Won a Snus Auction

I’m hesitant to tell you about this since the more people who go back to snus auction, the more expensive it will get (again). Back when it was launched, snus fanatics were paying top dollar for General swag. In past weeks, it’s calmed down significantly. For example, I got another General beanie for $4.

I got another one because A) It’s awesome and B) I put a lot of miles on the first one this Winter. FYI, the coldest Winter I’ve been through was this past one. Imagine that… Austin, frickin Texas, has the coldest winters of anywhere I’ve ever lived…

That’s all beside the point.

While it took just under three weeks to get it, they also included — for free — the new coffee cup, which is my second, too. However, I forgot about the first one because Mrs. Snus put it in the dishwasher. I usually don’t complain when she does the dishes — and I’m not now — but in this case there was a small problem. The dishwasher messed up the General logo.

As you can see, the one on the left got beat up in the washer. No biggie, unless your keeping it around as a collectors item or something.

These things are now available pretty much everywhere.

Finally, over at snusauction, I have my eye on this beauty:

It’s a fricking General door mat… awesome.
