Marlboro and Camel Snus

[burnsb]

Just wanted get opinions on Marlboro Snus. $2.00 for a pack here in AL, however there are only 6 portions in the pack. I've tried the spearmint, I think it was, there are 6 flavors or so.

I like the Camel stuff okay. Really like my e-cig now that I have it.

I've managed to quit smoking with the e-cig, been using Camel Snus for aobut 6 months when I couldn't smoke, (in class, or certain public gatherings/church).

However, I been a smoker for about 10 years, dipped Copenhagen before that for about 5 years starting when I was 15. Marlboro and Camel Snus both seem really weak compared to Copenhagen Snuff.

It really seems like the American Snus is being marketed as a way to "smoke" when you can't smoke. They both seem really weak, though, so you won't want to quit smoking. I'm assuming the Swedish Snus is more like Copenhagen?

They were giving away coupons for free snus on Marlboro.com. Gotta register though but it's a cool site. Pool, Darts, Blackjack.

Thanks, I'll check it out. However, I'm hoping the Marlboro Red Snus (called Red or Regular or something) is stronger, otherwise, the Marlboro snus is too weak for me. (2.5 pack/day smoker)

The Swedish snus is produced in a different process, resulting in a less harmful product. It comes in many different strengths, from around 4mg to around 17mg, I believe. There are also a lot more flavor variations in the Swedish product. GetSnus.com will send you a sampler for $1.

Dur not worth the cost per portion

I started with the camel snus and even the 4mg swedish snus seems to have more of a kick than the camel. Like firechick said, the swedish snus is much safer. It has lower tsna's. In sweden, the tobacco industry is regulated by what would be like our version of the FDA and they have to meet certain standards. Also with the swedish snus you get 24 regular size portions in a can for around $3. You might want to get the general sampler. Most people who like the camel also like the general mini mints and regular portion mint. The minis have 4mg of nic and the regular have 8mg.

i tried marlboro smooth for heck of it yesterday...bought it for $2.50.

imagine a snus dry as paper.

the taste and sensation of taking a stick of doublemint gum...chewing it and placing it in your upper lip.

thats my review of marlboro snus

in comparison...camel snus a helluva lot better

with a nice slimey los taking up real estate it is nice not having a portion in.

Actually, the Marlboro "red" snus isn't any stronger, and it has a cocoa overtone to it (the flavor is very pleasant, however)...

Save yourself the trouble and go to getsnus.com and getcha some swed snus, it's much better quality, and stronger kick

Absolutely. Swedish snus has no equal from Big tobacco. Candy with a very slight amount of nicotine. Introductory Offer - GetSnus.com sample of the real deal for $1 shipping. The samples are 8mg for the regular sized portions and 4mg for the mini's. The stuff I normally use is 16 and 17mg, but I'm a case.

Thank-you for the website info TV. I bought my first snus today at a Quick Mart. It is Camel Snus, the purpose is to use it during an airline flight and for the long waits inside the airlines. I tried one today, my first snus ever. Actually it felt strong but I have vaped only for almost 6 months (no analogs and no snus) and lately only 10-12mg e-liquid so maybe the reason it felt strong to me. If the swedish snus is better I will try it. I find the whole snus idea very interesting.

Swedish snus blows US snus out of the water.

Thanks to hearing and heeding the recent PACT alerts of the dedicated snusers here, I just hit getsnus up for what for me (as someone who had only tried a few samples thus far, including of popular Swedish varieties) was a very large order, for.... Discreet minis! oops:?) Emerald Ice, Strawberry & Peach. Dunno, perhaps smirk-worthy to the aficionados lol, but wimpy me is likin it, and learning to like it/make use of it more and more as a trade-off with vaping. And 'twas sure a great deal!!

Also supposed to be pasteurized, lower TSNAs and all that good stuff at least... And while presumably not right for anyone wanting to get away from a candy-ish taste, I hope not to hear that Discreet was a 'compositionally' not-so-wise choice in some way...

 

[Stubby]

Discreet is okay, but it does have saccharine in it as a sweetener. It is made like the Swedish snus and from what I hear has very low TSNA numbers, comparable to the Swedes.

Just so you know IL tax on smokeless is on the low side. I think it's 18% of wholesale. That's not bad compared to some of us. Bunch of places in the Chicago area where you can get it at brick and mortar stores. If stores in the flatlands start carrying a larger selection of snus, as in Ettan, Skruf, etc, I may be making some snus runs in the future to your fair city. Chicago is also targeted by Swedish match as one of the cities that will be expanding their presence in the next year.

Ah, very interesting, thanks! Had no idea about all that! And 'good' to hear about the saccharine too -- I'm fine with that (since it was ultimately 'cleared' in realistic quantities), whereas if it had been aspartame I'd be bummin big time! That stuff gives me a splitting headache and more, and all-around just doesn't sound good at all to consume in any quantity.

Happier with what I got now, and will look forward to seeing what else might pop up locally in the future!

Ditto. Swedish snus is the only way to go. Healthier, safer and thoroughly satisfying (in some ways, I find it even more satisfying than analogs, really!).

BTW, watch 60 Minutes tomorrow. They are doing a segment about snus.

I'm looking forward to that! Haven't read up on whether anyone's projecting what angle it will come from, guess I'll just let it be a surprise!

Miss MIA, I'm a wimp too, but I like the Scandinavian snus. You may enjoy the General mini mints and Fellini (Danish snus). Just order mint or eucalyptus flavored white mini portions. As much as I love the real stuff, I woudn't be caught dead with the tobacco flavored, wet, salty, sour, bergamot-y sterk portions, trust you me. This is not for the weak of heart.

I appreciate the tips; sounds like we may be on the same page! If I wasn't so bleary-eyed by now (insomnia strikes again) I'd list everything I have so far, several not even cracked yet. Will come back and do so another time tho, would be interesting to hear what you think!

 

[Dredbull]

honestly the mini mints and mint are almost a staple in my rotation and I am a huge extra sterk los user.
