Any Snus users here?
I have never been a fan of chewing tobacco's or dipping tobacco's...the thought of constantly having to spit, and nasty particles of Copenhagen on my teeth never appealed to me. The one time I did Copenhagen, it really sent me spinning. Uncle Mark chewed red man and when we road in the back seat we quickly learned that even without A/C with 100 degree weather and 90+ humidity, you didn't roll the windows down.
By accident awhile back I purchased some Snus when placing a snuff order, and received some Makla, and my experience thus far has been limited to that:
This stuff is the consistency of a loose putty at the proper moisture level, and stays put under the upper lip, where it doesn't (in my limited experience) generate spit. I doubt that i would ever be a daily user, but for change of pace, it is nice and like snuff it has it's place for when you cannot enjoy a bowl. The Makla that I have sure has a nic-hit factor that is up there.
I bought mine from a UK distributor, I guess that making revenue outside their borders on snus is legal, just not so for domestic use.

Snus (/ˈsnuːs/; Swedish pronunciation: [snʉːs]) is a moist powder tobacco product originating from a variant of dry snuff in early 18th-century Sweden. It is placed under the upper lip for extended periods. Snus is not fermented and contains no added sweeteners. Although used similarly to American dipping tobacco, snus does not typically result in the need for spitting and, unlike naswar, snus is steam-pasteurized.
Snus is commonly sold in the Nordic countries but sale is illegal in all the European Union except Sweden.[1][2] Local varieties of snus, growing in popularity in the United States, have been seen as an alternative to smoking, chewing, and dipping tobacco. However, US-manufactured snus does not have the same production standards or ingredients as Swedish snus, and typically uses significant amounts of sweeteners.[3]

Makla (Belgian and African) is a moist tobacco similar to Scandinavian snus in many respects. It is placed in the upper lip in a manner similar to snus; it differs in that it is more finely ground and has an even higher nicotine content and pH level. Sales within the European Union are legal due to its classification as a chewing tobacco. Its safety in comparison to snus has not been studied sufficiently.
