Marlboro Snus hits The Shelves...

... and I just started using this stuff on Sunday,April 25Th.
The Marlboro version of snus comes in 4 varieties-- Rich,Mild,Peppermint and Spearmint. i chose to sample the " Rich" version of the product. I went into my local convenience store this morning and I paid $3.99 for the product. Marlboro's snus version differs from Camel's in a couple of ways.
1) Marlboro cost #3.99 for only 6 pouches. Camel gives you 15 pouches for around $4.99 since the introductory special has lapsed.
2) "Rich" flavor has some kick to it. to much kick for my taste. When I placed the pouch in between my cheek and gums, Marlboro tasted like chewing tobacco to me. I could live with that.
3) Marlboro will last in your mouth for 30 minutes according to the packaging. I had the first pouch in my mouth for close to 45 minutes and it still worked as far as killing the craving for a smoke went. It might have lasted longer, but my stomach was beginning to get a little queasy so I tossed it.
As I have stated at the beginning, that was only the first pouch, so I've still 6 more to go.
We'll see what happens.
