Snus Storage Questions

[voodooman]

nice one snusdog. but i think we haven't yet converted pp to the ways of los.

[Snusdog]

When I open more than one can at a time....................I just send $10 to

premiumparrots@comcast.net

and PP says a prayer for me....................then my snus stays tupperware fresh




Ok ..............I did it.............now when exactly does my cut "roll in"

I have a few cans of los opened at the same time. I keep them in a small airtight tupperware

kind of related... Does keeping an opened can out of the fridge keep it fresh? I figure keeping an opened can in the fridge is drying them all out. Any thoughts on this?

No, I'd say it keeps it less fresh unless you live in an extremely humid environment. Btw, I second the Gotlandssnus tins. They're the best tins ever created, and you should get some while you still can. Buy a roll, even if you don't like anis flavor. 10 tins should last you a lifetime of use, and if you don't like the snus, you can pack it in a jar, and put it on the exchange. Someone would buy it, or trade you for it. The snus is great though, and is in my top 5 favorites.

Gotlandssnus cans are fantastic for keeping los fresh. A slice of apple helps as well.

Thanks for the quick reply all! I now know the error of my ways!

I've heard that adding a few drops of distilled water and giving the tin a shake, then letting it sit for awhile will work. I haven't tried it yet but I think I'll have to soon. Just got a big order and have 4 tins of lös open now.

My first can of Los was a can of general that was expired at the local tobacco shop. I couldn't even bake it into pris because it was too dry. It was still moist but not clumping together like my Roda does.

I added some water and it seemed to help but was kind of a pain in the ass.


I have the following cans open:
Roda Lacket
JuleSnus
General Extra Stark
Rothbix yellow (aka windex)

Welcome!

What snus are they? Cardboard tins?

I blow through a tin of los in like five days.....still using portions here and there. If I know I won't use it that quickly.....I won't open one.

Hey welcome to Snuson.com

Only open one can at the time.

And never make a huge stash in your refrigerator.

The snus goes bad after freezing it for more than 12 months.

Keeping it fresh

So like a newbie, I got excited and opened up 4 cans of los snus.

I have since had them in my fridge and enjoy a particular flavor every night. I have noticed however that they are drying up a bit in the fridge and was wondering what the best way to keep an open can of los snus is.

Typically I'd run through a can in a few days but since I have 4 open its going to be longer till I burn through them all.

Always freeze everything, but once I bust a tin out of cryo, it never sees the inside again.....

[Crow]

If I have a can (or a roll), I'll just stick it in the fridge. When I do bulk orders, the rest of it goes in the freezer (with the roll's seal intact).

[olzeke]

I agree with Gen. Billy. I order six rolls (usually GES portions or Onyx) at a time, generally, and leave them in the fridge the whole time until they're gone. Six rolls will last me about five months. Occasionally, when I get to the end of an order, I may have some cans that are past "The Date", but are still fresh. The only thing I freeze are cans of stuff that I use very, very sparingly. I have some GR #2 portions in the freezer that's dated early 2010.

Bottom line: freezing isn't bad, but fridging still keeps things freshest in my experience.

My question: how does Northerner, Buysnus, etc. store their inventory that sits around for awhile? Or are they able to keep things turning fast enough that they don't have to worry about it? Seems like Northerner has special deals on snus that is expired or is about to. I assume that's because it's been on the shelf for awhile. How do they store it?

[GENERAL BILLY]

I can taste a difference with snus that has been frozen. I stopped freezing. I will use snus 6 months past due from the fridge and, to me, it tastes better than it would from the freezer.
