Hello everyone..... I placed and received my 1st order of snus last friday 7/23/10 from Northerner here is what I have and the ones i tried so far. 10 cans total... 1 of each... 6 cans open and of the open 1 came with a best used by date of 7/10/10 and 1 came best used by date of 7/30/10 not happy about that at all and all others are fine with dates after oct 2010 and into 2011...

Does everone have to peel back the label to see these dates? it is a bit dificult to do if you don't tear off just right

Goteborgs Rape no.2 white portion.... open and really like, my top so far

Eattan original portion.... open and also my top so far

Fellinni mint Mini white portion... open and like this after my dinner smoke, and in between cig time wish they came in reg. portion... Am A bit confused on what mg these are northerner says 8mg others say 4mg and from the hit I get i'm guessing 4

Odens Classic Kanel portion... open liked this at first then didn't left it for a few days and now like it but need to be in the mood.. 1 problem though the best used by date is tomorrow

General White Portion... open and still deciding but came with an already best before date of 7/10/10 not sure why i didn't order reg portion guess i liked that it has lemon citrus flavor but don't taste that so far

Grovsnus Portion.... open and kinda like it when I'm in the mood for just plain tobacco flavor, still deciding

Tre Ankare white mini portion.... not open

01 Original portion... not open

02 Strong portion.. not open

General extra Sterk portion.... not open

I am tempted to open an 02 strong portion or the general extra sterk to curb more of my smoking but can't decide which and I already have 6 cans open with 2 with the expire issue. i find that since i am still smoking although reduced since last friday i am only using maybe 4 portions per day as i don't want to build my nicotine tolerance up to high and then have to go to all strong. I am trying to go into this slowly....

To tell you the truth I would like to open all the remaing 4 unopened cans to try them all but am afraid some will dry out too much before i use them and that would be 10 cans open. Maybe I should just up my portions per day and cut out more smokes, but finding that hard... I do have them in the meat/veg drawer in the fridge with the slide set to the coldest meats setting and I did use the humidor tip on 3 cans and put holes under the catch lid and put paper towel stuffed up under the lid and soaked with water closed and they seem to be ok.. should I have the open ones in that drawer in ziploc bags or a piece of tuppaware? I have the unopend ones in a sealed ziplock for now.... Where in the fridge do you all keep yours and how?

Beside all off that I really am enjoying the snus and am looking forward already to making another order as I really want to try General Onyx and Roda lacket... Before this order I was aleady turned onto Nick & Johnny strong and have a few portions left in the home made humidor trick can, don't know why I didn't get more, but need to at some point....... sorry that this is long winded... Thanks for any input... Steve

Fellinni are 4 mg of nic. Most minis are. The exceptions are usually marked strong.

Don't worry to much about the "best by" dates. as long as you are going to use them in short order they will be fine. If it was for a long term storage stash I'd be much more upset by close dates. If I'm throwing it in the fridge to be used within a month or so, it's cool.

I've found a open can will last about 1.5 months in the fridge before drying out to much. Besides they juice right back up in your mouth.

Thanks Mick,Where in the fridge is best to keep snus? Does it matter? I have a colder storage drawer at the bottom that is for meats or veg and used to keep my case of beer Ice cold when set to the meat. My thought was to keep the snus as cold as possible then thought in this colder spot it might dry it out faster dunno any thoughts?

I used to keep mine in the produce drawer when I first started. If you are really worried about them drying out you can keep the open ones in a freezer bag, No days I just keep them in the "butter" tray.
RickCharles found out a while back that cutting a Pringles can in half makes a great little snus can holder. If you shorten it a little it fits perfectly in to that butter rack.
