New to the site

[Lesli]

Hello I recently found this site. I like how active and friendly it seems.

I am a smoker, primarily not a snus user. I have tried it in the past during a visit with in laws staying in a nursing home. Found snus too similar to grasshopper spit, but it could be the American version I used.

I am starting to switch back to nasal snuff. Way healthier than cigarettes. I'm having trouble finding it in New Mexico. 8 years ago I could order English snuff in my local smoke shop, now the shops don't know what I am talking about.

This weekend I tried ordering online and had trouble with any method besides paypal, which isn't widely used in Europe.

Welcome, Lesli. Many of us here are former smokers. I use snus exclusively, and have never used nasal snuff, but I know that we have members here with a lot of knowledge on snuff sources and brands.

As I am waiting for my snuff order to arrive, is there an American brand of snus that is better than the 3 flavors of camel I previously tried?

Nope, American snus I've tried is awful. I get Swedish-made General locally (their website has a store finder), or I order from Sweden. Some big tobacco shops carry Swedish snus as well, but not usually a big selection.

Where are you at in New Mexico? If this map is up to date theres a few shops that sell Swedish snus,most likely General. The store finder shows a lot more.

Thanks. It'll be about 10 days before my snuff gets here, and I hate the thought of buying another carton of smoke at around $60. The chemicals the American tobacco companies add scare the stuffing out of me. I don't see how they get away with it.

Looking at the map the nearest shop is about 180 to 200 miles away.

Welcome Lesli.......not that you would take that drive, but I have had mixed results looking on the maps for snus vendors, mostly they have been shops that have quit selling snus in my area......

You might look for a Tinderbox store. One here in Columbus, Ohio sells Jakobsson's snus. It is great stuff. If they don't have it, maybe they would get it for you.

[Lesli]

Thanks I haven't heard of Jakopson's. I stumbled onto www.oldmillsnuff. com seems to be a small 1 man operation out of Tennessee. I sent an email for a price list and policies, I'll see what information I get back.

Old mill is a small batch artisan snuff (not snus) maker. It is owned and operated by Daniel (last name I would have to look up). They are a reputable maker of very good high end snuff. I have dealt with them so no worries there

But it is strictly his brand of nasal snuff .......no snus and no other brands of snuff
