    If it comes to the worst case scenario

    I have enough snus to probably last me about a month, but, being 19, I will no longer be able to order any snus once I get back to school (thanks UPS). There's one cigar shop that I can buy a limited selection of General portions for $5.35 a can, and even though I like General, I don't want to be limited to their original, wintergreen, and mint portions. I like my variety. And that's a tad pricey.

    So, I believe that having discovered my favorite tobacco product and only able to use it for 8 months, unfortunately I think I may *attempt* to cut out tobacco altogether (I sure as well aint going back to cigarettes, frickin cold in ND). Have any of you had any experience with using snus to quit? Since I'll be out of sterks (probably a good thing), I plan to just use the General OPs, and limit the amount I have per day, gradually lowering it, and eventually switching to minis in hope that I can lower the tolerance and addiction.

    Have any of you tried this? Did it do any good? If so, how long did it take?

    Yeah, lots of people have posted how snus is the easiest way to quit all together. You can do it it you want. Good luck!

    I'm on the baby steps over many years program

      I was just in Fargo last week. I had a flat pack vacuum bag of snus in my luggage. You could have had it all to yourself.

      Funny thing is, at the airport, my fingernail clippers got my bags double searched, the snus was ok. LMAO.

      How's the yield looking with the wheat?

        I am not sure how he ships his products but you might want to look into buying some Toque snuff. That brand seems to have a big following here and you might me able to stop by just using snuff when you are having a severe nic fit. You can get a huge sampler pack for about $20.00 postage paid.

          Toque is awesome.. I just got a sampler for the 20 bucks and it's great.. Nice nic hit and great flavors (smells).. It takes a little getting used to but once you do it's great. I got one of the bullets on the site. Some people don't care for em but I use it at work and it works great. Oh and it's sent regular mail no signature required

            And not that anybody else cares...I did write Toque and the only product that is not vegetarian is obviously the cheese and bacon. I do want to try nasal snuff but I have used it in the past and remember having to clean out my nose a lot when I used it. I will probably try it soon though. Good info Eric on the shipping!

              No prolem.. And yes I remember you posting about being worried about ingredients.. I'm glad they wrote ya back it was prob Roderick he's a good guy. Let us know what you think of the different flavors. My reccomendation so far is the whiskey and honey. I didn't think I'd like it to much but tried it yesterday and was blown away. Also the lime toast and peach. Check out snuffreviews.com before you order. They are the experts.

                  Well dang it, I was there last week too to take a look at my apartment. Why didn't ya call me?!

                  And I'm not a farmer so I have no idea how the wheat is. I'm assuming pretty well since we've gotten about 200 feet of rain this summer.

                      I had actually been thinking of trying it and may still, but I'm not a fan of putting stuff up my nose.

                      How long does the nicotine hit last before you feel like another, anyway?

                          Appreciate the recommendations as we seem to have similar taste on tobacco. Excepting the cheese and bacon of course.

                            I guess it depends really.

                            Being I'm living in a college apartment, I can always have a 21 year old order for me, and then I just pay him back. But I still don't know if UPS will deliver to it. Last time I asked res life, they didn't know...

                              If the cutting down doesn't work so well, try to find someone at school you trust who's 21 that can sign for ya. Throw them a can or two for doing it and snare us another user.
