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 [...]


This Would Make the New Catch Even Cooler…

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 [...]


Camel Snus Study Contract

There’s a study on Camel Snus going on in Austin, Texas. A while back, I called and told them I used Camel Snus to get some info. I considered going to it, until I got this document. I would have had to save my used Camel Snus portions — and my pee — and given [...]


Is the New Catch the Best Snus Ever Made?

I have no clue. I haven’t had any.
I did get this image and a solicitation from buysnus today. Catch Ease is coming out. Seems strangely early. I thought we were doing one every four months. Catch Glow came out in May. Should put this another month away. No matter.
Another question is if this snus will [...]


The Summer of Snus

… was probably last year. There’s not a lot going on this summer, so I’ll even follow up on a new Camel rumor.
Last week, I heard over at snuscentral that Camel Winterchill and Camel Robust were being released any day. On Saturday I stopped by a gas station near my house that carries Camel to [...]


Snus, Health and the Real Dr. Snus

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 [...]


Snus News and Law Update

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 [...]


Snuspocalypse?

The FDA tobacco control act goes into effect today. There’s been plenty of speculation and interpretation as to what it means for us. Now that’s here, I’m just going to sit back and watch the snus shops and the manufacturers and see what they do. The real danger isn’t what’s upon us in the next [...]


New Snus: Nick and Johnny White

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.


Snus Tour: Factories and Snus Making

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 [...]
