Camel Snus

livwire68 · 02-25-2009, 03:32 AM

Ok just stopped by 7-11 for a beverage and noticed camel now makes a snus. Has anyone tried it? I have always wanted to try the "real stuff" but for now I will have to try camel's. They had two flavors "frost and mellow" which have a special little fridge at the store for them. Will post more when I try them.

yeah ... I don't like it. someone posted a link up here a little while back for a website where you can get a free can of the REAL stuff ($1 shipping), which I like a lot better. every once in a while, I'll pop one in for a nice little zing and a burst of tobaccoie goodness.

I've seen and have been wondering about how good it is. I still can't pull the trigger and prefer to buy the imported stuff at a Tinder Box near me.

My best friend is a sales rep for Camel Snus. I've tried both the Menthol and the Natural. I prefer menthol, but the natural is OK(Tastes like flavored sweet cigars). The menthol reminds me of wintergreen Skoal pouches, but if my wife catches me with them, I'm in trouble.

Camel snus is the Keystone Light of snus. I'm going through about 12 different kinds of snus I got from getnus.com. I would try their free sample and see the difference. I'm loving this stuff.

The camel snus is way too mild for me. I much prefer the swedish stuff.

smokeyandthebandit05 · 02-25-2009, 10:04 AM

Ive tried the Spice and Frost flavors. The spice was like cinnamon and the Frost was like wintergreen. Out of the 2 the Spice was the best but I probably wont be buyin more

White97Jimmy · 02-25-2009, 10:45 AM

I got a free sample from Camel about a year ago. It wasn't flavored though. It wasnt bad, but probably not something I would regularly buy. It was weird not spitting though. I used mine while I was at work and no one even noticed.

that's the site I was thinking of.

Camel Snus has too much freaking sugar. I tried both the mellow and frost and it was like sucking on candy. It is no wonder why kids love the stuff and get hooked. IMO, Swedish snus is far much better, they do not have all that sugar. But then again, I like the flavor of formaldehyde-ammonia-Cope too.

DPD6030 · 07-28-2009, 11:25 PM

I like the Camel snus frost. It is sweet and I just ordered the sample from getsnus.com for $1 so I'll try some of that to. Of course it doesn't hurt getting the Camel for free from my connection.

Mark · 07-28-2009, 11:43 PM

I have a number of free tins of camel snus. I used to live in sweden and used the "real" stuff every day, and I can say that Camel snus is about a fourth the strength in vitamin N as swedish match snus (General, Göteborg's Rapé, Röda Lacket, etc). If you are looking for a real snus experience go to a B&M that sells it or try to find one of the swedish match brands. Camel snus is a marketing gimmick with VERY little nicotine, and a LOT of sugar.

If you can't find it anywhere locally let me know and I can send you a can. The shop I work at sells General Portions.

I like it every now and then for a long drive or when I'm studying. (I don't smoke cigarettes) Haven't tried the "real" stuff though.

King James · 07-29-2009, 09:10 AM

I have had General Snus, but not camel. Kind of indifferent about snus as I used to dip and it didn't do much for me.

Sancho · 07-29-2009, 09:55 AM

pointless, tastes like a hard candy and has seemingly zero vit. N

Footbag · 07-29-2009, 10:03 AM

They are releasing new flavors, bigger tins and bigger pouches around military bases I've heard.

MajorCaptSilly · 07-29-2009, 11:50 AM

Love Snus. Hate Camel snus. There is apparenly new Swedish Camel Snus that is closer to what snus should be.

Just don't get the General Wintergreen. That stuff will make you ill! The regular General is fine.

The Professor · 07-30-2009, 06:12 AM

Agreed -- I don't like the wintergreen either. The regular is tasty.
