Buying Snus

I agree with the shipping problem. it’s $14 for tiny orders, but only like $16 for massive orders. At 10 cans that runs it up $1.40 per can. It sure takes a lot of the economy out of it. I love the snus I’ve tried recently, but I can’t justify ordering more. If I order anything from Swedish Match I can usually beat the price on a pack of cigs, and I can get Skoal XTra for $2.10 per can before coupons. I know it’s not the same, but it’s very alluring when you can walk to the gas station and pay half the price for a good product. If they bring snus to retail in the US so there is an economy for shipping I would love it. Regular Skoal is about $4.50 per can here, and I would gladly pay in that range for a can of a quality product. Cope isn’t for ‘real men’, it’s for people who can’t afford Skoal. Welfare Bear (Grizzly) is a disgusting urinal of leftover tobacco that should be purchased by no body. I will admit, Cope Black is pretty rockin.

snus irritates my throat why?

@Dogwalla General is sold all over the US, have you asked your tobacco store to stock it? People tell me you can even buy it in petrol stations now so its out there. General have a store locator on their website, may be worth having a look to see if there is anywhere near you selling it, then problem solved :slight_smile:

@bernardson - which snus do you use? The drip is something that could irritate your throat if you’re not use to it. definitely brands like thunder or any extra strong, etc. will cause more irritation than, say, ettan or grov. and @skell18 is correct … general is sold in many places in the US … in ohio you can get it at speedway gas stations and select tobacco shops. Swedish Match at one point tried to test Ettan in the states … I was hopeful it would be sold here, but they scrapped that plan.

The snusline snus came to day nice and fast ordered Snday evening got here friday strange thing it was posted from Israeil

I just wanted to try it out so I got the camel frost

@BeeMan they are based in Israel, the tin will say its kosher on the bottom, snus is the universal tobacco for all religions :smiley: lol

@bernardson … not to be disrespectful on your choice, but Camel and Marlboro snus that you are able to purchase in the US are fake imitations of real snus. You would be interested in trying some General or any Swedish Snus, only able to be purchased online (besides General). Check out the websites folks are discussing here … snuscentral, snusline, buysnus, etc. see if they irritate your throat. also, most folks place the snus in the upper lip, causes less salivation, less drip.

@bernardson I hate to get into the ‘real’ vs. ‘fake’ snus debate, but nothing really holds a candle to the Swedish stuff. Camel frost is entirely good tasting, but the nic is REALLY low and may not satisfy in the way you are hoping for. If you want to get a feel for the regular portion size, pick up a can of Skoal snus. They are also quite good tasting, and hit their peak in about an hour. Depending on your tolerance, it may or may not be enough. It took me a while to adapt to the tase of the Swedish stuff (salty as all hell and less distinguishable flavors) but they have the punch I need and seem to just be a better experience all around. The Marlboro stuff was terrible in my opinion, but that’s just one man’s opinion. Also, if you find that the Skoal portion size is too large and you’re worried about it hanging down so it’s noticeable, just fold the corner when you put it in and it will stay out of sight. I know it sounds easy, but nobody told me this kind of stuff early on. One last thing, the juice isn’t a rally big deal on any snus/dip. Even dip will produce only a tiny bit of juice if you place it in your upper lip. I have been using in my upper lip like snus for a while now, and it stays put, doesn’t drip, and less little bits go cruising around. The Skoal Xtra pouches are awesome for work too. I sat through a one hour meeting this morning with one in and there was no way that anyone could have known about it. Oral tobacco is entirely awesome, and quite possibly the most discrete forms if used wisely imho.

Just ordered some General Dry Mint and some Thunder Frosted from SnusCentral, pretty stoked. Wonder how long it’ll take to ship from Sweden to Mongolia though.

I’m going to buy a ton of snus this year and a freezer to store it. My oral fixation is getting out of control! :smiley:

thanks for all the advice the real fake argument doesn’t bother me btw:) in a little bit ill try some Swedish I just placed a large snuff order. I’ll give the small a try though thanks dogwalla

glad cause they are fake. Swedish snus is far superior in everyway. Even their flavors while milder work better with the type of tobaccos used.

Part of my package arrived today! 6 cans (Thunder, Phantom & Nordstrom) 10 more to still on the road… Since I made the order 9 days, not a world record but enough for me.

Ordered some stuff with the northerner on the 2ed of dec on the 3ed and the 5 th and one will ship tomorrow so I will keep everyone updated as to when they arrive I hope soon because my cheeks and lip have been empty a while now and I don’t like it lol

I just placed an order with snusline.com and I’m in the uk will let one and all know when it arrives or any problems I have ! Prob nothing as bad as the northerner who if I’m honest are hard work at best won’t slate them just yet as still waiting for delivery but have a feeling that it may be a while before I see a package from them

i use snusline without trouble.

i use snusline without trouble.

Cool how long did it take to arrive and are you in the uk ?

im uk, i can only use snusline and northerner… its usually around a week, from the point of ordering for me, though some can take a little longer. it will probably arrive marked as religious goods haha. used to for me.

Yes got a few northerner orders on the way as we speak and I ordered from snusline about 2 hours ago and hoped that it gets here before my northerner because my stash is very low now lol
