Well, I got home this morning to find my order of Skruf Stark portionsnus arrived yesterday while I was at work!
I had been getting by with Copenhagen pouches by using them as one would snus. The taste was pure awful, but they supply one with plenty of nicotine.
Also, I had picked up a tin of Camel original flavor snus, and I have to admit, even though they tasted like Nestea with lemon, and were tiny, they tasted good and worked.
Now, at long last I have had the real thing. Of course, the tins all went in the fridge, and I opened the first one as soon as I could. I was instantly hit with the smell of tea and bergamot, which I like a lot. I take Earl Grey hot with a little honey, for future reference.
The portions were moist and fresh, and I found I had to try one right away, so I swished with water, sucked the area above my lip dry and popped one in. How swell.
The portion fits in there nicely and if one presses it flat, one may conceal it nicely there. I got a nice little burn, and enjoyed that pouch for an hour or more while wife, child and I did a little shopping.
It's got a bit of a saltiness to it, but the bergamot is a nice touch. This is way better than dipping could ever be!
One gets a decent nicotine kick from them, too. I bet I can make each tin last two or three days at least.
Now, at $4.50 per pack for cigarettes, and $4.69 per tin for Copenhagen, these are far better quality than dip and way easier on the gums, and at $4.00 per tin, they seem a bargain for such a good product.
I can see where R.J. Reynolds found their inspiration for their Original flavor snus, but they had to make it small and sweet to appease a mass market of idiots who like things easy and will settle for a fascimile rather than the true thing.
The tins Skruf comes in are plastic, and retain a nice seal while offering a place to stow a pack in the top lid. This will come in handy when I get a call and have to remove a fresh pouch while at work.
Kudos to snus, now it's time to do some more shopping for more so I can anticipate another glorious shipment to try.
Wheeeee!
