    I crave variety once in a while, but I don't need constant variety and like to have a staple that is my "regular snus." Luckily for me, good ol' General is perhaps my favorite snus. (Though sometimes I think it might be Grov.) I could be perfectly content snusing General OP all day, and that is what I use the most of. Mixing it up with General loose, General WP, and the occasional General Mint keeps me pretty happy.

    I tend to stock up on the different General varieties from my local tobacconist once a month, and then place small online orders every once in a while for non-General brands--mostly Grov, Ettan, and Probe Whiskey so far, and then I'll sometimes add a tin of something I never tried before. (Though now I'll probably have to change my M.O. to larger orders to make it cost-effective with UPS shipping.) Other ways I keep it fresh is some experimenting with flavoring extracts and sometimes using alternative products like Stonewall and (now) the new Camel Robust.

      Main snus is Grov, Ettan, Gen OP, Gen WP and N&J Strong. I've been craving GESP and Gen mint lately -- for the sweetness. I'm all out.

        I like variety. I use GESP or Claq Qui in the morning, General loose, Ettan loose, or Grov loose during the day, Probe loose, GES loose, Skruf loose, and Oden's ES kanel loose at night. I've recently cut Skruf loose and Skruf ES loose out of the rotation just to conserve those and see how it goes. So far so good.

          Little off topic: My nicotine buzz lasts only 3-6 minutes, even the first in the morning(Thunder ES Frosted).
          I get the impression that people have / get the buzz for ATLEAST 30 minutes?

            Claq Qui.. One snus I'll never get to try.. Recently trying Roda Lacket and falling in love makes me want to try that variation. It seems that most folks are hoarding it. One plus is that it's something I'll never miss but my curiosity outweighs that. Another variety I would love to try is Nick and Johnny east and west. Which I heard is very rare.

              I love variety and often have a hard time choosing between either Granit or General OP.

                I'm not sure I've ever gotten a nicotine buzz per se. Nic is one of those things I just like to keep at a steady level in my bloodstream that keeps me on an even keel. Maybe it's cause I've never been a cig smoker--always smoked a pipe--so not accustomed to that intense, fast nic hit that cig smokers get when they inhale the first blast. Then again, I'm just not a very "buzzy" person. My other daily vice is caffeine, and I don't really get a buzz from that either. I can chug a cup of coffee and go right to bed and sleep peacefully, but during the day I'll miss it when it's not in my system.

                  When you come down to South Florida I'll let you try a Claq Qui Portion.

                  It's pretty good but I rarely use it due to the fact that I can't get any more. lol

                    Sounds like a plan C.

                          I am fairly close to Santa Rosa. San Francisco is about 2 hours away from where I am at and Lake Tahoe is about 4 hours away. Now I am thinking you can do a snus tour. Just get the address of one ore two members in every state and you can visit the state that offers you the best snus to try!

                            To me it's kinda like a GESP/Roda hybrid. It's a great snus. I think I like GESP better though. If you PM me your addy I'll send you a can.

                              I want to try General tobacco cuts myself but they are as hard to find as intelligence in the Tea Party.

                                I have been working my way through a huge variety of snus and loving it. Now though I am trying to get a handle on my tastes (and try not to have 20 cans open at once). With all the Swedish Match snus I got from my VIP membership I'm now using rolls of Grov, Ettan and Got Rape as my daytime snus, but still reveling in a mad variety of los snus in the evenings.

                                Even as a smoker I would smoke many different brands of cigarets and loose tobaccos and now as a snuser I see no reason to not enjoy the variety that is out there.
