Want Coffee & Brandy Alexander snus?

[chadizzy1]

Just loose, and I think Patrick said the Coffee would be in portions (standard 8mg).

Just Loose for Brandy Alexander! Even better news... All snus IMHO taste better in the Loose version... I like even more now

I too was expecting something more significant, but then again, what other kind of "big snus news" is there? Swedish Match renames a Nick & Johnny flavor? Julesnus comes back for the holidays, again? Buy 10 tins, pay for 7 deal on some retail website? :-P

Talk about disappointing! I thought you were going to say that the price of snus was coming down a dollar or two a can.

Brandy Alexander was OK, a bit on the bland side. Definitely not as good as some of the others from that year's line (Chocolate Raspberry and Mandarine come to mind). IIRC, the Brandy Alexander took forever to sell out and was still in stock long after the other flavors were gone, so I doubt that there's enough interest to bring it back. But then again, V2 made a special run of Coffee Vanilla, so anything's possible.

down $2 USD a can? that sounds unrealistic. Especially considering that would mean the snus I buy would cost around $7 hkd a tin (1 USD) because I pay about $25 HKD per tin ($3 USD). Even a dollar cheaper, although more realistic, wouldn't really make too much of a difference, 15$ HK and 25$ isn't too different for me to go WOW. To me, current snus pricing helps keep my usage balanced. But I've never tried any Nordstrømmen! Therefore I'm really excited! Plus I'm a fan of Brandy Alexander's, it would be interesting to see how good this snus really is!

haha so true, not much snus news at the moment, although if there were like an organic type of Nick & Johnny similar to General Green Harvest they should definitely name it Nicholas & Johnathon just to make it sound more wholesome.

The US Supreme Court rules that FDA control over tobacco is illegal. Ah, I can only dream...

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. It does kind of suck that General is over 5.00 a can in my area while I can get Skoal or Cope (or even *shudder* Camel/Marlboro Psuedosnus) for half the price. Heck, the store up the street from me is running Red Seal for 1.39 a can right now.

I'm just not sure that SM's strategy of deliberately marking up the price of General in the US is going to pay off in the long run, especially in today's economy. So if you can purchase good quality snus locally for $3 a can, consider yourself extremely lucky.

If by locally you mean online then yes I am very lucky

Red Seal? Ugh even the name sounds gross...but I guess dip is cheaper to manufacture so 1.39 isn't surprising. I think the cheapest smokeless tobacco I can buy is probably Phantom Classic Løs for like $20 HKD ($2.40 USD) and even though many dislike Phantom and say it's cheap I personally adore the flavour!
