Big Snus News, Big Snus Deal

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 going to be releasing. Well, more news came in today. The regular strength will be around the week of Sept 20th, and the strong will be here around the week of November 1st. (You can pretty much bet that online shops will ship well before those dates.)

Quite exciting. It’s like General Original and 01 made sweet, sweet love and made a baby. Then General turned around and did the same thing with 02. I bet they’ll be very delicious babies, indeed, but I’m going hold off speculating further for now…

Here are images and the technical mumbo jumbo:

This release perfectly coincides with a special over at Northerner, which Chad writes about here. Basically it’s free shipping and a contest to win a shitload of snus (some minimums apply).

I’ve been balking at making any orders for awhile. Taxes, higher shipping costs and an endless supply of General White from my bar make it tough to pull the trigger on an online order that’s about 50% more expensive these days. This makes it a good time to finally do it. I’m down to about 12 tins of Roda, anyway, and the wife is plumb out of that wonky purified snus she loves so…
