    Do you roll your portions?

    When I pick up a portion, I roll it more into a tube shape like a pris. Is this a good thing to do? Does it mess with anything?

    You'll certainly get more flavour that way, so I guess that's not a bad thing to do either.

      I just throw them in, usually laying flat. My wife squeezes them and sort of rolls up regular portions, she says it runs less that way.

        Mine go in flat, seam facing outwards. They never stay in one place though. Once I've had it in for a few minutes I'm moving it all over and sucking on it and stuff. You get lots of flavor that way :^)

          I always roll regular portions lengthwise, other wise I find they move around too much. When rolled, they stick well into place and do their job of releasing flavour and nicotine without needing attention or control. I just click it into place right up where gum meets lip and off we go.

            I squeeze and shape the portions with my tongue, if needed. Sometimes they really are too flat and don't release enough flavor and nicotine.

            Cheers!

              i usually pop them in flat...after a while of use, i'll fluff them up like a pillow with my teeth and stuff it back into position. however i noticed when i use it flat, often the corner of the portion is overlapping my teeth and it shows when i talk or smile. so i try to fold over an edge to keep that from happening.

                I go both ways. Sometimes I just put them in flat and other times I roll them up lengthwise. Lately I've mostly been rolling them up because they tend to stay in place better that way and I like the feeling better under the lip.

                  I've been just popping them onto my tongue to absorb a little moisture & then I tuck them away into the upper lip. I'll have to try rolling the portions & see how it affects the tatse. Yes, if it adds to your enjoyment it's a good thing. I believe that there are no rules etched in stone about snus use. It's all about what works for you.

                  Happy snusing,

                  Paul

                    No, but I do roll my own joints from time to time. :lol:

                    I do, however, roll my loose, which is all I use.

                      I always roll the white portions. Out of the tin they're almost like little bricks in a pouch. Rolling them gets the flavor going. Regular portions I usually don't have to do this unless they have lost a bit of moisture. It also depends on how badly I need a nic hit. Rolling the portion does loosen it up a bit and speeds up the process of getting the entire portion moistened up in my mouth.

                      Sometimes I also fidget a lot when I get a little stressed, so rolling it for a bit helps me with that.

                      But hey, whatever floats your boat... or sinks it, depending on what your after.

                        I always put mine in flat. Thats just the way I prefer them. With the seam out and flat. The only thing I mess with when I take one out of the can is I mash down on the portion to spread out the snus inside evenly, because most of the time it's on one side of the portion and I like to equal it out.

                          I might roll the seam to the edge. I usually always roll to loosen up and even out the bag. I love the smells left on my fingers it reminds me of snuffing :lol: . I will sometimes take a bag out of my mouth and roll it a quarter turn to get a fresh surface (no smelling on that). ops:

                            I generally take it out of the tin and roll it out so that it is level within the pouch. It gives you a good feel for the consistency of the SNUS you are dealing with. I find that others "roll" better than others. I also usually shake it as you would a sugar packet holding by one side and fliping it back and forth to get it looser within the pouch. Just another ritual that goes into my love for SNUS lol. :lol:

                              This is exactly what I do. After it's been in for a while and starts to lose it's taste, I take it out, fold it over and put it in my bottom lip.
