Dan, I was trying to be funny, and I came off as cynical, and an ass! I never want to hurt your feelings. Hope you find the "one"! I have maintained on snus now for 4 years, and to tell you the truth, none of them make my mouth water at the thought, I am always searching for the "ONE", and I may never find it really.
But I keep looking. First time I tried dip I was 54 years old, I puked within 5 minutes, and the trouble was i was driving at the time........!

Four + years of snusing, and i am on pins and needles awaiting delivery of GN's Islay portion snus, He sent me a sample LOS that was as close as a bingo, go to snus, as I have had. He did that with the Melon, I loved the LOS, but the portions didn't measure up. I am trying to choke down the rest of two rolls ATM. and... it is not pretty.

Seems a lot of flavors are used on sub standard tobacco. But the Islay was a great subtle flavor on crafted tobacco.......come on truck!

Sorry bout that Dan, whatever works for you is good...dip has gotten safer as recent data has
shown, but that fire cured tobacco is what makes dip so carcinogenic, and also imparts flavor.
Every time I have tried dip, it tasted horrible. Far cheaper than snus. I went straight from a 44 year smoking habit to snus, but harm reduction with snus has a big impact on choosing it instead of dip.

Dan...a small rat turd will also make dip taste better!

It might, indeed whalen. But Snus alone no longer does it for me.

I'll pass along your suggestion to other Redneck Dippers like myself.

I'm going to guess they've already tried that combo.

Wow, that's a mouthful!

What is it about dip that "does it for you", that snus doesn't provide? Just wondering?

This is an update on my recent posts re leaving Snus for Dip.

Just before selling off my last stock of Snus and returning to Dip (only) ....and cigars: I had a thought. Never was one to think outside the box, me.

What if I double dozed a Dip with a Los?

Well....the first Snus I loved was Offroads Los Lakrits. And I had a few remaining cans of that still left.

So I tried a two tick ice tool of Los Lakrits right underneath (or on top) of a Dip of Cope Wintergreen/or Cope Black/or Skoal Fine Cut (whatever) and it made the Dip ten times better.

Not leaving Snus after all.

When I decided to give up smoking, more than a year ago, even though I wasn´t a hard smoker, about 5-8 cigarettes per day, I knew it was going to be difficult to give up because I tried several times and always failed. I remembered a Swedish customer I have that was a snuser, I knew him as a customer but he became a friend, first time I met him he offered something strange that he uses to put in his mouth, “What is that?????” I asked him, “Is snus, it´s a very common way to use tobacco in Sweden” he said, I refused, it was too weird for me. When I decided to give up smoking, I remembered that strange black stuff and realized that it could help me with cigarettes, so I ordered some to Northerner and I discovered a wonderful stuff that now I love it. I think you have to be a little open minded to try new things like this, I offered a lot of people snus to help them with tobacco, talking about all the good things about snus, but either because is a new thing that people never heard about or because I´m surrounded by hard minded people, no one wants to try. So I understand you how frustrating is to try to offer something much better than smoking and people don´t want to try because of they are afraid of new things.

I think the main problem is that your average joe has a very big misconception as to what snus is and is not. Hell some haven't even heard of it at all. Some think it's chew, which it of course is not. As such, they think it's as bad as chew and will not try it. To others it's a foreign name. Many times I tell people I do snus, they have no idea what it is. The few that do know what it is and have tried it recall trying marlboro or camel. Which of course, compared to real Swedish snus is crap.

I can tell you it was probably... 2006 when I first tried snus. I've been a dipper since I was 14 and still on the occasion use dip (Only Timberwolf/Redman as I'm now a Swedish Match Loyalist) when I get the urge. Anyways, I started smoking and had heard of snus from some older friends of mine and decided to order some cans from northerner. I can still remember what I got, Kronan Los, Nick & Johnny Los, Skruf Original Portion, Skruf Cranberry Portion. My curiosity is what drove me to switch to snus and after my 4 cans were up decided not to buy anymore. Continued to smoke, and dip until about 2 years ago when I saw that my local tobacco shop had just got a brand new gloss black general snus chiller. After that day I haven't touched a single cigarette and almost exclusively gave up dip for about a year.



I guess what I'm saying is, my curiosity is what led me to try snus. Also I can deffinately say Skruf Cranberry is one of my all time favorite snuses.
