shock:

again, welcome.

Haha, beat you to it. When I first hopped on this site about a week ago I saw your banner and checked out the properties of it to find the link. I put it up on my myspace. It is amazing how much money was spend and cigarettes were smoked just since last week.
