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 [...]
I’ve been for legalization of marijuana for as long as I can remember. I’ve used it a dozen times or so, but not often and not regularly. In the past, I’ve heard tobacco rights proponents put down pot. Often, it’s in amazement to the potential legalization in face of continuing tobacco restrictions. That’s a misguided [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
