I want in on some Root Beer!!! I also think Cherry would be a good idea. There's not any real good cheery snus out there.
Whatever you do, don't try a can of the Klondike Cherry Blast snus...YUCK! Tastes like cherry cough syrup *gag*. Rather have a raspberry than a cherry snus myself though :wink:
Please think about making a clove flavor.
Discreet seems like the perfect company to be the first to introduce this one.
I think smokers or ex-smokers would really relate to this flavor.
I just got my first taste of Discreet snus from getsnus, which I ordered about three days after I filled out the form on Tom's website. I can't say I'm getting much tobacco flavor but the strawberry flavor is very pleasant. I'm not getting any artificial sweetener aftertaste as some have said. I do think maybe the peach could be more to my taste if it is a little more subtle then the strawberry. I am interested in trying all the other non-mint flavors an since Tom is developing so many new flavors perhaps a flavor sampler containing all of the discreet and pro varieties should be made for sale.
Did my first bit of Discreet pushing last night at the gig. Noticed both of our friend/roadies smoke. One took a peppermint, but wasn't too excited. The other turned it down, but his wife (I think) took me up on a strawberry. Five minutes later I was watching her out of the corner of my eye and wondering if she'd spat it out yet. But no, she asked me where I got it. So I gave her the rest of the pack and told her about the web site, etc.
I would never offer snus to someone who wasn't obviously a well-established smoker (or dipper), but if it helps even one person, isn't it worth it?
The reason it's Discreet is because, while I like it, it's probably not something I'm going to do a whole lot of myself. But I can put the samples I got to good use, and spread the word as well. Heck, I might even buy more just so I can pass it out to da laydeez. Edit, adding: and it might be something accessible for snubies, and those who have tried US Camel.
And, I might change my tune about my own use once I sample grape, or pear, or root beer. . . .
Just got my sample pack from Discreet, after having to suffer through a half a tin of Camel Snus, this is heaven.
I tried Generals Wintergreen and really liked it, but due to my job going to India money's gotten a little tight. So I thought if the Discreet can come close to the Generals I'll switch.
Well I like the discreet better than the General's and the pouch in the shirt pocket is a lot better than the can. So as soon as the next check comes in I'll be getting a 25 box of the Emerald Ice and Cool Mint.

Now there's talk of Root Beer, OH YEAH!!!!!!!
Just be careful and don't pull the pouch out in a high falluting department store while asking one of snobby sales ladies where something is located. I did that last week thinking I was pulling a sales paper out to ask where something one was my wife and I were buying for my mom's birthday. Is it just me or does the pouch not look like a condom pack? The look of horror on that woman's face was priceless.
I just got my samples today and have to agree with the majority here, the rootbeer is AWESOME, definitely a new favorite. The grape was also really good. However, if you are seeking a fake, candy grape flavor, you won't find it here...there's just too much tobacco flavor going on, which is a plus to me. The flavor that surprised me the most was the Juicy Orange. I wasn't expecting much but WOW, incredible tobacco and orange flavor! Add some vanilla to that and you would have a delicious creamsicle! I think Discreet has the right formula as far as flavor and tobacco which results in a sweet but not overly sweet snus. <--IMO, Camel does NOT have this formula down and by masking the natural flavor of tobacco, they have such a sweet snus that it makes me nauseous now! I guess my tastes have truly evolved because I started with Camel! Anyway, a huge thanks to Tom for the samples and I am now waiting for them to be for sale! Discreet really makes going to work a much easier task!
Hey ProudMarineDad, perhaps the sales lady was shocked! If that pouch housed a condom, it would be one HUGE condom...you know what they say about big condoms...... :lol:
I started writing reviews/critiques when I started snusing, modifying the ratings and flavor critiques over time, accounting for my palate changes and...
I hate peach and tobacco....and don't get me started on apricot. They always end up musty, or perfumy or just rank. Chewing tobacco, snuff, whatever....
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...
