I feel like a little kid on Christmas day

[sagedil]

I'm always surprised those rare moments I find I have gone a long time without a portion.

It actually feels weird to NOT have a portion in, which is a complete 180 from when you first start, and it feels strange to have a teabag full of tobacco shoved in your upper lip. :lol:

You are telling me, Jason. I started using 2 tins of snus the first month and at the rate it is been going this month, I am going to use 4 tins minimum in the second 30 days. I have been working from home the last couple of months so I have been enjoying loose snus. I am becoming pretty good at baking nice solid cylindrical prises about 5mm by 12mm. It is all new experience but I am beginning to enjoy the pressure of the pris under my upper lip. I think so far I enjoy loose much more than portions.

Ever since i started this stuff a few months ago, i always have 3-4 cans open at a time. It's just too hard to have that can in the freezer that you really want to try, and looking at the other cans you have open that are 3/4 full still, lol!

When i get one i really want to try, i just open it up and take one out. I leave the can in the freezer and just grab portions out of it once in a while. let it sit for like a minute so it doesn't freeze your lip and then you're good to go.

One trick I've heard on the forums for those dryer, white portions is to flop it around on your tongue for a little bit first. Let it get a little wet before popping it up in your lip. Supposed to help get it 'flowing' a little faster. I've never bothered with that, mind you, just what I read.

my 21 cans arrived today

tried the Claq qui for the first time and love it, like a stronget Goteburgs Rape, also got 3 cans of Ettan loose, some new Skruf white.

It's great getting a new order, want to dive into all the ones you have never tasted yet.

my free can was 1847, nice tin but I have seen some bad reviews on here.

[sagedil]

hoodlight, it IS a very nice tin. But many of us find the taste off putting, just a kind of not good after taste?

But some folks like it, and tastes vary.

I am so happy you are enjoying the snus experience. And it only gets better with time!!

I tried my free can of 1847, tasted like licking a 30 year old car battery, nice tin but not for me. I must have done over a 100 cans by now, this is the first one that I won't finish.

And just the idea of Snus is awesome!
I used to dip either Skoal, Kodiak, or Grizzly... and would get scared if a Sergeant would come around, haha.
Now I can sit there with a portion in, smiling, knowing they have no idea

Good to see another military man on here. On duty, there might be about a 15 minute window where I do NOT have snus in. It feels weird when I don't have any in for more than that. At home, I might go for an hour without it, but that's the max :lol:

Actually, negative.

Police, not military :P
I have a bunch of friends in the military if that counts though, haha.


But I forgot my portions today for work
So looks like I get to use loose and try and hide it, haha.
