Just curious. I'm about to put in my second order for some of the other brands I'd like to try, but when it comes around to my next order after that, I want to make the bulk of it my favorites of the previous two. Only thing is, I already have about six cans open as it is, and I don't want any of it to go bad before I can finish them...
Surprisingly, I actually have the same amount of tins open now as I did back in January. :lol:
The rate at which I go through those tins now.....well, that's a much different story. :shock:
I'm pretty new to the Snus thing, but by practicing a little self control (after 3 orders from Buysnus in 3 weeks), I've managed to open only 12 or so tins. When I get more accustomed to this "hobby" I look forward to cutting that number down a little.
LOL, I just read my reply from back in January, then I was really good and only kept two open. Now, my how things have changed, Right now, I have 14 cans open. I have so many in the refrigerator, I am always knocking one or two out as I get something else out. I really am trying to cut it down, but then will suddenly feel the need to open something new, so they never seem to really go away.
I am sampling so I had up to 5 open - now down to 3.
When I start running low on a can I mix and combine.
Tobacco Flavor with Mint and other Tobacco flavors.
Citrus with Citrus.
Coffee with Coffee.
If a brand is too tart (hardcore tobacco taste or heavy citrus) when I first start I add a pinch of sugar substitute to the can until I get used to the flavor alone.
I have about 6 cans of different snus in my fridge. I like to shift them around a bit. Still trying to find ones I like. Don't worry about them going bad. As long as you keep them cool, they last for months.
One can of loose, and one can of portions. I don't refrigerate open cans. The loose lasts about 9 days and the portions about 4 days. Since I use portions more than los, because of my work environment, they never drys out. I it is interesting to see how some los progress to dry out over time. Some times its a good thing. I like probe, but when it is fresh it tends to flatten out fast and get little slimmy. After about 6 days it stays together much better, but with a little loss of flavor. Now, Skruf Stark dies fast and need refrigeration. Gotlandssnus Gulsnus (Yellow) Loose seems to stay consistant the whole time. So i think there is some thing to be said about opening one can of los at a time and analyzing how it holds up start to finish unrefrigerated.
Also with constant use you may find a change of opinion by the time you get to the end. I liked Gotlandssnus Gulsnus (Yellow) Loose a lot at frist, but found it started reminding me of cow manure by the end of the can.
Holy beans. I just like having alot of options. I tire of anything if I use it too much, even Ettan. Roda Lacket I really like. You can bake this stuff with both arms tied behind your back. When I use RL I use it all day, then ignore it for 2 or 3.
I got a can of Onyx portions that I don't really care for, some Tranbar for occasions when I'm especially fruity.
I do notice loose gets crumbly after being open awhile, but it's no biggy to me. The flavor gets a little subtler too. One could say weaker but I'm a glass is half full guy and choose to say subtler...
I tend to be long winded as I want to explain everything so I'll give both the reader's digest version of my question and the word vomit version for those...
