All about snus and salt!

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Here is the Deal I am New to snus But I really dig it. I have myself down to 1 maybe 2 Cigs a day Down from 35 (ish)

I race Motorcycles and Do alot of Bicycle training I am finding that alot of Snus is not really that pleasant on a 90 degree day When you are wearing a leather suit and Sweating your ass off.

The salt gets to me sometimes definity when drinking tons of gatorade Ect. I found General wintergreen to be OK.

Any other suggestions for a Less Salty brand for me

I have tried the Wine and dine and the "Purified" stuff But I hate it.

Maybe Tre Ankre? This question pops up every so often, but it's tough to answer. Snus is salty by design, so the flavor runs from salty to OMG salty :^D

V2's lös tends to be on the lighter side. I'm having trouble thinking of portions that I would consider light in salt. I think it may be an issue of you getting used to the salt. It isn't noticeable after awhile, and with portions in particular, it's easy to drink water or something if your mouth tastes like crap.

[KarlvB]

I'd say Skruf or Gotlands.

IMO they have the least overt saltiness, but as lxskllr notes there will still be an element of salt

Hey black...

If your looking to lower the salt content stick with the white portions like the General WG. For me the regulars all seem to still taste salty, I have gotten used to it and am a couch potato so it really doesnt effect me. Really my only other advice is to stay away from the other General brands if you are worried about salt content. Those still taste WAY to salty to me. Others here should be along to recomment other portions.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Cool I will try some other stuff.

I do Normally like the salt And Claq Qui is my favorite. And Yes I have gone 170 MPH while Snusing (not on public roads)

Thanks again

Also keep in mind, that the strong apparant saltiness actually goes away in about a week of regular use. Or it sure has for me. When I 1st did snus, they all seemed like little bags of salt, but now, any snus I do, I really don't get any saltiness from them.

[Habs]

prima fint tastes really mild and isn't really salty. but it's loose.

granit or lucky strike might be a good idea

[sagedil]

LD Black has no salt really if you like licorice.

But BLACK SQUIRREL, this salt thing is temporary. I promise, after a week to two weeks, you will never notice. I ride too, put about 2000 miles a month on my motorcycle. One of my greatest pleasures of snus, I get my nicotine WHILE I ride now.

Just give it a bit of time, I promise, it will not be an issue. Your body just needs time to acclimate to the salt. Thousands of people through here, all took only a week to two to get there.

^ Couldn't have said it better. Real snus threw me for a loop with the salt content for about the first week and half or two. However in the meantime or if that doesn't change these would be my suggestions.

I notice almost no salt in Roda Lackett portions. Never had the los so I could not say. But RL is sweeter like dried figs or dates.

Grov is another one that seems to less salty than most and for that reason I can chain them all day. Same with Lucky whites, not so much with the original though. They are good but the salt is more pronounced.

Tre Ankare is pretty low in the salt dept also but if it gets too wet that all changes. I would say retro or ettan before Tre. Good luck finding your go to.

Welcome to Snuson sm0ke42o

Just been here a LONG time, know how it is for just about everyone who comes to snus now, especially if they started with Camel. As you read me, you will see me giving that same advice to every new person.

Again, just wanted to say welcome.

[sm0ke42o]

thanks for the welcome sage

glad to be here. :wink:

[LordJ]

I detect hardly any salt in Ettan Portions.That being said,I been chain snusing for a month now and even the Claq Qui,which was salty as hell the first can,doesn't faze me.Like Sage said,give it some time.

[gitchel]

If you like General White, I think grovsnus white is about the closest in taste while being a lot lower in salty taste.

My personal take.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I dont find the claq Qui that salty its actully my Favorite.

My worst so far is Catch eucalyptus(sp?) that is like salty nastiness which is kind of strnge cause I really like the liqorice.

[sagedil]

The Eucalyptus is one of only 3 snus I have ever thrown out. Just the nastiest sh** to me at least.
