Just got back from Dallas where I bought a few grand worth of cigars off a dude who’s moving his shop. While away from my post here at drsnus.com, a few interesting things came to light.
While in Sweden a few months back, the Swedish Match guys told us about the General Long that they were [...]
Apparently there’s a new catch. It’s called Pure Mint and it’s supposedly a lot like the fresh peppermint from the rotating Catch Chameleon and a long portion similar to 01/02. I’m just going to link Chad’s and Larry’s posts on it. I don’t know any more than they do about it.
While the tin is cool [...]
PACT and FDA has made snus blogging a little depressing lately. It seems stupid to make a hummus snus experiment or review some snus we can’t get anymore right now. I also think I’ve kind of blown my wad on how dumb most of these new laws are.
Let’s go back to an old topic that [...]
Been awhile folks.
As I’m sure you’re aware, PACT joined us this past week. While the tax part is annoying, I understand it. Your government wants your money, it can get it however it wants to, more or less.
It the USPS ban that so fucking stupid congress and the president should be sent to clown school. [...]
Several things going on that I want to mention. Northerner is updated and FDA compliant. As well, they’re only shipping with UPS, ahead of the PACT Act requirement. Right now, shipping 50 tins (portions) from Northerner costs about $14. Not horrible. Shipping 10 tins is about $13. Yikes.
Northerner has said that the new tax collection [...]
This part of the series on my trip to Gothenburg is about the presentations Swedish Match gave. There were 4 that I haven’t yet discussed, all quite interesting.
The first was done by Connie Andersson who is the tobacco and flavor guy. I just googled him and his title says “Product Specialist” on linkdin, so there [...]
Swedish Match just announced that they’re changing N&J Black to N&J White. The difference? The bag and tin. It should be available in early July.
Last week I told you about this, but I didn’t have a picture. Instead I did an artistic recreation:
That’s pretty close, if you ask me.
As it turned out, forgetting my camera wasn’t too big of a deal as far as snus pics go. When our factory tour leader — a woman who stood no more than 5′ tall — showed up, she told us we couldn’t take any pictures inside the place. Quite frankly, the way she bossed us [...]
They’re pretty cool. Check ‘em out over at original pursuit. I could steal the images so you don’t have to enter a birthday, but not today. Far too lazy. This is already about three sentences more than I intended to write.
The lids are all going like 01/02. Perhaps it’s a fraction of a penny cheaper, [...]
Today we’re seeing two new snus on the horizon. First, there’s Jakobsson’s Wintergreen.
This is the newest snus offering from Gotlandssnus, a high quality though low-key snus maker. This, however, is somewhat interesting. These portions are slightly bigger than your average pouch. Here are the mathematics…
Typical Snus Tin = 24 grams
J’s WG Tin = 24 grams
Typical [...]
