    About time I said hello

    After lurking for many months I've decided to stop being impolite and introduce myself. My wife and I have been snusing for a few years now, starting back in the days when a UK-based snus fancier could easily obtain their SM snus of choice. Times are decidedly darker now under the yoke of EU lunacy. We were forced to switch from Generals to Skruf - a fine substitute for sure - but now even the Skruf seems a bridge too far. We are now haphazardly ordering various V2 iterations, searching for something to tide us over until sanity returns. Also we are getting into the Oden range which is great but it all still feels like we're having to "make do" instead of being permitted to enjoy our snus of choice. I'm even toying with the idea of flying to Stockholm to stock up. I have put in a small General order with Northerner but hold out little hope of seeing it before Christmas. Also ordering variously through Odens, snusline, and snus.de (who used to be our go-to guys for Skruf).

    When we could no longer get Skruf we decided to quit, but both being ex-smokers the lure of cigarettes began to feel like an inevitability. This forum has been great - providing both a sense of solidarity with other EU snusers and the ability to snus vicariously through our non-EU comrades as they sample delights like Green Harvest that I never got to try. So thank you, keep up the superb work, and I'll try not to be a stranger.

    I flew to Stockholm Arlanda airport a few weeks ago and was there for 2 hours... or maybe less by the time i checked out and in... it cost me £120 with Norweigan Air from Gatwick and i bought about 15 rolls of snus. It's worth doing if you can't get it any other way.

        When you factor in costs of the trip it works out about the same costs as snus.de with shipping... that's with not staying in a hotel of course.

          Great to hear. Definitely seems like a good option, although freezer space might be a problem when I get back

                    Thanks Snusdog, and for all the welcomes. It'll be great to have the exchange to fall back on in emergencies. Have already sounded out PP about potential future business. Quite enjoying the Oden's 69 White Dry at the moment. I get a pleasing overtone of fresh lemongrass when I pop it in which is great given my love of Thai food. I'm from Sydney originally, the city where you're never more than 100 yards from a Thai restaurant. Haven't enjoyed a white portion this much since the glory days when Goteborg's Rapé was a permanent fixture in the freezer...

                      Welcome Blue Ruin. Good to see another UK snuser.

                      I can relate to your Skruf or nothing thoughts. As discussed there are still ways to get it but it's not as easy these days unfortunately. Things might be looking up after the recent EU scandle though so keep the faith.

                        Does snusline actually work?

                        Their prices seemed to me too good to be true - taking into consideration their free shipping. I never dared to order through them thinking they were some sort of scam or another. Super cheap snus shop shipping free to EU from Israel... all the flags raised.

                          Welcome mate, I agree with you on all counts, esp on the Oden's 69, I love the stuff, i am so glad someone else can taste lemon grass and not just me! I think it has a strongish lemon grass scent too, I love the stuff!

                            Yup it does work, i did a test order of 1 can a few months ago, took a while but arrived and had a few since, shipping is a lot faster now.
