SNUS that's appealing or at least non-offensive when kissing

[elothen]

I've been smoking for about 5 years and it has had a really negative impact on intimate moments with the wife. She absolutely abhors smoking and the taste just makes her not want to kiss me at all. (at least not on the mouth ) The times I've managed to stay off the sticks for several days/weeks we've always had a revival of make out sessions, etc. Now that I'm switching to SNUS (28 hours cig free btw!) I'm concerned that she'll find the taste of SNUS mouth equally unappealing. I'm currently sucking on General White, which although not offensive to me I'm pretty sure she won't be a fan.

So, here's where you experienced types come in. I'd like your feedback on...

How long after removing a portion does the aftertaste linger (e.g. can I just go without for an hour before I get home and she won't even be able to tell)

How good is gum/mouth wash at covering up the smell/taste of SNUS?

Are there any particular brands/flavors that are less offensive/maybe even actually appealing to a 2nd party playing with your tonsils?

Now keep in mind that I'm not trying to hide my SNUS usage from her, I'm just looking for ways to keep from seriously turning her off due to the taste. Then again, maybe I'll get home tonight, lay one on her, and she'll be all up on my jock. Regardless just losing the smoke smell from my clothes, hair (wait, don't have any), and when I breathe on her will be a VAST improvement. Maybe any disdain for the SNUS taste will be so minimal compared to the smoke taste that it just won't matter.

Anyhow, thanks for your thoughts/experience!

Two words: General Mint

[texasmade]

swig of water or tea or any drink will take the taste right out...also second the mint.

3rd that....general mint

Oomph Snus! She probably won't even know its even there even if you were kissing her with a portion in your mouth!

I haven't tried the new General Mint full size, but if it's anything like the mini mint, I will echo what everyone else has said.

Oomph is another that I haven't tried, but being a "purified" portion, I can imagine that it would not have much of a tobacco taste. Also, the people who make Oomph also make one called Wine and Dine I believe, that isn't the strongest, but has little or no flavor (it's designed for people who want to be able to taste food without any interference from their snus' flavoring).

Excellent, thanks all! Naturally neither of the suggested ones are in my order but that can be remedied quickly. Also, despite her skepticism about SNUS actually being a healthy alternative she did admit it was nice to have the smoke smell gone.

Once you have the portion out just a swish of water and a mint should do it. Don't try any deep kissing with the portion in. First of all it won't stay put. Secondly, my wife uses the Oomph! purified portions, and I can still sense them. Of course it doesn't bother me!

I usually have Göteborgs Rapé in situations where there is a chance I could kiss someone, because it's the least-offensive-tasting snus of those I like to use. I have kissed a couple girls with a portion in my mouth and haven't got complaints.

But the real question is... did you get a 2nd date after tha? I kid! I kid!

Well, here's my smoochin' n' snussin' experience.

I started on snus last summer and my girlfriend at the time hated it, said it was gross, all that stuff. Kind of annoying, it wasn't even loose and if I hadn't told her I was doing it she'd never even know. But I digress. Not wanting to catch any shit about it, I'd generally snus when she wasn't around. One night we were at my place and I went to take a shower, which is an excellent chance to enjoy a nagless snus. After I showered and dried off, I spit the snus (I'm pretty sure it was a flavored Offroad, but not sure exactly) into the toilet without rinsing my mouth (in the toilet or otherwise), got dressed, joined her on the couch and kissed her. "Did you brush your teeth?" she inquired? "Your breath smells great!"

"HAHAHA!! Nope, I just spit out a snus. I thought you said, 'that shit is disgusting!!'" was my typically mature response.

Oh how I loved to bring that up anytime thereafter when she'd bitch about snus being disgusting.

Anyway, I took two things from this experience:

1. If she was gonna hound me about nasty habits anyway, I'd show her truly nasty by starting up smoking again. (Luckily I have quit again in the past few months).

and

2. Women, as always, ruin everything.

Jeff-

Oh no you didn't....

Women don't ruin everything, they just complain about it. Totally different thing.

Ive had girls mention that I "taste good" when I had a claq qui in. haha.

My wife snuses, so not a problem. But there's a nasty new fetish involving swapping snus portions. I like the flavor, baby, but your fluids bring something special to it. Real tasty. :P
