New here and a first snus order

[rowdymon]

Welcome to the forum rowdymon. Glad to have you. I too came to snus by way of dipping and have never looked back. I think you will find this forum both very informative and a whole lot of fun. There are a lot of great folks here who are very knowledgeable.

Also, a while back I posted a thread especially for dippers. It's called "A dipper's Guide to Snus". Rather than repeat it all here, I'll just provide the link. You can check it out if you would like.

Again welcome to the forum and enjoy the journey

Oh yes, I have read that...

Before I found this forum all the information I had located was about smokers switching...you don't know how happy it made me to see your thread.

I hadn't registered yet, but I did want to give you props and thanks, and yes, I already have mad skillz with loose tobacco...*grin*

I second the gotland yellow, especially of the los variety. I haven't encountered a snus that I absolutely hate, (I also haven't tried level yet) there are just those that I prefer over others. Actually, I take that back, I absolutely hate oomph, us camel snus, and could never get into phantom classic, though the blue I enjoy. I typically frequent Ettan and lucky strike portions for the everyday routine with starks and others thrown in for variety. So my advise is even if you find one that you could see yourself using on a daily basis, keep experimenting.

Welcome.

Good first order.

i would say you should try out ettan and grov. 2 of my most highly regarded snus. i dont use sterks often but when i do its generally onyx or skruf stark. but for regular strength pure, rich, tobacco flavor ettan and grov are my go to snus.

Elixyr Power Energy - I like it now, but it took some time to get used to. The smell is a bit strong. But first thing in the morning, there's nothing better.

Thunder Frosted - GREAT. It's my full time snus. I get my fix QUICK with it. You will enjoy it, but I would try it after you try everything else, because you will notice how strong it is.

My suggestions

Gotland's Green
Gotland's Yellow
Offroad Cranberry
Ettan (White portions)
Triumph Mint

As long as you accept the taste for the unique experience it is, and focus on how it makes you feel...All will be good, I promise.

[mlkramer]

I shall bow to your wisdom and mentally prepare myself as I break the seal.

like when you're broke and have to drink cheap beer.

That I can relate to. Used to buy a case of the scotch buy generic beer in college and high school day. White can with the words "BEER" on it. 6 pack of the good stuff to start and a case of that to finish.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions...

On the beer, back in my college days I had a store that would sell us any case of Miller Beer for $5. At the end of my freshman year I found I could drink a whole case over the course of a day and not get a buzz. It kind of worried me so I switched to imports...couldn't afford nearly as much of those.

Now I'm a beer snob...and my drink fridge out back carries a variety of tasty hops based beverages...I think tonight will be an Arrogant Bastard...

Laugh...

My go to beer is Red Stripe, it's the only beer I can guarantee will be in my drink fridge at any point in time. It's just a good all around beer, and goes very well with most of my cigars.

Although, I don't see my tastes agreeing with snus and brew....but we shall see.
