Thinking about getting into sterks...

[Thunder_Snus]

Not according to Swedish Match, but some shops sell it anyway. As they should :-)

I"m pretty loyal to buysnus and they still have that disclosure on onyx. I guess I don't really like onyx enough to try another place.

Even though you don't like General - I would definitely toss in a can of General Extra Strong OP to an order. It's a whole different taste to me it's slightly sweet with much more dominant tobacco. And I second Nick & Johnny - whites or OP - it's a whole different taste to anything else, hints of ginger and liquorice - but no dominant taste - almost like cola at times. I think it's delicious.

Cheers

I know I'd run through a brick wall if they ever sold Onyx in the states.

I find that I am ordering more Onyx these days. At 11mg it is just right for me. I do like the General,Nick and Johnny,Jacobssons and Grov sterks with more tobacco flavor though. Fruity and minty Snus does nothing for me.

I liked Onyx and for years it was my favorite....now I can't stand it. One day, you may get your wish, but first snus will have to gain much more acceptance in the US before Swedish Match would ever do that. We'll have to wait and see

If you use sterks, use them sparingly. I got on sterks heavily and basically destroyed my ability to use regular portions. At my ''peak'' I was/am using 16-20 ES portions daily (Thunder Frosted Portion/Lös), and when I go back to regular portions I have to double up. Occasionally I'll go on a ES Lös bender and if I try to use regular portions, I'm up to 4 portions at a time. Sterks are great, but if you use them as your all day snus you might as well kiss regular portions/lös goodbye.

Dude..this is totally where I am now, lol. It sucks too, and I'm about to start taking it down a notch. I think it's starting to affect my sleep schedule, not sure...but I'll find out when I dial it back. I should know better because I did this several years ago and had to wean myself then.

Haha! It sucks doesn't it? I've got terrible insomnia from it as well. Hell... it's 2 am and I'm still up browsing the net. I have a bad schedule to begin with, but the sterks don't help. It's tough weaning back on the ES portions too, I feel as if regular portions have no effect. I end up getting those nasty withdrawal headaches when I skip the sterks. I've been using some e liquid (vapor) to try to fill the gap between portions, but I'm not sure if that's counter-productive or not.

Doesn't it make sense that your tolerance for los wouldn't go up because you could just put in a big pris of regular los?

I mean.. if I wanted to make a pris with 1/2 a can of regular lös; sure. The prillas I make with ES lös are already gigantic. Sadly, I didn't really exercise restraint with my lös.

[TheBlackVomit]

I've been avoiding ES los for that reason. I can't do regular portions at all though.

I'm happy to have the 4 flavors of General available locally. Of course more variety would be even better.
