I had the new Catch Pure Mint in upper deck and enjoying it very much. I had a tasty drip going which I was enjoying. However, I was going into a business appointment and just happened to glance in the rear view to check my chit out and to my horror I had a lot of brown juice between my teeth which looked disgusting. I "need" to snus at work but now I'm concerned I could be yucking it up and looking like a total jackass. Normally, don't snus Catch Pure Mint but was enjoying the flavor as well as the comfortable pouch. I never noticed this happening with Rape #2 but it may have? Anyone have any suggestion to eliminate this issue? Any advise would be much appreciated....

You shouldn't place your portion right next to the dividing lip tissue above your front two teeth. Try moving the bag closer to your canines, if not further back towards your molars.
Also, welcome to the forums! -
Just bring something to drink swish it around and swallow it since you enjoy the drip that's obviously not a problem. I agree GR No2 is awesome I really wish I'd ordered some in my last order.Comment

Thanks but there will be times I won"t have access to water, so looking for a solution that works 98% of the time.Comment

Thanks Raptor, looking forward to rapping on the forum...I will try it back a bit but it felt like it was in the sweet spot (pocket) which I used prior with no issues. I typically fold my regular size portions and this was the new longer slim fit. I was looking forward to a more comfortable/discreet fit but perhaps not folding is the issue?
As for my typical placement, I place over two spaces from the middle gap. I thought that was the rule of thumb?Comment

Folding any portion works great for stealth, But I don't think it is needed for the catch pure mint, It could be that it is pressing againt your gum too hard because it is folded and releasing too much of the the juice.Originally posted by piks101 View PostComment

I normally press my portions with my fingers prior to inserting to make them flatter whether flat or folding. Could that be an issue?Originally posted by jagmanss View Post
I wasn't folding the Catch Pure Mint when I had the juice in the front teeth issue but I'm thinking maybe I should? Please advise.Comment

I would just move it back some so if it drips it won't be noticeable.Comment

By pressing portions before you insert if you look while your pressing will turn them a bit darker, What this is doing is releasing the moisture and nicotine from the portion onto the portion material faster than if you just insert, Try not pressing so much or just do the fluff and fold.Originally posted by piks101
To tell you the truth I have never had this problem that I know of ( I will have to check, But I think my wife would have said something by now ), I have noticed that if i stick my tounge out it is brown, But I'm not in the habit of sticking my tounge out at people so not a problem. Yet
Catch pure mint is a longer portion so you can only go back so far... I'm at a loss, maybe someone else can chime in ...Comment

That's all I can come up with, folding Catch Pure Mint isn't going to make a difference IMO because it will still be more up front... if you can't move it back try getting into the habit every once in a while of wiping your teeth with your tounge if you feel self conscious about the juice on your teeth.. This helps clean it of, but try not to tounge the portion too much just your teeth a quick swipe is all you need.Comment

Here is something so simple it seems rather silly. Use your tongue and rub your teeth to keep the juice from building up. I do it all the time and never have an issue!Comment

I doubt anyone will notice. If they do, say you just had a brownie.Comment

I keep a bottle of water with me, when working and using snus for this very reason. Just sip and swish occasionally...voila, no staining.Comment

So here is the lamest suggestion - get a new snus, perhaps one that claims to 'whiten' teeth such as the Northerner/Ooomph snus. As far as product placement, folding, can't help you there....sorry, I did claim this to be a lame suggestion though.

White portions Ive never had a problem with, but regular portions, especially Thunder Frosted, give me the same problem, and I work in a hospital so thats not cool.
I just keep a toothbrush in each of my vehicles, and one at work, so I can just give a quick once over here and there. You don't have to actually use toothpaste, just a little water will work.
