dry snus

[GodheadsLament]

hey, i've been snusing for about half a year, i just discovered this site though.

my friend gave me a special christmas flavored snus recently and i was wondering if there was any way to revitalize it to make it less dry and coarse.

halp pleeze?

Take the can and dip your fingers into some bottled water. Lrt a few drops fall off your finger into the can (literally just a few drops, 2-3. maybe 4 if it's a full can). Put the lid back on and pop it in the fridge for several hours to let the moisture spread throughout the snus.

Thanks for the tip Xobeloot, it's works as advertised - a really handy trick to have up my sleeve. A side note, I did 6+ drops (because I was drunk) of tap water but I let it sit in the refridgerator for more than a day, but it still worked marvelously. I just wish I had someone local who could show me how they handbake, learning from videos and words is really hard . I was wondering why it seemed to get harder, when lo and behold it was the snus drying up. I can handbake well enough now to get snus in my lip for an hour or two, but it takes a long time for me to get it baked, my hands start cramping up! Oh well, I'll get good at it soon, it's probably because I only use los maybe once or twice a day, so the learning phase is taking a long time.

Years ago when I dipped Skoal, I would put a piece of apple in the can to remoisten it. That worked pretty well, but definitely imparted a flavor to the tobacco.

nice idea, so the tobacco had a little apple flavour to it?

I've used apple bits in rolling tobacco too. Orange, lemon or grapefruit rinds work well also.

just want to say that this might molder. and it could be there without being really visibly. so take care if you want to get your snus more wet or tastefull with organic materials!

When I used to roll my own cigs I would soak a small piece of ceramic in water overnight and place in the pouch after drying it off with a paper towel. Actually it was a chip off an old pizza stone and it worked great.
