Hi all!
First post on these forums. I've been reading them for a few days and think they're great. Gets me hype about snus!
A little about my snus experience so far:
My first taste of Snus was General White portion about 2 years ago when I use to work as a waiter in a high end steakhouse in NYC. There was a Barclay and Rex near by and I'd stopped in after a patron filled me in on "what his little tin" was one evening. I wanted to stop smoking, and hence bought a tin. I loved it! I snus'ed alot but never quite gave up the cigs. Eventually I quit the restaurant and with that snus as well. It somehow just slipped by without much thought.
Fast forward to about last week when I got the bug for snus again ever since seeing it at a local gas station. They had the "Original Blend" and "Nordic". I got the blend for nostalgia, and although I wasn't too keen on this new blend/portion for the US market, it got me started again.
I researched a bit for places to buy in NJ, as I no longer go to NYC for work.
Found a spot about 30 miles away from my house, and about 5 miles away from my families house. Promptly drove over on the motorcycle, and was greeted my a large (haha!) selection of 6 types. This was more then I had ever had in NYC which was limited to the General line. Had a great ride on the way back on the bike with some General Portion -- hence the name Snusbike!
I got:
1.)Odens Extra Sterk Los (By accident got the los, but no experience with los @ all here yet. Tried one pris and it didn't work out to well with staying in place.)
2.) 2 Cans of General Original Portion (My favorite snus so far)
3.) 01 Long Portion (Came home to find out this was expired since 9/8/2011
. Not sure whether to use or not?)
Otherwise I've had:
General Portion
General White Portion
General Wintergreen
General Mini Mint
And thats my story with snus pretty much! I'd say less than 20 tins of all Swedish Stuff altogether. I was going to place a larger order on buysnus.com but saw this forum first and thought it'd be great to join as from what I've read you guys have good discussion on here. Also looks like a great place to get some clarification on these new taxes and where the best place would be for deals, and just trying new snus with you guys!
Now also... Quick question to you guys.
I happen to have a close cousin who lives in Sweden.
Can this resource be harnessed in anyway to make procuring the stuff here in the US any easier/cheaper than through online means?
Glad to be a part of the forums here!
