Just got my first shipment...EVER.

[Whitak3r]

I just got my Thunder Extra Strak Frosted Snus. Just popped one into my mouth. Have to say so far I do like it. I am getting the buzz from it that I need to not smoke anymore. This stuff is STRONG!I love it so far. I don't care for the smell that much, it's not THAT bad, but I am used to smelling camel snus frost, so I'm not going to complain. I LOVE the taste. So far so good. Thanks for all the reviews guys!

I don't care for any of the mints I have tried ie General products, so I been a little afraid to purchase Thunder Frosted ES.

Congratulations on your first shipment. I wouldn't stock up on flavored stuff too much though. Eventually the minty, fruity stuff will be blah.

so so so right. i made the same mistake but with a variety of flavored stuff and now, i really wish i would have ordered some more General Original, i like it a lot.

[spirit72]

Glad you're enoying it!

[Snusdog]

Ah yes there is nothing like your first……….(sigh)…..


No wait……...what are we talking about?


Anyway enjoy

and I second the caution of stocking up on flavored.

For now just sample a variety.

Brands you thought you were going to love will be so so

A can you just threw in with no expectation will be your favorite.

Keep us posted and expect your taste to change with time.

Im glad you found something you like. You are going to have a great time trying a bunch of different varieties over the next couple of months. That being said, I know that when I first quit the sticks having a variety around really helped. It seemed like I had so much snus to sample that my nicotine intake was way to far through the roof for me to even consider sparking up a smoke. Just a thought.

I third it...

I bought a roll of General Wintergreen when I first started snusing. It was a big mistake. I loved the 1st 3 cans and absolutely hated the last 3 cans.

Be real careful about stocking up on any flavoured snus when you first start snusing.

That could NEVER be a mistake!

Don't listen to this even a little bit. Sure, try everything out there. I would always recommend that. But if you like the mints, they may never get old. I have been using Theunder Frost ES since day 1, and its still my favorite. So much so that I ordered the Thunder Frost Longs, because of the little bit of less nicotene, and now they are the only brand I use.

Everyone is different when it comes to snus, so when one person tells you this or that is going to happen, it means absolutely nothing, because that may not pertain to you.

Try all the snus. Your tastes tend to change over time, and you may like/dislike different snus as time goes on. But if mint is your thing, no worries about it getting old. Thunder Frost remains the king in my book and I am not getting sick of it even a little bit.

On shipping and first time use...

After watching the 60 Minutes story last week, I placed two orders - one to Northerner.com (UPS 2nd day air = $40.00 ...shipped from Pa.) and one with buysnus.com (Swedish postal system = $8.00/15 cans). I've been waiting for 4 days now for UPS (should arrive today according to their tracker). Buysnus.com package arrived yesterday (4 days after I placed the order). Thus...buysnus.com is the ONLY way to go, for me.
My concern is more for the taste though. I've been a pack a day smoker for over 30 years. Maybe I don't know what real unadulterated tobacco is supposed to taste like but...this stuff is going to take some getting used to! Nothing like the Camel stuff I purchased here in the states. I ordered 3/5packs of Goteborgs Rape No.2, Ettan and Skruf original portion. Tried a few packs of each and can't really tell that much difference. Really salty! I just placed an order for some of the minty stuff as I like the fact that my cigarette usage dropped dramatically with the Camel frost and mellow brands I've been using. They are just too sugary to stay with though. Wish I had found this forum before ordering. Thanks to everyone for their input.

For me, snus was an aquired taste. It is different than what I'd ever had before. But it takes about a week to get used to it, and then you can tell the differences, and the high salt taste goes away.

Welcome, Bret. I guess you've read on this forum, or elsewhere, that the salty taste will begin to ease up and you'll be able to notice the difference between Ettan and Skruf, etc. in a week or two. I assume you want to cut down on/quit smoking cigarettes, and I think you've found a good way to do that, based on my experience and others'.

[sagedil]

Welcome to Snuson Bret1962,

Exactly what MojoQuestor said.

Also, don't ever use UPS again. Not a good move. That Northerner order would have arrived in 2 days had you not used UPS. It is even more important when ordering from Sweden as using UPS opens you up to having to pay "brokerage" fees as well.

true, but unless day 1 was a few months before you started posting here id say your tastes are still subject to change.
