I just ordered a few tins from Mrsnuff, but I’m also looking to try a tin of Grov white portions, and Mrsnuff doesn’t stock that particular brand. Every website I’ve looked at charges almost $30 for shipping, and Northerner.com doesn’t ship to the state that I live in. Any suggestions?
as far as I can tell that’s about what you’re dealing with as all of the snus sellers use Ups as a courier and that is just what they charge. Before pact you could either pay much less and wait about a week to get your stuff or pay for what is the only option now. Yeah it kind of sucks but if you order enough snus the shipping doesn’t go up much.
Snus is gettin hard to find online, I’m lucky to live near the swedish border where I can get just about all swedish snuses. If you want to, we could always do a trade. If you’re interested, feel free to drop me a line along with the snus-types you wanna try.
I gave up on snus, i still love it but it’s not cheap anymore. If you are going to snus, snuscentral is kinda the king as of recent. But know that prices are only going up and the 10+5 sales are replaced with 10+2 sales. And swedish match owns fucking everything these days…and they suck
Thanks for the feedback! Turns out that my local tobacconist stocks General (Swedish Match, but at least it’s not the American garbage), so I was able to pick up a few tins of original portion yesterday. Still waiting for the Siberia from Mrsnuff with eagerness.
i use snuscentral too but 30 bucks is normal. since shipping is so expensive you have to order a lot to make it worth it (i get around 30 cans at a time). in case you didn’t already know, you can vacuum seal them and store them in your freezer and they will last for years without any change in flavor
@peacock that’s really the only issue is the scale price because of shipping. If you order thirty it’s an amazing deal per tin. Or one tin and it’s like 30 some bucks for a can of snus.
^^ yeah when i order, i try to order enough to put it at around 5-6 dollars U.S. per can. also, once you cough up the initial 30 bucks, the shipping cost doesn’t seem to get much more expensive after that.
30 cans is a lot of snus though! that might be too much for someone just starting out. i don’t use them very often so i only have to put in an order once or twice a year. on the plus side, if you’re like me, you’ll want to try as many flavors as you can and you can try a whole bunch of them in your first order
Here in Australia,we get slugged $AU1100 per kilogram,if customs get hold of your package and they do,more often than not. Think yourselves lucky!
Try to get into or start a group buy for snus if you’re looking to cut the shipping. I’m currently in a split which is comprised of 6 people, 50 cans, and the Sweden to USA leg of the shipping is currently around $7.50 per person, then another 7.25 to get the snus from the person orchestrating it to the split participants. Maybe you can get some friends that also would like to try snuses without paying out the nose for shipping together and get it done.
@spinyeel did you ever try tax free snus or snus line? Those were my goto for getting past canadian customs
Fortunately, after a few weeks, I’ve fallen in love with Siberia–which means I’ll keep ordering from Dave as long as he stocks it. It’s light, fluffy, sits comfortably in the lip, and has almost no back-drip. As long as I’ve got some food in my stomach, the 45 mg of nicotine is not too intense. It certainly satisfies the urge.
Just thought since it has been a while since this thread has been updated, I would appreciate some feedback about different snus sellers. So far, I have been doing business with snuscentral, and my experience with them has been good, but they do not always have certain products that I want in stock. Knowing which of them are legit and have good customer service, etc, would be very helpful to me. Thanks! By the way, I am in Minnesota, USA.
@Mr_O Found this snus store while looking for apparently discontinued Kapten Los: https://snusme.com/
Haven’t used their services, though (they don’t ship to the EU). Some nice prices there - 50 g tin of Islay Whisky loose for USD 2.69, can’t believe my eyes… Both loose Skrufs and Smalands Brukssnuss los there as well.
@Mr_O You might try snusline.com - I have used them in the past. They ship to the UK well enough, and claim to ship worldwide, so USA should be OK provided you can pay in Euros…
Unfortunately, snusline.com doesn’t ship to the USA. It’s not in their drop-down list.
Thanks for the input guys!
Snus express is another one, they use the same warehouse as snuscentral so have the same brands but will offer different sales and have a loyalty program for additional discounts
Thanks! I might just try any place that is legit and all.
What about buysnus.com, Anybody tried them?
@mr_o I am shopping from there occasionally. I live in the uk so was able to buy only chew bags and nicotine pouches, but in terms of service and freshness of the products I was very happy.
@Dyson_nose cool. Thanks for the info! I might have to try them.
http://www.snubie.com/Snus.html has some loose I have not seen for sale elsewhere, need to order through email though.
@rodalacket https://snuffhouse.com/discussion/12062/snus-biz-ukrainian-snus
I was treated with generous samples of Blood Orange & Goji Berry, Original and Usquebaugh by a fellow member here and really enjoyed them all. Snus.biz snus is made in Ukraine.
@volunge wow, 37 different flavors. Going to email asking for a full list.
Mind you, snus.biz snus is coarser and moister than one could expect. Still, definitely worth trying. If costs were more reasonable (I mean both snus price and shipping fee), I would be their regular customer. It’s true artisan snus, made with passion.
To be honest, the guy who treated me wasn’t too fond of snus.biz products. He found them excessively moist and lacking the taste of tobacco. I second the part about moisture - you’ll need to cleanse your fingers after baking a prilla. But I would not call them lacking the taste. Bakes easily with fingers and keeps in the lip for long.
Just don’t expect the familiar Swedish Match texture there. The grind (cut) will surprise you.
Hi there @volunge , I think the guy who sent you the samples will send you again as soon as he find some spare time…
Thanks for the input everyone! Sounds good!
Hi @tobaccobob, good to see you around, my friend! I’m compiling a parcel for you, too.
Is it possible to buy Snus in the UK? Tobacco free nicotine pouches are easy to buy but because of the EU regulations on tobacco Snus do any suppliers sell tobacco Snus to customers in the UK?
Yes, quite a few online stores ship snus to EU-based buyers (UK including).
taxfreesnus.com - free shipping, carries only one loose brand
snusline.com - free shipping for even single can, but delivery can take longer than you would expect
odenssnus.eu - straight from manufacturer, pricey shipping
nordiclip.com - you need to sign up and log in to get access to their snus assortment; pricey shipping
snuskompagniet.com - claims “no worries about customs”; pricey shipping
northerner.com - carries Malmo Cardus, single cut loose snus, labeled as chewing tobacco
snus.biz - coarsely cut tasty artisanal snus from Ukraine; pricey; ordering by email only, expect awful wait (up to 40+ days)
Order on your own risk! Not sure about the UK, but customs in other EU countries may reject / destroy your parcel, tax or even fine you.
You can safely order tobacco chew(-ing) bags from the UK-based sellers. They are pricey, but I assume you can expect fast inland shipping. I haven’t tried these products myself, so cannot shed any light on their similarity or difference to proper snus. Some say they only differ in cut (tobacco for snus is ground, but for the chew bags it’s cut or shredded); composition and manufacturing process is probably the same.

@volunge wow thank you for such a comprehensive and informative response I am really grateful to you!
It seems strange that Snus is banned in the EU but chew bags are not. I can’t see the logic in that. It’s either dangerous to orally take tobacco or it’s not!
Snus wasnt banned because its dangerous to humans, snus was banned because its dangerous to the multibillion dollar cigarette industry.
Have you checked out Snusdaddy? Buy Swedish snus and nicotine pouches, order snus online - Snusdaddy.com and Buy Swedish snus and nicotine pouches, order snus online - Snusdaddy.eu
Let me know what you think

@Snusmaestro looks like a good site, decided to get a few things, the problem is that when I went to check out it said it I couldn’t get delivery for the tobacco products since I was in a EU country (I’m not any more, in th UK) but when I went to the other site it states I am outside the EU?
@Beerandsnuff That’s right. Even though the UK is no longer in the EU, the ban on snus with tobacco continues to apply. I know there are some websites that send snus to the UK but we don’t. Have you tried nicotine pouches? Personally, I have gone from snus 100% regular snus to using 80% nicopods. I can give you some recommendations if you like.
@Snusmaestro, not a fan I’m afraid, just looking for snus, but thanks anyway.
