Thread: Snus

I know we got a few Nordic/Swedish users on here i want to get your opinion on Snus(or anyone who uses Snus)
Is it better than smoking?, American chew?

good question i am also interisted i may have to go buy some and try it if no one speaks up

I'm sure you'll get some opinions as soon as Scandinavia comes on-line. The stuff I tried I liked better than the dip I've tried in the States. Then again I think everything tastes better in Norway. Just more pure, unspoiled. I'm sure I'm wrong 'cos I think even the cigarettes taste better out there, and that can't be right.

Do you mean "snuff"?

nope Snus is a Swedish tabacco prouduct

Ive been using snus lately and like it, no muss, no fuss like dip(ugh). Camel has come up with a decent variety of flavors and a single pouch can last all day.

I use Copenhagen moderately going through a tin or less in a week. I have had some of the young fellows who come into the shop tell me about this Snus.

I have been told that you don't have to spit ? That doesn't make sense to me. I will give it a try and see how I like it but it will have to be awfully good to shoot Copenhagen out of the saddle.

There is another good product from Scandinavia called Oliver Twist. It also comes in various flavors and in different strengths of nicotine. I have tried it and it is very convenient and also not as messy as the usual dip.

I can't find any Day's Work or Brown Mule plug around anymore. I used to see guys chew that in my younger days. I had a hankering for a plug of that myself and when I went around asking I couldn't find anyone who had ever heard of it.

I used to see plug around here once in a while. Haven't looked for a long time. Haven't even taken a dip in about 20 years. Try a local tobacco shop they may carry it. They are all over out here in Utah.

There aren't any tobacco shops around me. The nearest is 25 or 30 miles and they deal more in expensive cigars and pipes then in chewing tobacco. I googled Days Work and Brown Mule and found a source but it is bulk and you have to buy $45.00 worth. I haven't chewed plug in thirty years. Wouldn't mind trying a piece and if I liked it buy the bulk but I won't spend forty five bucks to find out.

More than likely not exactly the same, but Skol Bandits are pouches with snuff inside. I've not noticed any snus around here, but then I haven't been looking either.
