I think somewhere on here a while ago there was a debate about if philp morris was planning on makeing a snus well heres the answer to that.

No Phillip Morris is making real Snus. They bought the Rocker Snus out. I have not tried it yet myself but it seems as if it is decent. So far it is only available in two pouch types. I believe the Swedish laws are involved with the product so it should be pasteurized etc. Has anybody here tried snus nasally? I've thought about it more than once!

The heck with PM. It's easy enough to make your own.
It is easy to manufacture Swedish snus and snuff. You can save about
10,000 - or even more in just one year by making your own snuff.
Good, cheap, and cleaner snuff with just a little effort..?

Ingredients:
250g ground raw tobacco (fine or gross after liking & taste)
4-5dl water (400-500ml)
55-70g. table salt
10g. Sodium carbonate
Glycerol 1.5%-3.5% of finished snus mass
Flavourings (essential oils, spirits, spices, etc.)
How to make:
1. Boil up 4-5dl water along with 55-70g. salt - after liking and
taste. Let salt solution cool to approximately 50 degrees.

2. Take up a sufficiently large containers of items; sheet metal,
glass or porcelain etc. The container should resist 55-75 degrees C
and not give any taste to the tobacco.

Pour in salt solution and mix: stirring in 250g. fine-or coarse-
ground raw tobacco (after liking & taste). Let the mixture stand and
feel free to draw any hour. Stir the mixture thoroughly.

The containers you use, you can then carefully seal with aluminum
foil or lid of the vessel (if available).

3. Put the vessel or plate with tobacco in an oven or similar
environment with a temperature of 55-75°C for about 5 days depending
on the heat you have. Stir in the vessel each day, the mixture
becomes too dry, you cook up 1 dl. water with 2 teaspoons table
salt, and mix in the "right texture" (liking and taste).

An alternative to the oven is to use a box that you line inside with
frigolit. The source of heat, use an ordinary light bulb - to ensure
that the lamp is not in contact with frigoliten. You may try up
until which the watt-strength, which is appropriate, depending on
the size, how tight it is or what temperature you desire. Check the
temperature with a digital or regular thermometer you stick in the
top.

4. After approximately 5 days, take out the mass and mix sodium
carbonate (10g., a little more or less after liking & taste). Mix
the sodium carbonate in a little water first, then it is easier to
mix it with the snus.

You mix now also in Glycerol 1.5% -3.5% of finished snusmassa (after
liking & taste). You can find glycerol (glycerin), for example,
Apoteket. Mix on properly.

Sodium carbonate is used to make snuff its characteristic flavour
and aroma, which means that snuff pH value will be mild alkaline.
Directly on the appointment natriumkarbonatet converted to sodium
bicarbonate. Glycerol acts as fuktighetsbevarare.

At that moment, you can flavour your snuff with pure essential oils.
For example, bergamot, rose, geranium and citron or why not a tasty
spirit… But be careful, try your way with a few drops at a time. At
the Aroma Creative AB, you'll find good and sufficient numbers of
various essential oils to you is to experiment until you a fantastic
snuff. The essential oils are expensive to buy, but it requires very
small amounts, one or more ml. per 2 kg of snuff.

5. Now the snuff is ready for use, if the moisture content is too
high, then put snuff on a newspaper covered with paper towels to dry
out a bit, 2-4 hours depending on season and room temperature.

6. You pack now in snuff cans, boxes or whatever you want, which is
dense and odourless. Remember that storage elevates the aroma. If
you are not a storsnusare you can usefully freeze down snuff for a
long time and always have access to fresh snuff.

And...Thanks for the recipe snuffgrinder! If I wasn't the lazy son of my mother I'd be cooking up a batch right now.

Ive gotten into snus the past few months, so Ill give my two cents. I think someone on here mentioned snus and I had to look it up. I ordered some of the swedish stuff and it has been pretty good. It gives me some nicotine while my nose still adjusts to snuff. Well, Im adjusted but I havent been able to take enough snuff at once to satisfy cravings. Anyway, oddly enough, I offered some snus to a friend one day, and to my surprise, he pulled out tin of Camel Snus. I thought it was dip, but sure enough it says snus. He got it free in a club around Atlanta. Now you can buy it in stores. Ive had all three flavors now. Frost has no tobacco flavor, just a strong sweet wintergreen flavor. Spice is just like sucking on Big Red gum. If you havent had that, its a strong cinnamon with something else, maybe clove. Ive only had one of the Natural, and it soured very quickly. Anyway, I like snus because of so many flavors like snuff. It is like dip but you can swallow the juice, which is why I stayed away from dip. Yes, I know some people swallow dip but I cant.

Today, I was getting some gas and I saw a new display for Camel Snus in the gas station, and beside that they had another display of something called Triumph. It is actually made by Swedish Match, same people who make most of the snus out there. You can still get a can for free. Triumph Mint is not quite as strong as Camel Snus taste-wise, but I trust Swedish Match more than RJ Reynolds. Seems like it would just be like an American company to make something extra sweet to hide their addictive additions. Just speculation there, no based on anything factual.

One thing I hate about it is that when I've tried the american flavoured snuses they've been the only ones I don't like. Some how the swedish don't get american flavours which sucks because their orginal flavours although possibly strange they really get them right. Plus I really think that their apeal is in diffrence not in sameness. Yes a lot of the flavours have been made to appeal to a american market.

The grovsnus made a decent plain snuff, but much too salty. An aromatic "cigar" tobacco scent stayed around for a long time. But the salt made my nose smart. Makes a nice dry dip though. I think this snus was made from the lugs and smalls - bottom leaves and suckers, judging by the high vein to leaf ratio. Schmalzers also have loads of salt, but the addition of oil probably keeps it from dissolving all at once like this one did. I'll have to try that next.

I've been thinking of trying to make a nasal snuff using a 2% salt solution and sweating it at a high temperature like snus.

no snus is very diffrent then american chews. For one thing snus seems to be more even in delivery. Where american chews seem to kick hard in the front then die out much quicker then snus. The taste is not as strong more of a nice flavour that seems to have more of an aromatic quality then food flavour. Snus is almost more like a paste then american chew which is more like shreds. Plus it doesn't fuck up your gums nearly as badly.

Yeah gums just don't grow back when you stop either. People who are always packing a lip are asking for trouble. A lot of fools use a can a day. Damn that would kill me off fast. It's a once and a while treat for me. I like Stoker straight dip. I take a dime sized dip and it lasts for at least an hour. Perfect for a long ride in the car or just about any outdoor activity. There are a lot of dips out there and most of them are candied-up crap. They have a sickening aftertaste and little satisfaction. But if you want to compare snus to dip, at least try some real baccy - Stokers Straight or Cope original. No funky candy flavor, just pure tobacco goodness. And that flavor lasts a long time, for me anyway.

One thing I did like about the snus experience was the technique of "upper decking" or putting the dip in the upper gum. It causes much less spit to form and improves the experience.

Snus is different from dip in that it is a pasteurized tobacco product and is considered by the Swedish government as a food product. It is much less harmful to the mouth and gums than dip is.

You are doing it right. put it in forget no need to spit. I love it for work and video games mostly other times snuff is perfect.

the trick is in the pinch. If you do it right your lip won't strain and in fact straining your lip will cause it to squeze the snus too much. I find whats best is to roll the snus into a ball or square (depending on the grind) then with your finger find a deeper spot above your lip put the ball up there. This is the trickier part on the outside of your lip place a finger horizontialy below the ball then with the other hand spread the ball out. Then just let your lip hang naturaly. should be able to stay in for a good while, plus as an added benifit the spreading out of the snus gives you more nicoteen (Suurface area and all that).
