Hi from Belgium

[BenVD]

Hello everyone,

My name is Ben, and I'm from Belgium (well, Flanders). A year ago I did an internship in Norway where I got acquainted with the wonderful world of snus. I still remember my first portion; Montecristo. Held it in for way too long and had a pretty bad headache. I've never been a smoker since I hate the taste, but the first time I tried snus, I was in love.

When I got back from Norway I brought two rolls of Nick & Johnny and one roll of General White along with me, and it saw me through the next half year. Now I've been without snus for a couple months, so I placed my first order of snus online -- should arrive in a couple of days. Only four cans: Nick & Johnny (1 strong and 1 white), Roda Lacket (still broken up over the loss of Claq Qui) and Skruf Stark.

25 EUR (35 USD)... I preferred Norwegian prices! Still, madly looking forward to it.

Anyway, just saying hi!

Verwelkoming to SnusOn Ben.

3 rolls (30 cans), 6 months (26 weeks), sounds reasonable for a non-smoker, I like your choices.

There is an online petition you might be interested in Link -> Europeans For Snus , tell Brussels what you think, if you think it will do any good.

Glad to have you here.

Nice to see the issue is at least not totally unfamiliar to Americans! Interesting article, as well.

Welcome to SnusOn Ben!

That was an interesting article Justin. French, can't live with them, can't kill them :^D

Welcome!

Welcome to SnusOn Ben. I love your beer. I worship St. Bernardus brewery and many others. Their new Christmas brew is off the hook, and I normally don't like Christmas beers. Just wanted to say so. Again, welcome aboard, you will find some very interesting characters, a little snus talk, and a lot of US politics on here. Enjoy the ride.

I personally find the history and politics of Belgium to be extremely interesting. I just won't say so. If you notice, I don't really sound off a lot on the political talk...

Hi Ben. Welcome to SnusOn!

I remember my first snus as well. General White.

I still can't believe I put down the smokes.

[BenVD]

Thanks all, again. The order arrived this morning!

@Roo: our beer is fantastic, isn't it? I'm a Westmalle Tripel guy, myself.
@Frosted: great quote! I'll have to remember that.
