    !)

    A combination of the result of my first ever pris of snus (a load of it down my chin, no less!) and the fact that I thought 'Snusbeard' sounds like some sort of nicotine-infused pirate.

      My name starts with T (Tim), so I have had the nickname "T-Bone" at various times throughout my life - although I still don't know why (no, I don't regularly eat t-bone steaks). I attend university (Ph.D. studies) at University of Iowa, and their team name is 'Hawkeyes', or 'Hawks' for short. There you go - I just put the two together.

        There is no real story behind mine, it's just my last name.

          And all this time I thought Coffey's name was a reference to blaxploitation films... It turns out the classic Pam Grier film name is spelled 'Coffy'. My bad. I knew there was a 'y' at the end, though.

              It's a great film if you ever decide to rent it! A woman's revenge on a drug cartel. There's a great scene where Pam Grier pulls a switchblade out of her afro!

                Hi,

                Im new to the forum having recently changed from cigarettes to snus. It is so much nicer and I am already seeing the health benefits of not smoking. Im on the portion snus for now while I get used to it properly but am looking forward to trying some loose very soon.

                As for my nick big_andy_25. I am big (read as fat), called andy and when I started using that nick I was 25. Im now 28 but im used to the _25 so cant change it.

                I should probably introduce myself. Im Andy, a Dr in the UK. I got into snus after a friend gave me a tin of general portion. I loved it and found I had very little urge to smoke while using it. Initially I wasnt keen to switch but having read much of the research on snus Vs cigarettes I decided to make the change. As a Dr I cant say its good for you but I am convinced that it is significantly less harmful than smoking. For me the level of risk associated with snus is worth the benefit.

                Bye for now

                Andy

                  I chose my user name because Soft Morning, City! is the moniker under which I record and play music. I have to use a moniker because my real name is Chris Robinson and there are already a few musicians with that name.

                  I chose that moniker as a result of reading Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. It basically means, "Greetings, City!" It is taken from the beginning of Anna Livia's Soliloquy at the end of the book.

                    i got Stargazer from the song by Rainbow.
                    I was really into rainbow when i started to use forums on the web.
                    So it was a natural choice.

                          well one of my favorite bands is Opeth. who hail from Stockholm, Sweden.

                          i chose 'realm of' for...just basically the mental environments triggered by Opeth's lyrics and CD booklet artwork.
                          and my avatar is a cover of their latest album, Ghost Reveries.
