Snus for office environment or meetings

[Sal1000us]

I have been snusing loose over a month now and I am ready to put my second order. I was wondering what you recommend when I am out in the public or the office environment, meetings, etc. I was thinking mint flavor is probably the one I should get but wasn’t sure if I should get the original portion or white portion and also what brand.

Thanks all

Are you asking what los for office/meetings? Cause if not, any portion will do... I tried los once in that environment, that wasn't a good idea...

When I am going into a meeting, I push the portion back by my molars. It will get pretty juice for a few minutes, so I bring coffee or tea to help gut the juices.

I use sterk or extra sterk portions for meetings. Depending on your environment, you can get away with loose if you want, especially if you're good at baking. I use portions when I can't get to a trash can for long periods of time, or I carry an empty can with me for disposal.

I am pretty sure I can’t use loose in the meetings. I have been baking a small and tight pris but still can see the bulge under the lip and also after about 30-40 minutes it becomes muddy and starts running down to the base of my teeth and the slightest smile will show the snus.

All of the above is ok, I will be enjoying loose at home but need to find a portion snus that is suitable for meetings, for example, if I am sitting 12 or so inches across from someone, I don’t want them to be able to smell the snus on me and that is why I asked if I should use mint flavor.

Reading the replies: it seems like it doesn’t necessarily have to be mint flavored.

Thanks

I don't think I have EVER had someone smell my snus. I simply don't think that would ever be an issue.

I would probably stick with a sterk, just to lessen the times I needed to use one.

Mocha plus mini.

[Sal1000us]

Thanks guys, added the following portions to the order. I will try them all and will certainly find a favorite(s)

All portion
- 1 can Skruf Stark White
- 1 can Skruf Stark Portion
- 1 cans General Extra Sterk
- 2 can General Sterk Portion
- 1 can Claq Qui, Strong Portion ( heard alot of good stuff on this forum)
- 1 can Grovsnus, Black Portion
- 1 can Mocha plus mini

I should also add that I am really excited (never had a choice like this when I was smoking, same damn brand for almost 20 years and another brand for 10 years and the taste was always the same)

If you like licorice, I recommend LD Black. The flavor lasts a very long time... Good for meetings imo.

Sal1000us, you just hit what has made snus so remarkable special for so many of us. Before snus, I never cared about tobacco. It was just a damn cigarette, who cared about "taste" But snus has opened up for me this appreciation for the 400 yer tradition of tobacco. I am finally understanding what the fuss is really about.


One of my favorite pleasure is opening up the freezer and having my choice of 20+ different snus, all good in slightly different ways. Or picking a snus because of whatever mood I am in.


And now, with my entry into the world of snuff too, I am just overwhelmed almost with all the choices available to me

I was also thinking that it will probably take one year before I have tried all or most products once or twice and before I can really form a solid idea and understanding in this field. I was thinking if this is becoming a hobby of mine only to realize it is much more than a hobby.

One question.

Are you sure you want a full size sterk portion during a meeting? Are you giving a presentation or sitting and listening?

I only ask as a caution. Some strong snus creeps surprisingly fast and added to a morning cup of coffee and pressure in a boardroom, I've had more than one occasion where my body had way more nic than I wanted.

I usually as a rule now use a full size white portion in close quarters when I'm unsure of duration. I'd rather go back to my office wanting another portion than sitting in a meeting with cold nicotine sweats.

bakerbarber, Thanks for bringing this up as I had very little idea about what you said. I will be doing presentations and also will have to discuss various technical issues in detail when I am asked and therefore I need to remain cool, calm and sharp. Are you saying I might get the shakes or something like that? What if I take the portion couple of hours (2 hours)ahead ahead of the meetings? Some of the meetings could go for 4 hours and depending on the nature of the meeting (intruducing the product to the prospect for the first time), it could take one day (4 hours in the morning, then lunch and 4 hours after the lunch.

Thanks

Mini White portion. Limited nicotine, but longer flavor than a regular portion. Small portions will not be noticed at all. You might want to look into Wise portions, they have a couple of 6mg portions, but still in the mini size.

Maybe.

Everyone reacts differently to too much nicotine. You don't want to projectile vomit. You don't want want to be distracted by an urge for your next fix.

I suggest you try either a regular portion or a strong mini first. Popping one out and stashing it should be less of an issue than being O.D. in the middle of speaking. I've put in a fresh portion in front of people hundreds of times by the way. I just do it like it's completely fricking normal and give anyone who notices the stink eye. Most people just think I'm putting a piece of gum in. I don't get all dramatic about it. Just open mouth, insert snus onto tongue, put in place with tongue.

I'm a firm believer in control. Always easier to increase nicotine because you didn't get enough. Not so easy to ramp down when you got too much.

Good luck, don't be nervous about it though, I just felt I should bring it up.
