    lxkllr, throw them on the trade board. I don't think an occasional usage would hurt. But constant usage could. It'd be like pressing a donut on your teeth all day. I personaly don't see the interest in tobacco free snus, it's like alcohol free beer. I can see some interest in energy snus, my buddy, a smoker, whom I gave my Discreet snus' to, which he says he likes, is an energy drink fan, I think he'd be interested in something like that. And not too long ago he got his top teeth taken out and has a false set, he had bad top teeth since I met him.

      They would be good for someone trying to quit snus, but missing the mouth feel. I got the Jakobsson's Classic, and Onico Pepparmint. They're both good, but not as good as real snus. I think I got them at the end of last summer, and they're still in my fridge. I guess that's the most telling opinion ;^)

      After seeing the above picture, I think I may just chuck them. I really don't need tooth rot from a product I think is just /ok/.
      Wait... what's wrong with Jakobsson's? That's a normal snus correct? I just ordered some Icefruit and I don't want to end up looking like that...

        Jakobson's makes tobacco free snus as well, that's what was being referred to.

            Yea, I was talking about the tobacco free. I'd use regular Jakobsson's with absolute confidence. The tobacco free was kind of tasty. It was a bit like carrot cake :^D I just don't have much use for tobacco free snus, and after that picture above, I *really* don't see the point.

                This stuff smells like and tastes like beef jerky. :shock:

                I've had four portions so far and every one tastes like jerky.

                It makes me feel like I popped a regular snus. No jitters or real "kick" to speak of for me.

                The funny thing that I noticed besides the flavor is that the used portion lid fits so securely and sealed so well on the can I have that I found a soggy portion in it two days after I left it there. Any other brand I've had the used portions I've stashed in the lid dry out a bit and aren't so gross to throw away.

                So if you like jerky and don't want to feel too jacked up on stimulants this is your thing.

                I doubt I'll be buying it ever again. :lol:

                  Answer to Nicotinfree and theeth problems

                  SWM had major problems with Onico the beginning. This is because they had corn starch (which contains large amounts of starch) into its product.
                  Starch in combination with saliva leads to a transpose to sugar, this in combination made it very unhealthy to snus Onico.
                  Today, they changed their product and use oat fiber base and cocoa contain much less starch.

                  Gotlandssnus has green tea which is very low in starch content in itself, we also use carrot fibers that make saliva not so intense
                  and it in turn makes Sprilla & TNF to a safe product.
                  In addition, we have flour to inhibit bacterial growth in the mouth this together with the PH which is above 8 makes it very difficult for bacteria to thrive.
                  beyond this, we have also added ginseng to get an extra welfare.

                  I hope to answer your quetions.

                    Jimmy,

                    your nic free snus doesn't taste like beef jerky does it?

                    Question: why the flouride? There is some scary stuff written about flouride out there.

                      Very few things in life are absolute, but my level of interest in tobacco/nicotine free snus is precisely zero.

                        Flour is usually used for toothpaste and recommended retirement from the Swedish Dental Association is that you should consume about 4-5mg per day.
                        our nicotine-free is a supplement to the recommended ring.

                        It is up to each one trying to quit snus with our nicotine-free products What we have achieved is a product similar to usual snus, but contains no tobacco or nicotine.

                        The taste is like classic snus. and one whith a mint character.

                          So it's an alternative product for those wanting to quit snus. That's cool. I see dip alternatives similarly. I guess there is a market for it. I don't wanna quit snus at the moment, but if I ever do, I "think" I could just quit. But a non-tobacco/non-nicotine product might help some. There is also General Silver, which is lower nic.

                            Is the can metal? I am looking for a mini metal "round" can for Northerner Purified as the cheap plastic contanier is lame imo.

                              Where do you live? For USA Cmael tins are very nice, though the snus sucks. If outside the USA, the Montecristo line has nice tins.

                                Live in US. Looking for a traditional round snus/dip container like the Offroad mini portion plastic container but metal.
