Russian snoose...

[Gologit]

Anybody ever try it? Samlock sent me a couple of cans of the stuff and since I don't partake anymore (dentures and snoose do not go well together) I thought I'd bring them to Farley's GTG.

You guys that still dip are welcome to give it a try. We'll find out if PNW snoose is a match for the Russian variety.

 

[Samlock]

There's several people who have outlived the stuff.

I tried some Swedish snoose back in high school. It was like the fine fines from a saw, much finer than say copenhagen. Much less sweet too but packed a punch. The dude was an exchange student who had mailed himself an excess of his brand from Sweden. He eventually ran out and took up cope fine cut. He would get caught in class and swallow it on the way to the principals office. The principal could not believe it, he'd follow Chris around waiting for him to fall ill haha, by that time Chris would have another chew in. I'd probably turn green if I tried that...

I had some dry snuff (the sort that goes up the nose) from over there. I was cross eyed for about an hour. I'm guessing that's some good stuff you got.

my english teacher in high school told the class the snuff was something that old ladys stick in their nose to feel good...i told her i was sticking with copenhagen long cut, but i wasn't going to rule out giving snuff a shot if I got the chance.

I had thought the "Russian snoose" was some sort of advanced felling cut Bob was willing to teach us!

13 or so years ago I worked with a guy who used to have family ship him cases of the Swedish stuff. He'd moved here from Sweden as an adult. I tried his stuff ONCE. Man that #### packed a punch. He only dipped the US stuff if he had no other choice...

Will not even start up my saw before I have put up a snus under my lip! Feels kinda awkard otherwise....

This one originates from 1822. The oldest brand in Sweden. Good stuff.

Here in Finland snuff usage is illegal! I lived Oregon for most of life. While in Oregon- I started using Copenhagen (straight) at a very young age, two cans a day. Then I moved to Finland recently & found it was illegal(snuff). A friend of mine here(Finland) gave me some Swedish snuff called General Onyx. It isn't as good as Copenhagen, but it will have to do... I have to go to Sweden & buy the stuff!

Is all smokeless tobacco use illegal over there?

Never tried Russian snus, but I have seen some Afghan dip. It's called naswar and is practically neon green. Rumor is that it has some serious chemicals and opium in it. The folks over there put it under their tongue and don't spit it, and it seems to have much more effect, makes Cope snuff look like FunDip or big league chew. They also put some on their thumbs and snort it like old school snuff. One cool thing is the personalized snuff tins they keep it in. Everyone does it over there, tobacco use is pretty normal for those folks. I've even seen a farmer take a Lucky Strike and give his baby a puff!

When I was overseas I had my dad send me Rolls of Copenhagen, as the snuff we could buy there was Copenhagen in all Plastic Cans.

Yeah and you can definitely taste the difference between Stateside Cope and plastic can Cope too. It's still better than grizzly though! My first time there someone sent me 6 logs of Cope Straight, I dipped that from June to July and that got old after two logs...

Yes smokeless products are illegal here in Finland. :msp_thumbdn::bang: I heard have that, nasal snuff is legal, but I have never seen it, even in the liquor stores. I have seen those mint flavored- tobacco free products in the stores. To buy cigs & alcohol you have to 18+ years of age. To drive a car you have to be 18+ & gone through driver training school(expensive). Exception to the rule is; tractor license-16 yrs & moped 15 yrs with lots of restrictions! Its all good, because at age 18+, he or she is more or less an adult.Also national military for about one year(mandatory) around 18 years of age!:msp_biggrin:

You want have to remind me to never to move to Finland!! I dont know what i would do with out my chew? I dont know if I know how to run a saw without a big ol chew of Morgans in my mouth!! :msp_scared:

 

[twochains]

I was always a fan of chew not snuff (heart burn)! About 10 years ago I was prospecting for a 1% club and while at a rally, a guy turned me on to the nasal snuff. It was pretty good...wild berry mentholated. Nasal snuff is finer than Dental (old hill woman snuff). I walked around all night with my hair standing up. Went to the tobacco store to buy some but it never had the same effect on me...hmmmm :confused2: After 2 weeks you couldn't even really get a buzz off it. If people thinks chewing or dipping is gross...nasal snuff will put them in their place! That crap will drain right back out your nose....not too sexy!

 

[Joe46]

Lets see you were prospecting for a 1% club and you put something up your nose that one of the members turned you on to? But you never got the same buzz after that? That'll learn ya:bang:

 

[OlympicYJ]

I'm guessing it had something else added in with it!

I love Copenhagen Black but they stopped making it. Went to natural for a while then wintergreen and then they came out with Southern Blend and they stopped selling it just a few weeks ago. Got some Cope smooth hickory and put some Jack in it along with tin of Cope whiskey blend. Whiskey in the snoose always makes it better for me lol

Snus is actually illegal in the whole European Union. Thanks to them good willing politicians in Bruxelles. Sweden has an exemption, due to tradition or something.

I buy snus in Russia, 45 minutes drive to the border from my place.

Did you know it's illegal in Finland to ride a bike without wearing a biker's helmet too?

Is it hard to get across Russian borders and back again with tobacco products? As far as the helmets...there are several states here that helmets are mandatory. IMO it is good practice to always ride with a helmet. Although some argue that helmets dull the sound of "Natural Calling" :msp_biggrin:
