Ariva Dissolvable Tablets

[danielan]

Get her some sweet girly portioned snus in a pretty can and see if you can't talk her into using it just around the house at first.

What is the most "girly" snus available in the US now? Fellinni Mint?

I'll have to let her read about them and see what she thinks.

Oomph ... the perfectly chic accessory


With a flavor for every occasion.
Goes well with any attire -- daytime or nighttime.

What more could a cool chick ask for??

(I'm not being too sexist, am I?)

Maybe

But you're also right.

Oomph has a very subtle flavor, you pretty much have to lick the portion to taste it.

The can does not look like a can of dip. It's slim so it doesn't make a dip can looking bulge or fill her purse. It has a section for used portions so it's clean.

The portions are small and dry. The portion material is very nice.

You really don't get a tobacco flavor from them. They don't stain your teeth.

You just get nicotine and a tiny bit of flavor.

If I could only have 1 snus - this would be it.

I've never been able to find Ariva, including at Walgreens, but Stonewall seems to now be readily available in many convenience stores and gas stations. I like Stonewall Natural and Java, and I'd probably like the Wintergreen if I liked wintergreen flavor, which I don't especially. I don't like Stonewall as much as snus, but buy some occasionally for a change of pace.

With the e-cigs, they now have cheaper (to start with) disposable versions that are intended to let people see if they like it before investing in the more expensive reusable ones. (I'm a pipe smoker and have no experiene with the e-cig, but I have tried the e-pipe. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but mine quit working properly within a year. It was too expensive a gadget to have that happen--in my experience, only the pricey original Ruyan version was worth the effort. A cheap knock-off version I tried tasted like crap, regardless what type of nicotine cartridges you "smoked" in it. So I gave it up and stuck with snus as my (ever growing) smoking substitute. But I could see a cigarette smoker being satisfied with the cheaper e-cigs regardless of taste since, frankly, flavor is less relevant to sucking in cigarette smoke than it is to savoring pipe smoke.)

Thanks. I'll look and see if I can find Stonewall around here.

I read a lot about the e-cigs this morning and the thing that stood out most to me seemed to be......those things are complicated. I do like the idea of the cheaper disposables to try out before plopping down $120 on something you may or may not like. Thanks for the info.

I'm going to see if the tobacco shop in my area that carries General has any of the Ariva or Stonewall tablets and she's going to try them.

Now that I think about it, I have seen Ariva and Stonewall at a tobacco shop around here. If you can't find any let me know..

If I could only have 1 snus - this would be it.

I've been wanting to try some but it seems to be available only from overseas --

So far I've been leery of the whole customs finnaglo (neat word, huh!) although
I'm anxiously awaiting a backorder from getsnus (didn't know it had to come
from Sweden.. they just notified me of that fact).

If I lived in Virginia and couldn't readily find Stonewall locally,
I would seriously consider visiting their headquarters (Star Scientific
in VA) to voice my concerns.

Too bad they can't be sub-headquartered elsewhere
(like in Taxachusetts).

Oops! I had no idea!

There just happens to be 1 more day of US Mail-ability...

I'll send you another of my "Super-Sized Sample Packs" - I'll even double it this time...

So, yeah, 4 more portions just for you.

[snusgetter]

Woww-zer!!

After seeing this:

Maybe I should reconsider posting this:

(I reconsidered my reconsider and decided not to reconsider.)


For some unfathomable reason the section for used Oomph portions reminds
me of an old Studebaker (or maybe I'm finally catching up to my senility)

Ya gotta admit that's some classy chassis!!!


btw, Dan, I don't care what anyone says about you...

Okay, so I found a tobacco shop in the area that sales Stonewall. I'm going Thursday to pick up a couple packs for my wife to try out.

I've been in e-mail contact with Brad Rodu, who it turns out was at UAB for 16 years before he left for Louisville. Great guy, he's been a real help on trying to locate this stuff.

On a funny note, I was in CVS the other day, so i figured I'd ask if they had Ariva or Stonewall. They didn't have it at the front with the tobacco products, so I thought I'd ask in the pharmacy section. The look of horror on their faces when I asked and they said, "It's tobacco?" was priceless. It was seriously like I just asked if they sold heroin.

If anybody cares, I'll update on what she thinks when we get it.

Most definitely...

I picked up four of the small packets of Stonewall yesterday. The ones with five in each pack. I got one of Natural, one Wintergreen and two Java.

They had the packs that come with 20, but I figured it was better to let her try all the flavors and see which one she liked better.

She called me about an hour ago, and said she tried one of the Wintergreen at work and liked it. She's going to try the Java next and see what she thinks. I'm betting she's not going to like Natural, but hopefully she'll like to switch up between Wintergreen and Java.

If it's anything like US Snus (i.e. Marlboro/Camel) then natural (mild, rich, mellow, etc) seems to mean "Butterscotch-like" and is quite tasty - if you like butterscotch.

Initially I didn't like the Natural -- pretty much a straight tobacky taste...
But now I don't mind them; in fact I reach for them just for something different
(of course I snus regularly but these do come in handy for some situations or for
just a change of pace).

Try to get some Oomph (3 or 6 mg) for when she's ready to try something new;
from what I've heard, they really are discreet. Dan could tell you...

And speaking of discreet, Northerner/Getsnus also has the US Snus Discreet line,
although their flavors are not natural.


btw, how much for a 5-pack?
