    Just saying hi

    Hi everyone.

    Been reading quite a bit on the snus forums lately, but have never posted. I was inspired to finally come out of the snus closet (aka butter compartment in the fridge) by the saga and tragedy of Boxpass 1.0. I'm glad to see that most everyone got to experience Box before his untimely demise. I was also moved by the rally of support for the originator of Boxpass 1.0 (I forget the name) after his loss. I'm eagerly awaiting the time when I have collected enough snus types to participate in a future Boxpass.

    I found this place through an e-cigarette-forum subforum. I had no idea that snus was so much healthier than cigarettes, and I was always curious about oral tobacco. Now that I've tried it, I'm really glad I've found it. Now I have a portion when I want to chill and rock an e-cig when I need some hand-mouth action.

    My first snus was a free trial mix from getsnus. I had no idea if I would even like snussing, but I popped in a general dry mini mint and it was love at first snus. It burned (a lot) but felt good after about a minute. Then I got a nice mellow. I tried a general white regular portion a while later and that kicked my ass. I left it in for about an hour I think, which was way to much nic for me. I got nauseous and hot and a little shaky (which happened to me once before when I was sampling new e-juice flavors) which was NOT fun. Since then, I've gotten better at knowing when to cut myself off and I'm cool with regular portions now.

    I think I've only been snussing for about a week/week and a half, but it feels like way longer after reading this forum so much. I got a summer sampler box from getsnus as my first real order and I have a northerner starters pack on the way. I'm really excited for the northerner order because I guess I'm not that into fruity/minty snus. It's not bad, but I like it salty and earthy (that's what she said). I also got a bunch of samples from Discreet that I'm using at work since the only other minis I have are Catch Eucylyptus and I'm rationing those out because I like them. The Discreet are good but are getting a little sickly sweet now.

    So those are my adventures. Thanks for sharing such informative articles. Snus on!

          Welcome to Snuson Mullolley.

          And don't worry about DD and Box Pass one. I already have 13 different snus, including some home brewed stuff, plus more coming, plus what I will add. So DD WILL be taken care of!!

          And I would encourage you to participate in any box pass NOW. Honestly, you are far more likely to benefit as there is still so much snus for you to try.

            The problem is, the only thing I can part with right now is General Wintergreen. Not too exciting, I think. Maybe better than Elixr, though :wink:

              Shame on you!!! Elyxr is the nectar of Gods!!! Or at least, it helps me deal with my sleep (lack thereof) issues.

              Still, you could do the box pas and just put in the wintergreen. you never know, maybe someone else has never tried it but would want to.

              Seriously, Box passes are open to EVERYONE. Let the vets worry about putting in something impressive, we want folks like you to just get a chance to try things they haven't been able to yet

                  Haven't tried it, not gonna. When I got to this forum, after five seconds I knew better than to do that.

                    The good thing about US Camel, is it has led many people to learn about real snus. It was my 1st snus. If they could remove that extreme sweet flavor, and make a regular size portion, they might have something not bad. I don't know if you have Speedway or Super America in NY, but I get Tourney snus there. It's not as good as imported Swedish snus, but it is made in Sweden, and a real snus, just super dry and smaller than regular large size.

                      Supposedly there's General on sale at a cigar shop around the corner from where I work. I haven't checked for price or freshness, but it's nice to know it's there if I need it.

                      I found out about snus from US camel ads, too. I almost got a tin for free when I smoked, but never asked about it. It sparked my interest, though and months later, here I am.

                        Welcome Mullolley Glad to have you on board. Give Taboca minis and Thurnder Frosted minis a try. Both are very good and have the same nic amount as a regular portion.

                        Enjoy the adventure

                          Welcome aboard.

                          Like Sage said the pass is open to everyone. That's part of why it's so fun and exciting.

                          I tried to make 2.0 really cool.

                          Whoever does 3.0 is gonna have to one up a big bad dog.

                            Welcome to snuson. I've been snusing for close to two months now, but I still consider myself a newbie. You will have fun and meet a lot of good people on this site.



                            snus on!
