Any snuffers?

Camel Snus comes in a pouch, like Skoal Bandits.

Jonesing, Snus is pronounced snoose. That is why you thought your grandfather was saying snoose, he probably was, lol.
Snus is very similar to dip, but it is different. I have never used actual snus, but from what I hear about it, it is kind of like a clay type stuff that you take a pinch and mold it into a shape and insert it in your upper lip.
I am pretty sure that snuff predates dip. I know that people were using snuff a long time ago. Napoleon used tons of snuff.
Chew on the other hand has probably been done since tobacco has been founded. I have no proof of it, but I imagine that people were probably chewing the leaves before they learned to smoke it.
I have tried the Camel Snus. It was OK. People that I have talked to that have tried real snus (which is commonly referred to as Swedish Snus) say that Camel is nothing like real snus.

All this snus and snuff talk got me in the mood so I made an order at The Northerner.
Couple Swedish Candies in here too. (pastilles)
Thunder Frosted Extra Stark, Strong Portion

Wilsons Aniseed Extra, Snuff

Wilsons Crumbs of Comfort

Special Pastilles, Läkerol

Skruf Xtra Strong Portion

Odens Extra Stark Licorice, Strong Portion

Odens Original Extra Stark, Strong Portion

Original Pastilles, Läkerol

High Dry Toast, Fribourg & Treyer
Can't believe they'll ship it all by mail for 7 bucks all the way from Sweden.

That's a nice looking order Jonesing!
I have tried the Wilson's Aniseed Extra. It is pretty nice. You have to like licorice though. If you don't like licorice, you won't like the Aniseed Extra. I have some of the Crumbs of Comfort and the High Dry Toast, but haven't tried them yet.
I was just researching snus a bit. It is actually very moist nasal snuff that is used orally. So I guess that there is no difference between snuff and snus except for the moisture level and the way that it is used.
I may have to try some.

The brand I tried was Camel mild. Said to be made in Sweden. Camel is the only brand available here. I will order some Swedish Portion from the internet. Probably much better quality.

Camel is made in the states.

You can get a wide selection of much better snus here http://www.northener.com/

Marlboro snus is much better than Camel in my opinion. Camel is too harsh and the flavors are inferior. Marlboro peppermint and spearmint are the best. I prefer the spearmint to the peppermint. I tend to not have any trouble if I gut it like they say you can, but I can gut dip now also :/ .
Currently, ive been using Skoal Citrus pretty regularly, about a can a week. It makes the library a more interesting place to be.
I enjoy nasal snuff and have many different types. I use it occasionally, but not to frequently as if I do I tend to have sinus problems.

Thank for the info phage, I will give Marlboro a try. I use snus whilst golfing. No gutting for me. I hardly have any.
