But she had needed the money.įresh out of high school, her parents refused to pay for college or provide their beautiful daughter with a place to call home. In this moment, there was nothing she regretted more than entering the lottery.

If in a cardboard tin, you’ll want to thaw in the refrigerator to prevent condensation mixing with the packaging glue and tobacco.Laura cried when she saw her name appear on the TV. If you stock up, either snuff or snus can be frozen for about a year. It should keep for a couple of weeks at room-temperature, but refrigeration is recommended for longer periods. A tin of snus has about a 30-day shelf life, after which it’ll begin to lose its moisture and flavor.īecause of its water content, snuff can spoil, too. Snus must be refrigerated to maintain that freshness. Snus, on the other hand, is steam pasteurized to eliminate impurities and keep it fresh. Snuff is fermented during the curing process. Swedish snus makers add flavors, but the natural tobacco flavor typically has a heavier presence. There are even alcohol flavors like bourbon and rum.Īmerican snus makers are apt to add stronger flavoring. Mint and wintergreen are probably the most popular, but some varieties also come in fruit flavors like cherry, banana, grape and others.

Snus is also finely ground but is enclosed in a small, teabag-like pouch which is inserted between the upper lip and gum. Snuff users spit the “juice,” or excess saliva, generated by the tobacco’s flavor. A small amount is “pinched” from the tin and placed in the mouth between the lower lip and gum. In today’s tobacco parlance, snuff is finely ground dipping tobacco, also called “moist” by the industry. Things have evolved in the intervening centuries. That’s nasal snuff – also termed dry snuff. In fact, “snus” is the Swedish translation for the word “snuff” and hearkens back to tobacco’s introduction to Scandinavia in the 16th century when dried tobacco was taken through the nose. It’s easy to be confused by the terminology. Both are usually packaged in a small round “tin” or “can,” with plastic replacing the metal of old. Two popular types of smokeless tobacco on today’s c-store shelves are snuff and snus (rhymes with goose).
