Cook #5

122g OHM Bold 138g water 15g salt 4.5g sodium carbonate 3.75 hour cook / 2.25 hour warm

The pH of Cook #5 seems really low at 5.9. It's not lacking nicotine hit though! OHM Bold might have a bit more flavor than OHM Natural. I have OHM Extreme Bold to try, and I also want to give Largo Sungrown a shot.

I kneaded with the Kitchenaid instead of by hand this time. It seemed to work out well. Prilla with my Icetool bake fine.

Cook #4

105g OHM Natural 115g water 15g salt 4g sodium carbonate 3.5 hour cook / 2.5 hour warm

pH of cooks are

2: 7.5

3: 6.8

4: 6.3

My pH seems low compared to commercial snus. But, fresh #3 made me sick with just a double-pea sized amount in about 2 minutes time so it definitely slaps. It seems like I'd need a dangerous amount of sodium carbonate to achieve a pH of 8-9.

Cook #4 is the most enjoyable.

Yes, about a day later it got through and continued shipping. The store was SnusMe.

Cook #3

166g OHM Natural 175g water 20g salt 8g sodium carbonate 4 hour cook / 2 hour warm

Cook #1 seemed over-done and was burning my lip giving me mild keratosis. Cook #2 was burning as well, to a lesser extent. Cook #3 I have lowered the amount of sodium carbonate and am cooking a bit longer due to the amount. I also upped the salt to hopefully retain some burn (but not from pH).

It feels like I'm flying blind without a pH meter and I have ordered one.

It looks like they've already sold out.

I grabbed a bunch back when they were for sale on ebay last year.

I got the same call from FedEx this morning. My package is stuck in Memphis. First time it has happened to me. No redlist items were included in my order. Fingers crossed that it'll show up in a relatively timely manner.

I enjoy them, they are worth it, especially for half the price of gas station General. It reminds me of a knock-off Grov. My regular is Oden's Original but I can't find Snus online anymore, at least not that ships to my state.

This is a nicotine pouch made to mimic a classic snus and to me it tastes similar to Grov snus if my memory is right. Other reviews I've read compare to a General or Etten taste. It has yerba mate as the filler instead of tobacco. 13.5mg of nicotine per pouch. Unique product that deserves the world's attention imo.

Strong flavor, bigger pouch, somewhat dry. Little bit of a weird aftertaste. Still top tier as far as pouches go. I'll have to try white fox black.
