American Snus

[RealmofOpeth]

^ Yup that's pretty close. Of course, it depends on the brand, but I would say about $4.00 is pretty average for my orders.

are we talking about the list price of cans themselves or after figuring in shipping cost?

[Zero]

I imagine that's including all costs, including shipping.

[Coffey]

Yup, that's everything included. Of course, if you buy a roll of Kronan, you are looking at something closer to $3 per can. But I would say about $4 is pretty fair for most brands.

Imagine that! Folks in the USA get the lowest price.
The cheapest snus I can buy is €3 per can (1 log - 10 cans of Offroad from snusshoppen.com)
And yes; "all-in" means with all costs added up.

[RealmofOpeth]

yeah. I get 4.37 for 18 cans totaling 78.70 after shipping.

of course the can price varied a bit. beats the piss out of dip.

And if the value of the dollar continues to freefall... it'll just be cheaper and cheaper for us! I say in your face euro! :?

(that was aaaalllll sarcasm, before someone takes that wrong)

I would be curious to see how real snus could do here in KC. Downtowners are totally pissed about all of the Camel Porno... i mean... propaganda. And seeing as there are 3 Kansas City natives on the board (out of a relatively small international member base), it could do well.

[RonShiflet]

I'm not an economist but doesn't the falling value of the dollar mean that Americans will have to pay more? Not that the heavenly snus isn't worth every penny!

hence the "aaaaallll sarcasm" immediately following, I think :wink:

[RonShiflet]

My apologies. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, just didn't notice the sarcasm comment. Brain fart on my part. :lol:

[Zero]

I didn't take it as any more than situationally comedic oversight, no worries mate :lol:

[alex]

haha yeah sorry. I had just gotten done listening to some public radio and was feeling a bit silly when i posted that

Camel Snus in the Southeastern US...review....and comparison

Hello all, new member here and I was just re-introduced to snus after a few years, worked and lived overseas for a little while and discovered them in sweden while on travel. I definately prefer the swedish snus, the camel snus have an interesting taste, but nearly no nicotine in them...well nothing compared to a snus portion like diplomat or goteborgs. I liked the camel spice flavor as it was a little sweet and had a nice spicy taste like cloves and cinnamon. Otherwise they are expensive and they don;t do much but make you want to smoke which in my opinion defeats the purpose. They were giving them away at the gas stations in NC for a little while and a nice clerk gave me about 5 tins on each trip, so that was a nice way to try it. I have since ordered about 20 tins from buysnus and am extra satisfied with what I have tried. So far I really like the gotenburgs....i still have about 8 different brands to try. Anything with a spice like flavor? Thanks -scrh1

Welcome to the forum!

... the camel snus have an interesting taste, but nearly no nicotine in them...

Someone said in another thread, that, when you open a portion bag, Camel-snus looks like dry cigarette-tobacco. No wonder, that this doesn't work, nicotine-wise. I wonder, why they not just spend a few cents to make a good, usable oral tobacco product, instead of selling this crap.

So far I really like the gotenburgs....i still have about 8 different brands to try. Anything with a spice like flavor?

Göteborgs Rapé is maybe the spiciest snus available. It depends on your personal taste, if you find other favorites. My recommendations are Gotlandssnus Yellow, which is a unique mixture of pure tobacco, traditional citrus-flavor and a hint of spices and Knox, which has a very interesting, peppery flavor. There are many other excellent brands. Just try as many as possible!

Cheers!

I found the Camel Snus to be very, very artificial.

The pouches were very small. It didn't have the same 'stickyness' of real swedish stuff, i.e. it was slightly drier, or didn't contain the same water-retaining additives.

As for the taste, and general mouth-feel. I would say they've got a few manufacturing process issues since the pH doesn't seem quite right and you don't get that same flavor-release sensation as with SM snus. It seems that they have good intentions... but just don't quite have a 'know-how' yet.

Another concern is that as a tobacco product, it is not regulated by the FDA and thus doesn't require a list of ingredients. In addition, the nicotine content is not required in many states (well... not in NC at least).

Peace.

Been a while, yes I know, but I just tried some Mocca pomegranate that I had bought for my girlfriend to try out (she didn't really care for it; it just made her want to smoke ...), and it tastes Very similar to the Camel snus original. Same size and dryness, very close in taste; minus the artificial sweetener flavor.
