I started snusing last summer and in the beginning I managed to get all brands I wish to but as my country joined EU now it is so difficult.I like General the most and like to try Montechristo.Could someone write me is there any way to get those brands through some web shops while you are the citizen of EU?
Now I use many various brands I can find,like Off Road,Scruf,Odens and non of them are good to me like General was.The best I can buy at the moment is Jacobsson's but from Snusline you can't buy my favourite(Jacobsson's Classic Strong Portion) at any time.It's suprising that Jacobsson's Classic Portion has completely different taste than Jacobsson's Classic Strong Portion.The first one I don't like at all,but the second has the very nice flavour to me - what do you think about that?
I've also done a lot of researching in different sort of oral tobaccos last year and finally find snus is the best for me.Also have tried recently the famous pigtail(Gawith Kendal black and brown) but not like the strong flavour of smoke.

What is makla?How is it supposed to use,like snus or like dip?

Makla is similar to snus in that it's a moist smokeless tobacco
, it's ground finer and moister and also has a much higher PH level so the nicotine content of it is more noticeable. You can use it either In your upper lip or lower lip but start with small amounts as it can but very hard! Personally I cannot stand it and think its vile but V2 now do thunder chewing tobacco and chew bags which is basically loose and portion snus but with chewing tobacco written on the can.

I've never tried "Dissolvable tobacco" and I'm not sure what it is. If you live in the EU you might try Snusline. Our EU members seem to like it because of the free shipping.

Thank you Trebli for the links.It seems to be worth trying order some snus from Snusline.It's interesting and I don't know why is so I am able to order just a few brands from Snusline,as same as from the Swedish -snus(Odens,Thunder,Scruf,Phantom and Jacobson).Not so long ago I was able to order from Mysnus almost every snus brands I could imagine like General,Ethan's,Montecristo and so on...But never mind,I'm sure I 'll find between mentioned snus something could satisfie me.
I got some information about Samuel Gawin's pigtail and it seems you could use it pretty the same way like Oliver Twist but I suppose Samuel Gawin's is much more stronger...

Mino, I have never tried the product you are talking about, but smokeless is popular in my part of the country. This company has a large listing of smokeless. Maybe what you are looking for: http://us.northerner.com/american-ch...html?limit=all
and http://us.northerner.com/chewing-tob...-bits-int.html

Thank you very much for links Trebli.I saw a few products on the Northerner of "Dissolvable tobacco", what is that?

As my country has entered in EU recently I have no more much of a snus choice like I did.For example I haven't found opportunity to order General which is my best.So I've turned to the other kind of chewing tobacco.After SnusSTS's correction I contacted Samuel Gawin's in Switzerland again and they recommended me "pigtail".There is black and brown Samuel Gawin's pigtail tobacco and on the picture looks very nice,tasty and interesting.Description of the producer sounds good too.I like to try it, it seems you have to cut the pigtail in small peaces and then chew.Could someone give me advice about method of using, is there anyone who have tried it or have tried something similar?

Yesterday I got two cans of scruf portion from Swedish-snus but I was so disappointed; those were almost out of date and the taste was really bad.Inside one of these can portions are sticked to each other so tightly- when you go to apart them there arise mess with watten.I think I will never order again.This is not the first time I got snus products from Sweden which is close to the end of date.I like snus the most of oral tobacco I've tried but there is no other solution than turn to the Oliver Twist from Ebay: Always when I have ordered those I got them very fresh.

Sorry for the confusion - the product you'd be looking for at Samuel Gawith is referred to as "twist" , not "plug", my fault for sending you down the wrong path. It's tobacco twisted into ropes - you cut come and chew

I'm really confused.As I liked very much to try plug and liked to buy a real good one I concacted Samuel Gawin's in Britain,they had suggested me writting to Switzerland to the main distributer for EU countries and I had done this but they replied Samuel Gawin's plugs was in the first place tobacco for pipes and that there was no different in plug for smoking and plugs for chewing but that they had no experience someone used Samuel Gawin's plug like chewing tobacco!?

nothing satisfies like a big wallop of cope snuff from time to time

[SnusSTS]

Thank you very much Grim.I 've followed your advice and was suprised how much I was satisfied with the taste of Copenhagen.It seems I would like the dip more than snus but it's really huge disadvantage of dip or kind of dip the fact that you have to spit all the time when saliva comes. It is so inconvenient!You simply have to be alone while enjoying it.Otherwise you may be disgusting to the others.Is it the same with the plug?

Dip is part of the US culture, although lots of people do find the "spit vessel" disguising, i.e. MudJug, can, bottle, etc. where a dipper will spit. Dip being literally unknown in your parts of Europe - you would likely be considered the most disguising person around

Btw, you are the only person I know of that used snus as a gateway towards other more dangerous forms of tobacco, the perfect poster child for the stupid EU ban

That said, I am all for freedom of adults to choose their tobacco use, so if you want to try a real plug, take a look at the Samuel Gawith offers.

Bottom lip. These are made to be used like dip but less messy so when you spit it out you do not have dip in your teeth. I have tried putting these in the upper lip like snus and it doesn't taste good plus I am wary of swallowing dip juice. It is meant to be spat out unlike snus which you can swallow. I do have friends that swallow dip but I would advise against it cause it can make you sick.

If you want to try dip I would say get the loose kind and do it. The pouches are great but do not satisfy the same way a big pinch from a regular can would do.

But put the pouches in your bottom lip either directly in front or just to the side and draw upon it succulently and then spit when you feel the need.
