Beautiful. By far the best pris baking video I've ever seen. When not using my tool I'm doing it almost the same way, though more between the fingers and less in the palm. But the end result plus amount is more or less identical.
The music?
... oh yeah, by the way. You pronounce 'snus' as perfect as if you grew up in Småland.

The music was : Der Zyklus - Mathematische Modelle. I figured something that might go in a Volvo advert would be fitting :lol: As for my pronunciation of snus, I found the stuff for the first time in Göteborg, so I guess I only ever heard it said that way... that's the monkey in me, I guess, haha.
How firm is the pris? Judging from the few videos I've seen, the pris is to be quite firm - or better to say, as firm as possible.

Zero, yeah, you're monkey alright :wink: I was just watching it again ... interesting how you use the actual flexibility and different postures of the palm itself to shape it up. I gotta experiment with that method ... my iTool also need a break after a couple of hectic N & J-days 8) (I wonder how long the o-ring is gonna last).
Now - who will be man enough to post a video concerning the ol' sailor method of snusing; the one where you simply scoop it right from the tin with your weatherbeaten tongue? Anyone?

Thank you again Zero for posting this. I've made a barrel/cylinder of General and am enjoying it right now. Putting it in my lip I did drag it a bit and there is snus between my cuspid and bicuspid which doesn't look very pretty but I have no client meetings today. I wonder about extraction and cleanup. General loose is far superior to General portion in flavour- less salty, it seems. I'm getting a nice lift, the pris is about twice the size of a portion.
F me I love snus. :lol:

**awesome pris baking video**
Though... what is the usual shape that one goes for? I've, for the most part, mostly been an orb-maker, rolling my pris' as small balls...I like the smaller area taken up in my mouth, but it is a bit more difficult to get them good and firm.
Currently enjoying: General Original Loose

The General loose arrived today. I'm no good at baking my first pris at all. The snus is very loose and as I try to firm it up, I break it up further. More practice is needed!
From the video combined with my little experience, it seems that you start lightly and go firmer and firmer, yet gently.
No Copenhagen today, I was hoping that the IceTool would come in the post but no luck. I'll keep practicing on my technique. It's not as easy as the video looks!ops:

Just remember, practice makes perfect. That, and you're right; start kinda light yet firm, get a bit firmer, and then when you're putting the finishing touches, do things a bit lightly so ya don't crush the form.
'Course what do I know..I'm still kind of a newbie. :lol:

Better success with my fourth pris! Still a little too fat; I need to use smaller amounts. I'm used to pinching a certain amount from the can (all the years of Copenhagen snuff use).
I've learned after four tries that I prefer the prilla to be on the left upper side - not in the front nor on the right. This fourth pris is muddy because I moved it with my tongue. I see where you call this "mud" and it is akin to a pinch of Bruton Scotch snuff though not nearly as potent! :shock:
With the pris being muddy, it is hard not to expectorate. After a few minutes, though, the consistency solidifies a bit.
On my first three tries, I did not have a problem much with moisture and had no ill effects with the juice.
To me, this is where the citrus taste of the General loose comes into play, the juice being a bit lemony as swallowed. I'm glad that I started with General loose because it's a pleasant flavor, spicy and satisfies.

I'm posting for the new "snus" fans
Today, I started baking without much trouble. The key is to be firm without smashing the pris. The finishing is a bit rough but this will come with more time.
I've found that keeping the prilla in one spot is not good for me yet; with Copenhagen I'd occasionally run into a little irritation. Making a smaller pris has helped and I'm finally getting the hang of a smaller pinch.
The baking video that you did, Zero, has been a big help. Nothing helps as much as getting your fingers dirty, however.... :wink:
