The excess saliva from eating tends to make the snus get too wet and hard to keep in place. So generally when I eat I don't use snus. But it's nice to use some after a good meal and relax with a coffee!

Sometimes this results in a bit of my drink to run along my face though. Somehow seems to work much better when I've had a couple of beers sockwars Joined: 19 Oct 2006 Posts: 59 Local time: 10:36 AM Location: Cape Town, South Africa Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 6:20 am    Post subject: Yeh, my drinking + snus technique is yet to be refined to a normal standard of drinking etiquette! I think I prefer just doing it on it's own, I hate the taste of the 'juice'... I can always take it out and put it back in again (although not to the original effect) if I need to eat/drink. _________________ Snus of choice: CatchDry Eucalyptus lofat Joined: 22 Oct 2006 Posts: 14 Local time: 12:36 AM Location: Hayward, California Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 2:34 am    Post subject: I can and do drink with snus, portions or loose. I will not even attempt to eat with it... of course I would never smoke while I ate either. I like tobacco before, after, and in between meals. _________________ http://stillstream.com blizzardbeast Joined: 23 Oct 2006 Posts: 32 Local time: 8:36 AM Location: Arizona Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 11:51 pm    Post subject: I can drink with snus just fine, just tighten your lip around it so it doesn't get soaked and disintigrate, but I don't know about eating. tobebryant Joined: 19 Oct 2006 Posts: 7 Local time: 8:36 AM Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 11:47 pm    Post subject: Drinking is okay, but drink and being drunken not. If I am too drunken I cant hold it anymore, so that I start swallowing, although I dont really recognize it. That can have a bad end.. lol Pay attention with alc, lol, cheers, Tobi _________________ snus ahoi MortenGj Joined: 23 Oct 2006 Posts: 5 Local time: 8:36 AM Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 5:15 am    Post subject: I have no problems with drinking or eating while having snus in my mouth. I do it occasionally. But I love to use snus after eating. It gives me more pleasure when I just ate! It have a relaxing effect, so if you're chillin' with a movie or just relaxing. Using snus after eating, priceless! -MortenGj sockwars Joined: 19 Oct 2006 Posts: 59 Local time: 10:36 AM Location: Cape Town, South Africa Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 12:11 pm    Post subject: i ate for the first time with snus. it was only chocolate and it went down ok. i will still not use snus while eat a meal, its not worth the hassle i think. i love my food, and snus, but i enjoy them seperately. _________________ Snus of choice: CatchDry Eucalyptus phetish Joined: 28 Oct 2006 Posts: 16 Local time: 8:36 AM Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2006 1:31 am    Post subject: i think the combination of snus and different drinks is a blast to try. personally, a Mocca Mandarin and a Rum and Coke are excellent together. I think the Catch Dry Eucalyptus and Mountain Dew make a great combination. tobacco and alcohol... 2 great tastes that taste great together! derek _________________ Excellent: Camel Spice, Mocca Mandarin/Anis, Catch Dry Eucalyptus Good: Catch Dry Vanilla Coffee, Goteborgs Rape Bad: Kicks, Rocker anything bought but untasted: Mocca Mint, Catch Dry Licorice/Cassis Menthol, Metropol Lakritsrot, Revel carotevi Joined: 19 Oct 2006 Posts: 21 Local time: 8:36 AM Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2006 2:56 am    Post subject: phetish wrote: i think the combination of snus and different drinks is a blast to try. personally, a Mocca Mandarin and a Rum and Coke are excellent together.

I guess portion is easier to use simultaneously.... I generally use a straw to drink out of when I am snusing and drinking at the same time - that way I can pass the snus when I stick the straw far enough in my mouth. Like others here, I love Snus after a meal - especially after lunch or dinner - Ettan White Pouches are my fave after a meal. One time I forgot about a mini-pouch Goteborg Rape was in my mouth, and begin eating a hot dog - the Snus pouch got chewed up and I thought I just hit all the peppers and spices in the world. sockwars also wrote: I read about a Finnish guys who had problems (or died, I can't remember) because he swallowed too much snus 'juice', which is harmful for you if digested. Any opinions/views? According to Dr. Brad Rodu (which has studies Snus extensively and even in Sweden), the worst health hazard when swallowing the juices can be an upset stomach; but the stomach adjusts. Just do a google search for "Brad Rodu" if you want to learn alot about the ill effects of smoking (cigarettes or whatever) and that Snus is 98% less hazardous than smoking.

I like the more straight tobacco Snus after eating, which so far I found favor with is Ettan pouches. The other brands I save for in between. I did like CatchDry Vanilla and Coffee with my coffee, though. _________________ Clifton StarWing Joined: 08 Nov 2006 Posts: 16 Local time: 3:36 AM Location: Virginia, U.S.A.
