I was a smoker for 38 years and gave it up by switching to Swedish snus a little over 3 years ago. I quit just in time before the taxes started piling up. When I quit smoking you could still get a carton of Marlboro Reds for $25.00. So I timed it just right. (talk about timing )
I'm still getting my nicotine, I just get it without the smoke. I went one step further. I learned how to make my own snus. (http://www.snuson.com/forum/showthread.php?14771-Crockpot-Snus-Oven-Snusugn) I'm the guy with the crockpot snus oven over at SnusOn that whalen linked to. I've modified my recipe a little to make it almost as good as the real stuff. I can actually survive on my homemade snus without feeling like I miss the store bought stuff.
I also grew my first crop of tobacco last year, ( http://www.snuson.com/forum/showthread.php?15914-JT-s-P-A-C-T-Garden ) I took this year off but I'll be growing again next year. I grew DelGold last year (which turned to be the wrong kind for snus) but I can still use it for blending, between that and some Stokers raw leaf I bought, I'm covered well past next fall when I hope to have a crop of the right tobacco.
I just pulled over 24 hours straight working a project, so I'm about ready to crash and recover. I'll start contributing some info and join in on the conversation later this week. I've also saved up a shitload of DelGold seeds that I can share but first I need to see if they'll germinate. Anywho, HI
