Sames as Sagedil, I keep opened cans with me and have never noticed any deleterious effects. I usually keep opened cans of los in the fridge though.

Re: Storage questions

I tried a can of Triumph next that left me wanting to smoke even with one in my mouth. Yet again, I had been duped by another poor American excuse for snus.

That is actually fairly common when you first start to snus. Almost all of the people I have tried to "convert" have said that portions just make them want to smoke more. I used to smoke a cigarette every time I put a portion in, myself.....it will pass with time; it's just that your body (and mind) have to adjust to a different form of nicotine delivery.

w00t!

Thanks for all the wonderful tips!

With the Triumph, it is my understanding that it has lowered nicotine, thus my still craving a smoke with one in.

Well, I got my order today and WOW! This stuff if great. Even the difference in smell between the Triumph and General is amazing. Triumph smells more like Cope to me but the General is very different and pleasing.

I did not mind the saltiness one bit. In fact, I found it quite enjoyable!

Now to work on the replacement. I don't see it being very difficult though.

Soupskin, I am glad you are liking the Swedish stuff right out of the box. And it will only get better and better!!

Perfect Snus Storage!

hey guys, I found a great way to keep your snus fresh while its in the fridge.

Target sells these airtight containers, I think this particular one is a target brand so you might not be able to find the exact one at a different store but these have a lifetime warranty, they're cheap (like eight dollars) and they have a nice modern look to them.

I know they work because I did a test. Here's what I did... First I opened a container of general wintergreen and put it on the shelf in my fridge then I opened another wintergreen and put it in the airtight container. After a few days the smell of the wintergreen alone on the shelf had pretty much disappeared while the smell of the one in the container smelled just as strong as it did when I first opened it. A week later I couldn't smell anything from the one on the shelf but the one in the airtight container still smelled the same as it did on day one!

The reason I like this is because you can open up several cans with different flavors and use whatever flavor you're craving without having to worry about all the open cans losing their freshness!

I ****ing LOVE these containers. In the picture below I have 4 cans, one is a mini. If you look at the top you see a blue glasp, this is what keeps the stuff inside fresh. You just clasp them when you close it and it sucks out the air. Then just clasp again to open.

Looks sweet! Time to go to Target.

On an unrelated note:
The labels on your lids and cans aren't lined up. Please fix this and take another picture or my OCD will keep me up all night. :P

LMAO!!

That's bothering me a bit too :^D

Nice tubs btw. I may have to pick a couple up. Thanks for the tip :^)

thats funny you two both mentioned the labels. It bothered me too! but I didnt want to line up each can perfectly and then have to hear about how i'm obsessive compulsive. I figured with the labels a little off it would look a bit more natural and casual while at the same time capturing the attention of my fellow snusers. Guess I missed that one. Dammit!

Must...fix...labels...


You know I read somewhere that like 1 in 12 smokers is OCD? Well it looks like 4 in 4 snusers are too.

[deebocools]

I have never, once, lined up a label. The snuses flavor didn't suffer, either.

Blasphemy! :P

[Premium Parrots]

Oh the labels not being lined up don't bother me NEAR as much as that tin of general standing on its side. :x

[drhamsterville]

Lol, my girl laughs at me because I HAVE to have labels line up. Everything else in my life is messy, yet I am gentle with my snus. They can't be on their sides either. She used my snus oneday ((Which I'm ok with) but when she put it back it was on it's side AND the label wasn't lined up. Horrible!

[ponysoprano]

ok, I've been on and off this forum since June '08 and this is the first time I recall a discussion about spinning the can lid so the label is lined up. I'm glad I'm not the only one! O C Dizzle, fuh shizzle
