Threw out two cans of snus

[Experimental Monkey]

The only snus I've thrown out is Oomph (9 cans of the buggers) and Grovsnus black (3 cans). Couldn't stand the stuff.

WHY?! That's a damn good snus. I'm sure many of us would've been able to give that stuff a happy home.

This is unacceptable...

We could have swapped...

You could have sold them...

Now I have to call in an air strike... Please PM me your coordinates...

I too like the mint as an evening or sleeping snus...

To be honest people - most of you live in the US so shipping is going to be a little costly. Then what they've done here in England is shut down all the local post offices - so I have to go to the next major centre - queue for ages etc etc etc which would take about an hour all in all - then there's parking fees to park near the post office and fuel (which costs a bloody arm and a leg over here at $1.86 a litre and my car takes 80 of those) - so in a nutshell I couldn't be arsed.
These days I've got young kids to look after as well - so forget it. I haven't got a second to spare.

I think the mint is great for the American market, or for those new to snus. If you've been using snus a while it seems like it may be a bit sweet, because it isn't really marketed or made for the snuser, it's made for the snubie. Ones like Thunder Frosted/Offroad Frosted which have that bold, spearmint flavor - I think they're much more enjoyable if you use other snuses, especially more traditional flavors. It's why the "flavored" option in my rotation is a V2 product. I can't do the General one too much because it seems much to sweet.

Me agrees that sweet is probably the way to go to get dippers on board but methinks something like the South African Luckies would be much better to get the smokers on board.

What is that?

What is that?

I only got to try one can but it's similar to the Swedish Lucky Strikes but with a hint of sweetness (just a hint) and a slightly caramel taste. Still rich in tobacco taste but didn't have too much artificial smoke. I'd love to get some more somehow.

[Simplysnus]

I mix in general mint as well, enjoy a bit of salty sweet

That sounds good. I liked Lucky Strike as a mix it up once in a while snus but it was a little heavy on the liquid smoke imo.

I'm with you long time snuser almost 10 years my main snus is General Ekstra Sterk Loose but I also like the sweet and salty in my rotation.

Dude, that's wrong as two boys kissing. Somebody here would have probably liked it. Next time put it on the snus exchange and offer it to anyone willing to pay shipping.

I still have those free cans of wintergreen and mint from Getsnus in the freezer. Even though I really don't care for them, they are good in a pinch!

[LaZeR]

Screw all this catering to the 'wintergreen' & SkoAl (insert flavor here) _______________ dippers.

Promote snus more as harm reduction and make the American Tobaccos list their ingredients like: Fiberglass, Formaldehyde, ect...



So tired of this "Fruity-sugary" & "Wintergreen" snus invading America. Bring on the real snuS!

LOL

I've given sooooo much snus away that I don't like. I probably have made dozens of people HATE snus just by giving them crap I didn't like.

I have most likely given my brother alone over 100 cans. Some he actually asked for and likes, and some he couldn't stand the thought of me throwing away. He's taken dozens of opened cans missing a portion or two or cans of loose that were nearly full. At first I'd try to spin it like, "boy this Julesnus is super rare and really yummy, but if you want it.." Now he's like, "oh some more flavored crap you don't like huh."

I put 70 unopened cans alone in Box Pass 2.0 just to get the ball rolling. Not counting the exchange. It's a shame we really won't be able to do that again with shipping being such a hassle.

To the point though. Life is too short to use snus you don't like. Shipping is too expensive compared to the relatively low cost of snus to dump it on someone unless they really want it.

I've learned to stick to what I like when ordering and only order one or two new things at most before acquiring several of them. I wouldn't throw out my unwanted snus before trying to find it a good home, but I understand others doing it just to get rid of something they are sure they will never use.
