I had my first snus today, and was pleasantly surprised at the effect. Funnily enough I think I prefer the minty/fruity snuses (I smoked RYO cigarettes with a menthol filter before) (is this a bit girlie? :P). I like Jakobsson's Ice Fruit in particular. I have one issue, which I guess is a common one - namely, the salt in the portions. How long does it take for the taste buds to acclimatize to the salt in the snus? A day? A couple of days? And what is the purpose of the salt?

Well, hardcore snusers really enjoy the salt. It´s in most of the older variants.
You will get used to it, if you keep on snusing "the real" stuff :wink:
Maybe you should try Göteborgs Rapé? You might like it... -
It took me about 2 weeks I guess.
Camel snus was my first, and after looking online, I got the Northerners 24 tin try out box. It came with lots of delicious flavors, so I couldn't wait to get it... Camel snus is very sweet, huge fake flavor, and no salt. That's what I was expecting from the Swedish snus... Not even close :^D...
I was a bit disappointed at first tbh, but I grew to appreciate the subtler flavors of the Swedish product, and it didn't taste too salty after awhile. Now, they don't make a snus that has too much salt for me, and the brands that don't have as much salt, I find a bit lacking :^)Comment

Typical time it seems is anywhere from a week to a month, every person slightly different. But in time, you will no longer notice it in any negative type way. May even come to miss it a bit. :wink:Comment

Ditto, sagedil.
After a while, you will come to enjoy any and all things salty. I for one like a salty snus but not overly salty like Gustavus, which tastes like the bottom of a microwave popcorn bag.Comment

Well, if you don't have salt you will die. True, Americans consume way too much sodium. We are eating the wrong types of salt. Most of the salt consumed... -

I began using snus in October of 2012 and gave up cigarettes in a month. I thought that my taste memory might be lacking as I prepared to order Swedish...
