Rotation?

[Badfish74]

I was just wondering if I was OCD, weird, or completely normal!!

I have a daily ritual rotation of snus that keeps me from getting burnt out on anything.

It goes like this:

First thing when I wake up I have an Elixyr energy followed directly by a Thunder Frosted. I hardly ever touch those the rest of the day.

After breakfast I have a stark or ES los. Followed by, and always in this order: a strong portion, a regular portion, a white portion. Then back to the stark or ES los, and the cycle begins again. Occasionally I'll substitute the strong los for something like Goat Rape or one of the Norstrommen's LTD.

Does anyone do this, and if so, I'd like to hear it! 8)

Your just odd

[covetousjew]

i too have a set rotation for my snus its the only way to do it

[Badfish74]

Well cj, I guess we're both just odd!

I'm kinda OCD anyway and have a set routine for just about everything. It drives my wife nuts! She's like, "why couldn't have the good OCD stuff like being a neat freak?!"

A messy house does drive me nuts, but I also have this other affliction called laziness! 8)

Historically, I haven't had a rotation so to speak, but absolutely varied my snus all over the place so didn't overdo any one. Early in my snus experience, had several turn on me (Nick & Johnny to name one). But why for at least 18 months, I bought over 20 different snus at a time.

I am heading into a much more stable rotation though. Have a roll of Odens Cinnamon Sterk, plus Camel white and Retro white. so I will pair up either retro or the Camel with the Odens on a mostly daily basis. But I have 9 other sterks coming to switch up with the Odens every other one. and I have 10 other non sterks coming so I can go one can of Retro, One can of Camel, then something different, and then back to the Retro, etc.
Just suddenly, I am liking the three more than any other snus. So doing a bunch but still adding variety so not to overdo.

i hear ya badfish i truly do have the ocd and my wife gets so pissed at me but what to do

I open my mini fridge in the morning and grab my three tins for the day without even looking. If I did look, I'd be standing there forever trying to decide what I wanted. :wink:

I do try to mix up strongs and regulars, though.

...If I did look, I'd be standing there forever trying to decide what I wanted.....

Even after I decide, I sometimes change my mind. :roll:
I've got 16 open cans at the moment.

[Badfish74]

I normally switch brands between cycles.

For strong portions I have N&J, Claq Qui, and Grov Svart(I know that ones a white, but hey nobody's perfect).

For regular portions I have Pall Mall, JTI Camel, Retro, and Lucky Strike, and Gotlands green.

For white portions I have Ettan, Roda Lacket, GR, GR#2, Skruf Stark, and N&J West(I know the last 2 are strongs, but ya know the whole prfect thing).

For los it's GES, Oden's ES Classic, and Skruf Stark.

For the rare non strong los it's GR, one of the Nordstrommen's LTD, Gotlands grey and the occasional Prima Fint.

Nitey nite snus is L D Black, or General Wintergreen.

What can I say? I like variety! 8)

I have a Strong portion or los open for AM, Ettan for all day mixed with a mini of some sort and a flavored for after meals.

You are normal for an OCD, weird person IMO

I like the variety as well!

Ok, I start with an ES portion. Nasal snuff while brushing teeth. Go regular strength loose all day. Probe loose with my first beer in the evening. ES and skruf stark loose the rest of the night. ES portion for bed.

Repeat...

I start the day with a sterk while I'm still in bed.
Then I have a dip of some sort of long cut chew in the shower.
Then I have a cigarette on the ride to work.
With my first cup of coffee at work I have a sterk portion.
I may have 2 or 3 more portions before lunch.
After lunch I have 4 or 5 more portions at work. Regular, sterk, or white. I mix.
I usually have a cigarette on the ride home from work.
When I get home I have a loose sterk.
After supper I have loose snus. 2 to 4 prillas before bed.
I wake up sometimes with a portion in. I think in the waning hours of the night I grab a portion and don't realize it until morning.

If I only use portions I use around 15 a day. I mix it up.

On any day I don't have to work I use loose snus, no cigarettes, and sometimes some dip.

When the weather requires chores to be done outside I use more chaw and dip.

holy shit bakerbarber, that's excessive. Pick one and stick to it. HEH.

I don't really have a "rotation," but I do keep a few brands on hand for my various moods.

Ettan loose and Grov white portions are my staples. I always have rolls on hand and I rarely tire of them. The majority of the snus I use throughout the day will likely be one of these brands, depending on if I'm at home or out (I use loose at home, portions while out). Grov loose sometimes stands in for Ettan loose, but I don't order rolls of it these days due to my overwhelming preference for Grov.

When I want something a bit sweet, I usually go for Roda Lacket loose. Other times I'll get one or two cans each of Gotlands Yellow loose and Gotlands Grey loose. Sometimes I go for a few cans of Gotlands Green portion or their Julesnus during the holidays. I also enjoy Knox loose for it's coarse grind and balanced citrus flavor. I don't buy these in rolls, but I usually have a few cans of 1-3 of these on hand.
