I finally tried loose snus. Specifically, I opted go for the General Los. I knew that I liked General, and from everything I read, the los was even better than portions.
I cracked open the tin and took a good look. Loose snus looks like very fine, black potting soil. I mean, it looks just like dirt. On the other hand, it smells so clean, pure and fresh. That, in itself, made my mouth water.
I pulled out the Prismaster and loaded it up. As I’ve read elsewhere, I put my finger over one end and pressed the snus until a little bit of juice began to flow. Rather than sticking it straight into my mouth, I ejected the pris into the palm of my hand to get a good look. I rolled it around and reshaped it a bit, the stuck it under my lip.
The first thing I noticed was how HUGE the pris felt relative to portions. The cylindrical shape, rather than the flat shape of a portion, and what I estimate to be three times as much tobacco contributed to this. The next thing I noticed was that it felt very soft against my gums, with no hint of irritation that I sometimes feel from even the best quality portions.
It took only a minute or so for the pris to start to soften and conforming to the shape of my gums. The juice and nicotine came on and it was great. I realized then that I loved loose snus!
After about 30 minutes, though, I started to feel little bits of tobacco on my tongue. I looked in the mirror and the snus was dripping and running all over my teeth. There was no way I could ever use this in public. I used my finger to scoop it out and found that no matter how hard I tried, the only way to really get it out was to rinse my mouth with water. This is contrary to how I use portions, in that I sometimes leave a portion in for 90 minutes or more… as long as the flavor lasts.
So, I can’t wait to open up and try some of the other loose snuses I have. The problem is that since I can only use it when I’m home alone, it’s going to take forever for me to work through this tin of General. I guess I have something to look forward to.
