desperate strokes for desperate folks...

Thanks for suggestions, peeps!

I think I may just go with smoking for a day or two, and ordering a few rolls to make sure I'm not out of snus for a while.

And yeah, to be smarter next time I'm running out of snus.

What bothers me a bit, though... When I'm running out of snus like this, and I have no way of getting it, and it makes me nervous... I feel like I didn't do that much with replacing cigarettes with snus. Yeah, it's healthier, cheaper and blah blah, but I just traded one source of nicotine for another, and still, when I'm out of that source, I start to panic. I'm still a nicotine addict. i still NEED my fix. Makes me think.

Liandri - I ordered on time, but the post office ****ed up. Your advice sucks, cause I can't sit for 5 days and ponder about snus and my snus ordering timeline. I have an important job and stuff to do. I'll surely be extra cautious next time and order some extreme quantities just to be sure, but right now I'm out of snus, it's hardly my fault, and I'm trying to solve this situation the best that I can.

kum,

I know it doesn't help you out right now but the solution for people like you who don't have easy access to snus is to learn to make your own. It's not a high priority for me right now but it is a project I'm working on.

The last batch I made was from some MacBaren's pipe tobacco. It turned out too sweet (probably because it already had some glycerine in it) but it definately is usable in situations like yours.

South Carolina Official Snus Rationing Method:

Take a 6oz shot of moonshine with rock candy dissolved in it.

When you wake up any cold you may have had will be gone and your snus will have arrived.

:lol:

Of course my advise sucks! I wasn't giving you any, I was just blabbing my mouth at your misfortune! But you struck back, I respect that. Got defensive, learn from your mistake. Good on you. Has the post office been ****ed up all this time? Did you know this info beforehand when making the order? You're up shits creek without a paddle and forgot how to swim. How can and what can other people do to comfort you in any way? If You were in absolute dire straits Hell I'd send ya some. But your stuff would come in before mine. So that doesn't work. What if you just got a can of- Oh, didn't explain that in the first post.... What about a pack of -Oh, Don't want to smoke? So what do you want to do? You want your tobacco how you want it when you want it? Life isn't so pretty, if it was I'll get my colored pencils out and attempt to draw a more beautiful picture for ya, but I don't know.

tl;dr Out of snus, only want snus. takes all but a few moments out of your important life to think "When is the appropriate time to order when I have X amount of cans left?"

Yeah I'm an asshole, never said I wasn't. Think of it as tough love. Next time don't put yourself in the position of thinking about scavenging used portions to feed your tobacco habit please. Look back on that thought, just think about it please.

get some scotch snuff, if you dip it becomes moist enough to take out and mold just like a prilla of snus, after all snus is mostly fine grind snuff and water anyway.

carahart CC is nice n sweet
rooster scotch is great
tube rose is also nice n sweet.

He said he can't get snuff like that in Croatia.

But, you can take scotch snuff in a small bowl and add a little water till it has a clay like consistency and mold a prilla. It's not very flavorful, but you can upper lip it, and it stays together.

I still smoke occasionally when I'm out drinking. The next day I never have a craving for a cig, and I just go right back to snusing.

Hey! I thought of something! I have some loose snus in the freezer. I didn't really liked loose so I just tossed it in there somewhere... Any suggestions how to make DIY portions out of loose snus? Are there any threads about it?

Tea bags, perhaps... But how to put it together so it doesn't fall apart? I can't use glue...

HA! That's the way to go! I'll let you know how it turned out later.

My DIY snus portions work like a charm! Fortunately the idea occurred to me before I even went into using those disgusting used portions... I'm back in the game, yee haw!

Thanks for all the inputs, guys!

I wonder if these ever got far in the game, +10 years ago, but I figured someone might have seen them around somewhere if they exist.
