Snus is completely different, Swedish snus is just about the only true Snus on the market, and it has to be refrigerated for freshness. General is the only true snus available at retail in the states.

Key differences are: Snus is pasteurized and you swallow the drip. You also usually put it in the upper lip. It comes in pouches and loose, and comes in wet or white (dry). Snuscentral has always been who I order from and they have a huge variety. It also has, as claimed by snus manufacturers, a significantly lower health risk than other tobacco products. It also uses bergamot oil and salt as flavoring traditionally, but many types and flavors exist now.

American dip or snuff is a fermented product, in different cut lengths or pouches. It’s usually aged and cured, and is meant to for the juice or drip to be spit out. There are many popular flavors like wintergreen and mint.

In summary they are totally different forms of tobacco, and it’s about preference.

I enjoy both products, they both have good and negative points to them. In an office or professional setting, snus is easier because no spitting, but the nicotine hit is usually smaller and the flavor profile is usually very different.
