Dipper's Guide to Snus

[ProudMarineDad]

Snusdog,
I appreciate all of your tips. I have the Gotesborg Prima Fint los in now and it's not too bad. I like the Etta a lot better so far. I can't believe how moist both of them are. I will continue to experiment with the size of the pris and the brands. I have in 3 clicks now and am so glad I got the IceTool. It makes it a whole lot easier. I would have already quit trying los if I didn't have it.

OK, thanks. I was curious.

About the same size as minis. Or not quite as long as Camel Snus but same width.

Been a while since I did Skoal bandits but I think they are similar to Minis. I always did the regular Skoal pouches and they seem to be a tad bigger than the regulars. Now the Renegades were another level. That was a lower end dip but it packed a punch and gave your teeth a nice brown tint if you are into that sort of thing.

How big are the Skoal Bandits pouches compared with the standard snus portion?

Here is a link to another thread on the forum that discusses the nicotine levels in snus vs. dip. You might find it interesting.

Sounds like you get the same reaction from kids that I do. I am really not a bad guy. Oh well.

One of my friend`s father used to chew leaf. We all thought it was pretty disgusting. A few years later, I was that guy. Then from Redman to Skoal, and now Snuss.

I hope I don`t completely look like his dad though. Nice guy. Ugly as a mud fence.

Haha, I can imagine you chasing the little kids in the neigborhood with a big handful of chew and a big pinch in your cheeck!

Yes, I am going to be the mean old bastard on the corner. Who am I kidding, I already am him according to the neighbor's kid. All I said was stay the heck out of my yard but must have scared the crap out of him. My wife says I can give some really rough go to hades looks. Don't even realize it.

I doubt Probe tastes like Cope Whiskey. I've never had the latter, but I don't see anyone else having a flavor like Probe. Probe tastes closest to American leaf chew to me. Kind of sweet, and maybe a little raisiny. You could save that for another time. I recommended it due to the flavoring, but it is a love/hate snus. You could very well hate it.

Ah dude. I love me some leaf chew when I am doing yard work. Not to mention grossing out my son and wife when I get a wad out of the bag. Good times.

Decisions, decisions.

I might be able to make my first order this weekend but my problem is that each site has some that I want from the suggestions from all the helpful veterans from this thread.

Looks like Getsnus has most of the suggestions but SM is the only one that has Probe that lxskllr recommended. I liked Copenhagen's whisky flavored dip. I might wait about that one but I am intrigued by the description on their website.

Any more suggestions on flavors and website to order from for my first order would be appreciated.

This has really turned into a really informative and constructive introductory thread for people in america that already us smokeless tobacco!

You are so right. This is the most helpful forum for total noobs that I have ever seen.

That I will do. The reason I haven't ordered any yet is I have my normal supply built up and there are several video games coming out in the next two months so the funds are kind of low right now. Hopefully, I can place my order in September but it might be October unfortunately.
