    I have 4 open at any one time. right now it's thunder wintergreen start portion, thunder frosted stark los, skruf stark original portion and a thunder original stark los.

    I like stark cuz it keeps me away from cigs. But yeah I get tired of the same one every time, that's why I alternate depending on my mood. a big pris of los when I'm on the sales floor no one ever sees it and it keeps me mellow!

      Why is that?.
      You are comparing months of snus use to years of dip usage.

      I think because you are still new to snus. My tastes have narrowed considerably over the year that I've used snus. I look to Sweden as an example where people have only 1 or 2 snus that they use day in and day out.

        I hadn't thought of that so hopefully you are right because I am running out of choices. I used to play Tiger Woods on the Xbox 360 with a guy from Sweden who used Gote Rape and Grov.

        Thanks for getting my thread back on track. Funny thing is that I am the one who caused it. Takes a moron to thread jack his own thread.

          yeah i think once ive tried everything im interested in, ill gradually settle into a few different sneese. as it stands im moving further into just using a few. though i dont think i could ever be a one snus guy. at the least id probably use like 3 or 4.

            I did finally purchase a roll of Tres Ankare minis, and use those as I work my way through the ten single cans of los I purchased. Saturday will be two weeks working on the one can of los and I haven't even made it through one tin of the Tres Ankare minis as of yet.

            The minis seem ridiculously strong, as far as nicotine hit, as compared to the los.

              I think it's because cigarettes have so many additives - and I believe that many of them are aimed at making you stick with that particular brand. Many of them are probably addictive in their own right. So you tend to find a brand of smokes you like, then stick with them for years on end.

              With snus though, there aren't all the unknown additives and the only constant is the nicotine, so its probably much easier psychologically to try many different variants - and there are so many different ones to try! It's more like a food than an addiction.

                I rotate between a stark, and other flavors.

                The getting bored with a flavor might be since you really taste snus, where as dip you don't swallow it, therefore don't completely taste it.

                  I rotate now too. I had a mission to try as many as I could a few years ago and settled on Grov White and used it exclusively for a long time. Now I'm into nasal snuff too and it's renewed my interest in different snus. I currently rotate about twelve brands, both normal and sterk but all portions.

                    my current rotation is consisting of 01 and camel every day, (will probably be ld or gustavus when my camel runs out.) some granit white im not too fond of and will probably just be whatever white i have open, the occasional montecristo and probe, and whatever los is on tap. still trying lots of snus, but have brought my open cans down to about 6.

                      I'm back to a boatload of snus again. I've got over two dozen going now half sterks and half regulars but all portions. I usually keep three or four in the fridge and

                      I occasionally swap them out with others that are in the freezer. Due to high allergy season my snuffing has slowed to a trickle so that's the reason for the snus increase.

                      For a good bit I've survived on Grov alone and I still could but I'd have to take Claq Qui along for the ride too. I was always loyal to one brand with smokes dips and chews.

                        Now that I have several cans in the freezer I find my self going to the freezer and having a hard time deciding what to get next. Most all of it is mint, so when I don't want mint I get some General White portion out.

                        Never been a smoker.

                          i can't help myself, i am a bit obsessive/complusive about finishing what i open before moving on to the next can..

                          so i only have one flavor open at a time, fortunately, discreet packs have 10 in them so that lets me cycle thru flavors quicker...

                            I am a devoutly rotate my snus, sure I have favorites that don't get as much rotation as the others.

                            I'm fairly certain I've found happiness with Ettan, pure smoky tobacco flavor that I can toss some extra flavor into if I want a flavored snus.
