From 'dip' to 'snus'

[theoldsearock]

^ if you like ettan you'll probably like grov snus - good stuff 8)

Per your recommendation, I'll toss a couple of tins into the next order and find out. Would you say that it's very similar to Ettan?

My wife couldn't sleep and as a result, she woke me up. I poured a large glass of Merlot and got a big prilla of Ettan working. VERY NICE. :wink:

It'll probably be this fall before I order again. In my freezer I now have a half roll of General, a roll of Nick and Johnny, a roll of Ettan, a roll of Skruf Stark portions for work, and onsies of Diplomat, Roda Laket and Gotlandssnuss Gul. :lol:

Getting off the Copenhagen!

Ouch, Copenhagen is a tough snuff to switch. My Father, Brother and Myself all have "dipped" it for years. I alone moved to the Snus side, so far. I gave my Dad a can of Ettan loose and he really liked it, he just won't order it himself (afraid of Computers). I recently tried the Danish portion OFFROAD snus-cran flavor and found out the hard way this is not the snus for ex-Cope addicts. Stick with the loose, your cravings for cope will start to switch to Snus when your brain says "Hey" wears the bergamot buddy! I will always snus, but My Grandfather dipped the Copenhagen to a ripe old age, and his Father also, since they were like 12, working the railroads as old Italian immigrants! Keep a can of the Copenhagen in the freezer have one once and a while and Snus more regular. Snusburgh

Raymond, I also am an ex-American snuff dipper who has recently converted to full time snuser. I discovered this wonderful Swedish product a little over a year ago and to be honest, at first, I didn't really care for it. When I opened the unusually large can of this strange stuff I found the smell was odd and pungent and the taste was even more wierd. After awhile of getting curious again and letting my cans of General, Ettan and Probe original portion sit untouched for a couple of weeks, I gave it another go and found myself eventually growing very fond of it and wanting more. Anyway, I ran out and eventually went back to dipping the crappy American snuff again until here recently. I found that I was tired of dipping a product with no limitations on how many awful additives could be put in it and no restrictions on the production process and I was honestly just tired and bored with the snuff here in the States and found myself craving snus again. So, here I sit with a can of my favorite, General original portion, and happily content. I thought I'd like it better in the bottom lip too at first, but after getting used to putting it upstairs I like that better. Anyway, I'm glad this product is available here in the U.S. and happy snusing.
