Portion broke loose

[visiON]

Eh... got a portion from the can, just to notice it being a little blackish, I look at the other side and bam, its open..
Now, my question is, should I use the portion like loose(take out the snus and handbake it somehow) or should I pop in the portion(might get really messy)?

I have never tried to use portion as lös as i really doubt it would work properly. I have used a broken portion though, without realizing it until it was already in. It was fine for about 30 minutes and then little bits started floating around.

It just happens every blue moon. Throw out, try again.

I'd try using it as is. Worse thing that'll happen is you get some tobacco in your mouth.

Try folding it so the split / opening folds onto itself, compress it a bit, and use it. Usually itll keep any from spilling around your mouth (if the split is fairly small) and even if it doesn't the leakage should be minimal.

One portion. Roughly $0.13541666666666666666666666666667 per.

Geez you guys are cheap. Me, I just dump and get a good portion. I can afford to waist thirteen and a half cents. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You've got to be kidding me right?

In about 180 days, that will be $1.50 per portion thanks to you're buddy in the oval office as soon as he pulls that pen out of his ass long enough to sign in PACT. :wink:

Excellent idea. See, someone is thinking around here.

For me it seems to happen to my Knox portions the most. Like 2 or 3 a can. Not much ever falls out so I just pop it in normally.

I've tried using the innards of a portion as los. It's not the same. I can't figure out why for the life of me but it's definitely different. I once mixed Roda white w/ Grov black to find very good results. My guess it that you're beyond this by now but I do the fold method as posted earlier.

N&J East/West was notorious for breaking open but it tasted so effing good I didn't care...God I'd love that snus again. Portion breakage is certainly a once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence now though.

Fair enough. I agree, for some folks soon, this fine advice being given on how to save a damaged portion might be very valuable.

Good point my friend. :wink:

It happens. Just fold it in half, pop it in, and deal with it. :wink:
