Been thinking of trying some snus out but unsure of what are the best sites for the UK. I have looked at snus24.com but the shipping is crazy money, so any help would be great. I want some general snus and the lundgrens to try taking along side my snuffs. Im not wanting super high nic snus so want to try the ones i mention as they are around 8mg which I think will be fine for me hopefully been a heavy smoker. So want these to try and stop fags and just use snus and snuff
A couple of UK-based fellas of mine procure snus from that store. A roll of Islay Whisky Loose for a mere USD 22.40 - that’s more than fair price, bloody affordable, actually. I’m not sure if you can find cheaper shipping for snus these days.

There is a thread here somewhere about buying snus in Europe. I used to get mine from https://snuskompagniet.com, one of the sites that was recommended, you may still find the postage a bit high but they also do deals.
I’ve had to stop snussing now, found out I have high blood pressure, shouldn’t really use snuff but i enjoy it too much.

You ever been wacked with custom fees might bang an £100 order in.
Ye I agree seems its all been sent from the US from what I can see no UK sellers
From Sweden, actually, but most buyers are in the US.

I have used Snusline for a lot of years to my UK address . Lost a few in transit . . Never been charged duty though . I don’t like the direct shipping from Sweden nowadays or needing to buy quite a bit to offset shipping costs. It does still mostly work though .
I only use 8-12 mg snus myself , mostly loose because the portions don’t suit me .

With just a couple of rolls it works out same as procuring from Snusline, @Pikey. Free shipping was a cherry, but rather steep mark-up on Skruf, Smålands and some other non-GNT / non-V2 loose products was the astringent element. The assortment was also rather limited on Snusline - after all, it was mainly a GN Tobacco and V2 Tobacco outlet.
In this case, i. e. ordering from the EU, it’s just the opposite - as non-EU dwellers anymore, you folks can enjoy low snus prices and access to all brands now, including those of Swedish Match … and pay more for delivery.

I don’t think that customs can charge duty since its illegal to sell in the UK but not illegal to use, and you can’t charge tax on something that is technically illegal.

Excise is not applicable, but VAT is, maybe?

I don’t think so, going back a few years but i bought a load of dip from the US and customs mistook it for rolling tobacco. I rang them and then sent the legal bit they had on the customs website and they sent it me without me needing to pay anything.

Thanks for the replies will give these sites a look at closer later. Not looking to order anything just yet so just trying to do a bit of digging around before I jump in on a site. While Im thinking about it any idea as to what they wrap the loose snus in as will need whatever it is they use as going to try some loose and portioned snus when I order it.
Much luv people

With loose (los) . you just squeeze up a pellet and bung it in your top deck . It’s quite easy to do . It’s a lot like playing with wet hash . You can buy empty portion bags but no need . Occasionally a brand won’t ‘pinch’ up but nearly all will form a nice solid lump.
I’m not too fussy about snus , I can use anything and not really care . General classic is a good choice . I use a lot of Odens los for money reasons . Licorice is my preference but they;re all tolerable ,

Also for a paltry £7.50 , you could add a tub of Odens original chew bags to your next Mr Snuff order . That’s the cheap way to sample snus in the UK without risking 60-70 quid buying blind .
There’s also a few UK tobacconist websites that stock the Odens bags . Selection is limited to a couple of options in the regular strength ; original or cold . It’s ideal material for a ‘proof of concept’ trial though .

Are we talking all white portion, with exact figures like that? If we’re talking salted boiled swedish tobacco product, it’s stout but not imposing. I’ll chew Copenhagen and gut it, but all white portion I’ll overdose on anything over 3mg. Absorption of nicotine from a Marlboro full flavor is about 10% or 1 mg. Absorption from everything but snuff is even lower. And unless we have a deranged German engineer focussing on medical science in our ranks we may never know the true absorption rate of nasal snuff.

We have tried all white and were not excited.
Snus is snuff, all white - tobacco-free NPs.
We are talking snus here:

Tell the mouse in your pocket I say “hello.”
43 years with no citation of peer review. Anecdotally I’d be willing to accept those numbers, however.
Decided to grab some oden’s original portions to try. But will look at these sites next month and order about £60-70 squid of bits. If they arrive ok and not stung might do another order of around £120-130 including postage hopefully keeping it below £135 will be safe.
