Regular or Stark

Regular only

[Experimental Monkey]

Regular. Starks are overkill once you're off the smokes a couple of weeks. In fact I'm getting to where I can't stand to have a stark in my mouth.

[Tin Man]

Depends. If it's portion, I usually go regular. Los I'll go stark and make a smaller pris.

I wish this was the case with me. I need my starks! In fact, if I started out with starks, I would have quit cigarettes sooner. I was a heavy menthol smoker for over 30 years. I need the extra nic. I've tried to cut back to just regular portions but can't do it. I need at least one or two starks a day.

I've been using regular mostly, but still have the urge to smoke a few times every day. I have some stronger stuff coming in my latest orders, hoping to lose the smokes and get to a point where regular strength is enough eventually, but for now I'll do whatever it takes to not want to smoke anymore.

When I quit smoking the first time I tried quitting using Camel snus... and it just didn't pack the punch I needed. I ordered some swedish snus, and the regular portions took some getting used to. After awhile I eventually started using alot of starks, but regular portions still did it for me. I went through a string of events that left me unable to afford buying snus on a regular basis (but go figure, I was rarely without smokes or a can of Cope) and I had to get nicotine elsewhere. I smoked more than I did when I quit the first time, and begin dipping a lot too; so naturally my nicotine tolerance was through the roof when I started snusing again. Regular portions didn't cut it, I couldn't get starks at the cigar shop, so I was putting in two General Original portions to get my fix... my first snus order in a long time was mostly starks. It took me a month or so to get my tolerance back to a point where a regular would atleast curb my nicotine cravings. I do use regular portions at work, but I can't help stuffing my lip with a full prismaster of Oden's ES when I am at home or a bar. I love my starks, I love the bold flavors and the nicotine buzz.

An occasional sterk, 8mg portions are enough to satisfy generally.

I pretty much use starks only for portions, and for los it's probably 60% stark. I am not a chain snuser, nor do I typically keep snus in for more than 30 minutes, so when I reach for one I'm usually looking for a solid fix and bold flavors. From reading posts here it's safe to say that my tolerance is high, and I wish that weren't the case, but Odens ES and now Skrusf ES are too special for me to say goodbye anytime soon.

This sums it up for me.

[Veganpunk]

I use both, depends on the time of day, current situation, or whatever I feel like at the moment.

I've stopped using starks. But I used to alternate a stark with a regular. I used to say Thunder OP was my fave snus, and I still like it's strong taste, and effect, but I just don't feel a need or want for starks anymore. Of course things might change.

[Frosted]

...of course, I love portion starks.
I remember a thread way back that had you writing down what and when you snussed and I was surprised just how little I actually snussed and these days I'm snussing less. I'm doing a max of 6 a day and 4 on others. I don't keep them in for hours, might just have it in for half an hour. Admittedly these days I snuff as well which is the reason I can target the 4 a day.
It has to be said that it's a fact (for me anyhow) starks are more enjoyable by a long shot. When you're working up to a snus and you finally get it, especially whilst getting to relax, a stark is just the best.

I seem to need more than regular at times. Especially first thing in the morning and in the evening if I'm drinking alcohol. During the day the regulars are fine. A few days ago I started the day off with a regular and it did not work at all. I'm a total chain snuser as well. I do have a very fast metabolism so maybe that's why I need more, not sure.

Main stuff I've been using is Thunder WG and Long+. So I guess sterks.
