Now I distinctly worded my post expressing it was my opinion, and what worked for me. What works for others, as well as other's views, is fine with me, we all have our own ways we do things.
I wasn't posting defensive at all. Sorry if it came across that way Tom. I have the way I do it and you do as well. If anything I am jealous cuz you are saving money in comparison to me

No, I think sage was trying to shake the cage. :wink:
Remember that day when you suddenly realized that women are not just men who are shaped differently but are beings from a completely different side of reality (or girls remember when you realized that all men are morons)
That’s where I am right now. Portions are not just los-in-a-bag. They are a completely different ethos, mentality, and budgetary item.
I feel that something significant has happened here on this thread and that somehow I will never view the world in quite the same way.
Well maybe not….but nonetheless…. daaaamn!!!
Snuson 8)

When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

in the world of regular, original portions, white portions, los, sterk portions, mini portions, purified portions, ekstra sterk portions......
hard to say.
i like the way it feels best when i put an original portion in, but they dont last me as long cause i dont like when they get too juicy. but 15-35 minutes is fine with me... after all i would huff down a cigg in about 2 minutes before snus, so im deff saving money. this month im not spending a cent, but last month i probably spent around 120-140, green american papers. but i have a nice stash too 8)
Some go 15 minutes I go 3-4 hours. As long as its not a snus that gets bitter after a while I still get a good tobacco taste for a long time. Sometimes I go to the bottom lip for a little more flavor and I am constantly prodding at it with my tung and compressing it with my lips. Probably no one in Sweden that does that so if no one makes fun of me I wont make fun of anyone else's use. I don't really care about the nicotine so I know that is totally weird.

I think you might need to re-read what you wrote then.

It's not impressive to me. It seems like a waste. A snus lasts a good hour and half or more.
Flat out declaration of how long a snus lasts. Nothing in that wording says it is your "opinion", you stated as fact... And you called how SM's representatives use snus a "waste" Too funny since we use a product made in Sweden, and you were so dismissive of the classic way Swedes use snus. umm....I would suspect they would say it was YOU who were doing it wrong. kinda think that Swedes who have been using snus for hundreds of years, invested the it in fact, might be more "right" in how long they use a snus then we are????
Still, yes, your post came off as very wrong and judgmental. Jonathon had posted about how surprised he was at how much the SM guys use, that he found it impressive. And you immediately followed with that with a contradiction, And then cast doubt on whether they were even telling the truth.
OK, but all my posts are just my opinion. But while I make some statements, I do try and pepper my posts with "to me" alot. They are not meant to be critical or judgemental of others.
Tom, I know that. And please know I mean nothing personal in what I post. Still, please, for me and others, try to be a bit more careful. Sometimes, you just do post in absolutes, probably without even realizing it.
Snus is such a funny thing, absolutes just need not apply, everyone is different. But newbies reading don't always realize. And go back and read Christi's post, you can see the defensiveness in how she wrote. Even if she wasn't consciously doing it, she still felt the need to defend her usage. What I don't want to see anybody ever feel they need to do here.
I use just about a can a day. It comes to about a 100.00 a month. I have a sales job that is very systems intensive so I am not even sure how or when I switch them out. I am talking on the phone and moving between four or five different computer systems at the same time so I assume I use the majority of it during work. I don't really have much in the way of non snus time though. I put one in when the alarm clock goes off and take the last one out while lying down to sleep. I probably should start focusing on it and lowering but I am just glad not to be spending 12.00 bucks a day to kill myself with cigs.
Some go 15 minutes I go 3-4 hours. As long as its not a snus that gets bitter after a while I still get a good tobacco taste for a long time.

Im exactly the same, I keep one in 2-4 hours, untill every last drop of flavor is used up, and its flat out dead. I too dont worry about the nicotine running out, and yet I never have cravings for nicotine (although I absolutely crave the flavor of that oh so wonderful General Wintergreen, and Thunder Frosted!). Sometimes I think my body has gotten over the nicotine dependancy since I stopped smoking, and I only snus because I just love the stuff.....
I only read the 3rd page here, but I'll throw my 2 cents in. Over a month, I've founf that I use about 1 can every 3 days. As far as daily usage goes I guess it varies. I keep portions in for anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour. Los, 30-75 minutes. I keep less los on hand than portions because its something I enjoy at home. If I were to break it down by month, I order and consume 1 roll of Odens ES portions per month, plus a few cans of assorted portions, and a few cans of los. So all told, I guess that's more than 1 can every 3 days. That's just Odens lol. I guess I spend about $50 a month on snus, max. More like $43.

Would you please take that dumb picture off!!! Geeeez.
Umm...not sure that is the best way to make a first impression, criticizing a rather well loved member here. Don't like it, easy solution. You don't have to read here.
