If you happen to use these antiquated devices, in a few short days you’ll probably say something like, “Oh shit, my calendar is broken.”
It’s not broken, it’s just the start of a new year.
A new year is such a glorious time. If you’re like me, you’ll tell really horrible jokes like, “I haven’t had a [...]

So I’ve just loaded up a pinch of Kardus 2011. It’s a little hard for me to control, being such an amateur loose snus user. While we wait to see what happens, I’ll plug my new book.

It’s called Drink Thin: Happier, Healthier, Richer, Thinner (And Better Sex) Through Alcohol, and you can get it at [...]

I’ve been snusing this Oden snus from time to time over the past couple weeks. This weekend, Larry came out with quite a thorough and thoughtful review. I have no such designs. Instead I want to mostly talk about the name.
I can only come up with a few possibilities of what the 69 stands for. [...]

These are two of the sleekest looking tins Swedish Match has put out in a while.

After this superficial quality, I’m pretty much over General Long. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good snus — it is. It’s just not for me. I’ve turned to the White side.
When I first reviewed General Original [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, while I was in Sweden as a guest of Swedish Match, I spent my free time chasing down non-Swedish Match snus that you can’t get in the USA.
One example: Lucky Strike White portions.

I used to get this stuff occasionally when I first quit smoking in 2007. I liked it back then [...]

The newest Catch, called glow, is flavored, they say, with elder and lime. I’m not familiar with elder. I know lime. First, the tin has more green in the color than I see on the pictures here. This is not the last time this little snus will try to trick you.
Review: Pop the tin open [...]

So, after GN Tobacco folka sent me this letter and claimed that my Doctorate of Snusology was printed at home (it was) on a dot matrix printer (again true), they must have seen my blog which said, “I haven’t had any snus made by these guys, and I probably won’t unless people start raving [...]

Well, looks like two posts in a row that I have to admit an error… This one stems from Northerner listing Jakobsson’s Wintergreen as a can of 24 grams. It isn’t. It’s actually 20 grams. It’s also 20 portions. So… 1 gram of tobacco per portion, 9 mg of nicotine per portion. This makes more [...]

Review: Thunder Frosted is a solid snus. Clearly, it’s quite popular. It’s too strong for me most of the time. Even when I fancy a strong snus, I don’t usually reach for these because the 16/mg of nicotine per portion is a little over the top.
Then there are the minis, which from my point of [...]

Review: Now I’m sure many of you have tried Offroad Frosted already. I’ve had mine lying around here for a while… It’s not bad, but I think it was done wrong.
Let’s say, I had a snus that was the second best-selling snus on northerner… Since it’s a strong snus, I suppose I would eventually reason [...]
