very good

aaah, don't blame it on the devil (McD)... it's still your sense of taste that screws your snusenjoyment... snusing? go on with it, i command thee!
interstateguy hat geschrieben:Anyway, some times I take and rinse a new snus portion under water from the faucet for a couple seconds to get some of the salt out. Maybe I am a wimp, but oh well.
actually... you just unleash the snus-god's wrath... but he's got no internet at the moment anyways (he is currently moving, as far as I remember)
interstateguy hat geschrieben:I find I still miss smoking, I think I will go back to it after a while, but I an glad that the snus is helping me through this time when I cannot smoke (at least, when I am not cheating)
cheating? you mean by seriously decreasing your lifespan? *g* ye, you just want to get out of this silly earth-thingy earlier than snusers do... don't you do that no more
interstateguy hat geschrieben:One good thing about snus is that it lasts a long time. I went to the bar to sing Karaoke last night - first time with no smoking! I only used two portions over four hours. It did not hurt my singing either!
hm so... are we glad that we cannot check your singing skill, or should we be sad
interstateguy hat geschrieben:So I still have a lot of Skruf to go through, but I will consider your advise about different brands when I place another order.
definitely worth it... there will be some force (brand) out there that will cleanse you from the curse of the dark/smokey side. also variation is always a nice thing to have in life, i guess (and it also helps you to unsaltyness your sense of taste, if you try out more snus)
interstateguy hat geschrieben:I also appreciate the fact it is discrete, and I do not need to spit. I can use it at the office and nobody even knows!
indeed... and it is also less cancerogene than dip-bandits... definintely a feature, not a bug... and just in case you need to scare off a female, bite on the pouch and spit like a baseball pitcher
interstateguy hat geschrieben:I mentioned the salty taste to my wife. She reminded me of a story when back at college, a girlfriend had given her some kind of Scandanavian candy to try, and it was very salty and supposedly was fish flavored!
She says the snus is salty because Scandanavian folks must like things that are really really salty! I do not know if this is true, or if there is such a thing as a Scandanavian fish flavored candy - maybe it was supposed to be something else. But it is a funny story I think.
bummer... so i am not a krautlike but a mooselike creature now?... gotta get my dna checked, i suppose.
and errr my sillyness at the moment comes from excessive non-sleeping/snusing and sh**loads of coffee, sorry about that *grin*
you could check out the brand "Ettan" as well. in my opinion it is a very mildish snus without any flavouring but tobacco (well i like nonflavoured snus better in general so i cannot recommend any fruity ones... but tranbär seems to be my anti-brand so far
). besides that it is quite an old snusbrand... highly traditional
