I didn't care for the Swedish personally, but that's probably because I was already used to the camel.

Mellow is like a piece of candy that lasts for hours on end.

I haaaaaaate the mellow. Maybe it's because I started on frost from the beginning, but whenever my close gas stations are out of frost and I have to get mellow, I usually throw it out after only a few. I can't stand it.

trying to quit cope, starting to give me headaches after 20 years... might give snus a try. I had some when I was in Sweden years ago and liked it, but tried the general here and wasn't feeling it.

what is the difference in the swedish?

The camel version is very low in nicotine, it certainly doesn't give you the same feeling as a dip. At this point, I just do it for the oral fixation, it passes the time, and habit. After a meal, on a drive, etc. I also like how I can keep one in like 3 times as long as a dip.

Probably the most notable difference in Swedish and camel is the smell. At first, Swedish smells really.... swedish. I kinda think everything in Sweden smells like ammonia with a hint of fish. It's just a little different. The pouch is bigger and has a lot more tobacco in it.

But I agree, it's not the same as dip. You can feel dip within 30 seconds if you haven't had it in a while. It's a much longer absorption process. However, it's significantly safer. It's fermented tobacco and not fire-cured. The curing process is what adds most of the carcinogens in tobacco. There's no significant link to cancer and snus use.

Anyway, you can probably get it at any decent gas station. They usually keep it in a small fridge under the counter. Idk about Georgia or anywhere in the South, but in PA there's a place called Sheetz that always has it.

i dipped skoal for YEARS. i was going through a can a day. i switched to snus a few years back and get mine direct from sweden. Catch Eucalyptus.

1. same nicotine buzz
2. no spitting
3. can is 2/3 the price
4 can lasts me four-five days
5. snus is less of an oral cancer risk than snuff. (but apparently slightly increases the risk of pancreatic cancer)
