Snus

My favorite snu is nicotine gum

I like General brand snus. It's from Sweden and comes as 'white' which I find strong enough, and pretty tasty, or 'titanium' which has nearly double the nicotine.
I get it at a b&m called the tobacco outlet. Quick online searches in the past have yielded nothing.
Edit: apparently it comes in many flavors and strengths but the 2 above are what I've tried. They are unflavored, with a nice, strong tobacco taste.

I prefer nasal snuff over snus but both can be obtained thru Mr. Snuff online.
They have frequent deals and a customer loyalty program that's pretty good.

Copenhagen or nothing!

I heard that in Sweden, the don't label their snus, any one has seen or know about this, they said that they steam their tobacco leaves, instead of fire curing it, which makes the cancer risk really low.

I came to say this. Great service and prices.

This is my choice as well. I've never seen the titanium one though

I was able to quit a 25 year cigarette habit with the help of snus. There are many flavours and strengths available so it may take awhile to find one that is right for you. It is true that the genuine Swedish snus is far superior to the US made stuff. The US snus manufacturers also happen to be major cigarette manufacturers and one has to wonder if they are making crap snus to keep people away from it and on their cigs.
I used a variety of snus but the one I used most was Thunder Frosted. It is quite strong and has a spearmint-like flavour. It is also available in different portion sizes so if you like the taste and don't need the higher nic of a regular portion you can use Thunder Frosted mini portions. A bonus to the minis is that they are more discreet if that is a concern.
I've used a few online retailers, the most reliable in my experience is snuscentral.com.

Same here, winter is coming and my snuff intake is ramping up.

Yes, the tobacco is heat pasteurised which results in lower TSNA levels than other methods of curing. This apparently results in a lower cancer risk.
@stickframer I was recently in my local B&M, the only place that sells snus around me and they told me that once their current stock is done that's it. Their distributor is no longer going to carry it. Not sure if it's the same for you out west but if you like to buy locally you may want to check that out.

I have always though that in the U.S the chewing tobacco is much more popular,especially among those rural area habitants.

Chewing tobacco isn't very popular at all. Dipping is. The confusion comes because most dippers call dip "chew" even though it's not chewed.

so I'm off dated ,perhaps in the southern regions of U.S chew is more practiced?

Generally, yes. Don't get me wrong - people still chew, and chewing tobacco is still readily available, it's not not nearly as prevalent as dipping (which is often called both chew and snuff.)

They take freshly cured leaf and subject it to temps upwards of 100C for 12 to 24 hrs. This is why cancer risk is non existent with properly processed snus.
The reason: Once tobacco is cured ( turned from green to brown) bacteria continue to grow on the leaf. This bacteria takes some of the major alkaloids such as nornicotine etc and slowly converts them into tobacco specific nitrosamines, which are cancer causing. By using freshly cured leaf and subjecting them to high temps the bacteria are destroyed and not available to do any converting.
This is also why Big Tobacco only buys Low Convertor (LC) Tobacco from farmers. LC tobacco has very low levels of nornicotine.
Additionally, Not all Swedish snus is low cancer risk. As far as I know it is only the Ettan brand.

Are there any dependable online retailers that you use?

You won't find any US-based sellers of snus, because chew, dip and snus were outlawed for sale by mail when the Family Tobacco Act went into effect.

Swedish Match introduced the Gothiatek standard in 2000 which involves heating of the snus blend to at least 90 degrees Celsius for a period of time long enough to reduce bacteria naturally occurring in tobacco. All Swedish Match products adhere to this standard as do most other snus manufacturers.

Traditional Swedish snus is banned for selling in any other Eu union country than in Sweden(eventually online sellings from sweden to another countries are considered illegal as well)

i read too that snuff only has one case of cancer, because a guy used to put some in his ear, and that turned into cancer.
