Goteborgs Rape Head Phones

I got these things in the mail the. Gave them a whirl today, and they actually sound pretty awesome.

Also, the cord is really long — about 6 feet — which can be handy. The one downside is that they don’t say right and left on the ears, so you might accidentally listen to your music [...]


Why GetSnus Was Sold

I’m not Mr. GetSnus, so I don’t know the real reason. But here’s what logic tells us:
Remember, GetSnus was owned by Cigar International, whose primary business is selling cigars, not snus. PACT makes dealing with snus a pain in the ass. Cigars will still be easy breezy. Since snus probably didn’t even account for 1% [...]


More FDA-Mandated Snus Warnings

We’ll probably be seeing more and more of this bullshit as we approach June 22. Just a few days ago, we saw it on the Camel Snus ads.
Now its on the Swedish Match product chart.
Before:

Now:

That’s a big-ass warning… and we thought that those little warnings were stupid. If the government wants to lie to us, [...]


Claq Qui

Review: So, I’m finally trying out Roda Lacket Claq Qui. As I just love regular Roda Lacket, I’ve been really excited about trying this. But the fates have been conspiring against me for a while. Let me explain. When I ordered this tin a few weeks back, GetSnus accidentally sent me regular Roda Lacket instead. [...]


Free Snus

Ran across something kinda cool today. General is giving out free sample snus over at their website. All you have to do is type in you date of birth on the first page, then click free samples on the top right bar. Click “get started”, and then enter all your info. When Francisco tried, they [...]


Roda Lacket

This is a snus that I’ve used off an on for a few years, and it’s one of my favorites. It’s an interesting snus because its main flavor is similar to a dried red apple, yet it is not too sweet and the tobacco flavor isn’t hidden. It’s not particularly salty until I press my [...]


Snusopoly

Snusopoly… That’s my suggested name for the venture between Philip Morris and Swedish Match… Kidding. This news is a few months old, but it took me longer than some to catch on… I got word from the most recent issue of European Cigar Cult Journal — the best cigar magazine in the world. Here’s [...]


Nick & Johnny East

Review: Another snus that Swedish Match got me on with their free sample packs, Nick & Johnny East has a unique flavor that’s unlike any snus out there. It’s main flavor is Cardamom, but there are hints of other spices and a very slight sweetness. A tobacco flavor is also in there, and the cardemom [...]


Onico

Review: A little while ago the fine people at Swedish Match tossed in a free tin of Onico, a tobacco free snus, in my order. Around that time, they had been sending me snus so strong that as soon as it touched my lip my stomach started hurting. I quickly learned that General Strong was [...]


Ettan White Portion

Review: Ettan is the first snus I ever bought for myself. I was on a ship in the Baltic Sea, traveling from Tallin, Estonia to Rostock, Germany. I had won several thousand Estonian Kroon playing poker in a casino in Tallin the night before I was scheduled to leave. Being the prudent and frugal man [...]
