I sometimes hate telling you about cool contests going on because it decreases my chances of winning. Today I feel generous. Go make friends with Frank on Facebook. He’s going to give a roll of snus per week to one of his friends. Right now, he has just shy of 200, so your odds over [...]
General Smooth White is kind of a surprise. Looks like the case was a hit with Catch White Medium Mint. It’s drier than your average General White (just 40% water) and it’s a little smaller with less nicotine (7mg/portion). Looks cool. Comes out March 1.
Man, Swedish Match already told me this, but then they gave me too much beer, so I totally forgot. The Kardus 2010 is Javanese tobacco and arrack. Javanese means from the island of Java in Indonesia. Arrack is South Asian rum. I have no idea what it really tastes like, since I don’t get out [...]
My wife told me today that her Swedish Match sales rep said that the company is going to be releasing another snus for U.S. brick and mortars next summer. Actually, when she told me she said, “In the summer.” I was quite excited for a few seconds until I realized that the summer is pretty [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Been awhile folks. As I’m sure you’re aware, PACT joined us this past week. While the tax part is annoying, I understand it. Your government wants your money, it can get it however it wants to, more or less. It the USPS ban that so fucking stupid congress and the president should be sent to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
