DrSnus on a Plane

A few days ago, I wrote about how to fly. Here’s the result:

That’s me. From Austin to Chicago, I slept. And on the way back, I slept. A couple weeks ago, from Austin to Salt Lake, I slept. To Twin Falls, Zzzzz. To Sacramento, Zzzzz. And back to Austin. Yep, I look like a nerd. [...]


New Mini Tins

I was thinking “so what?” when I heard the mini tins got smaller. I don’t use mini snus, and the difference seemed minor. Well, I was wrong. The new tins are actually much smaller, but most photos don’t seem to convey just how little and adorable these bastards are. So I’ve take several photos of [...]


Federal Smokeless Warnings

Good post over at Tobacco Truth. The upshot is that three out of the four federally mandated warnings on smokeless tobacco are bullshit. Yes, we knew that. But Dr. Rodu sums it up here very nicely.


4,380

Imagine a pile of 4,380 potions of snus. By my rough estimates, that’s my use in a year… 182.5 tins worth.
I could easily be off by 25%. No one has ever accused me of having OCD. I don’t collect hordes of used tins, and I don’t keep detailed records.
Google says that 4,380 grams is 9.7 [...]


Snusers Guide to Air Travel

Back before I started this blog, I used to fly to Los Angeles every month for work. Other than turning me into a douchebag, I also picked up some moderate traveling acumen. This past week I took a little trip out through Idaho, Nevada and California, and I’ve been thinking about what is absolutely necessary [...]


Oral Risks

Not shocking to anyone paying attention, but oral sex is more dangerous than tobacco. More risk tolerant individuals probably go down with a portion or two in their face… and chase it with a double shot of tequilla.


Austin Anti-Snus

Last week, a gaggle of anti-smokeless tobacco lunatics descended on Austin for a conference. I didn’t try to hang out with them, although I did poke a little fun at them on my twitter feed.
Today, I ran across a write up that’s not too horrible on drugfree.org. Even though the author of the article didn’t [...]


Euro Snusers Shat On

As of right now, Euro snusers can’t get snus from Sweden. I don’t know what the story is. Seems like no one does, and I’m not going to hypothesize. Instead, I’ll say that if it stays that way, the EU should be dissolved for being a bunch of fucktards. If not, I have no public [...]


My Wife’s Snusing Habits Scare Me

This morning, Mrs. Snus had a flight to some shitty town in New England. She said she was out of snus. I panicked.
Her favorite right now is probably Northerner Boost. Then she’s into a wide variety of minty flavors, including minis from Catch, Fellini, and the other purified one, Citrus Menthol, I think.
There’s none left. [...]


Waco and Back Again

Yesterday, my friend and I drove to Waco  to visit the Dr. Pepper museum. It’s worth a stop if you ever happen to be driving by, but it’s not really worth traveling any distance to (like I did). The museum had neat old cans. Some old swag. Old machines.
After trying the nasty hot Dr Pepper [...]
