    A great moment for snus in my town

    Went into a local smoke shop today to buy some new pipe tobacco. They also sell general (I buy from them most of the time), and I saw a guy walk in and buy a whole roll of General Mint. The guy at the register then told me "that stuff is flying off the shelves". Good to know that swedish snus is alive and well in America

    That's an awesome sign.. I need to stop by my local tobacco shop and ask them how it's moving. Last time I was there I told the clerk (a cope user) about extra sterk snus and how he should look into it. He said reg strength was too weak.

        It wasn't Boda Pipes was it? If so, I sent him samples on Friday and will follow up with him this week If it wasn't, get me the contact info and I'll call and see if he's interested in our lineup.

          Very good to hear. I meant to go to my local Tinderbox and pick up some Jaks this weekend, just didn't get around to it.

            That is very cool! Nothing I hate more than to go into a tobacco shop and hear, "Camel is the only snus, there are no others"

              When you go in there, ask for Charles McLain..he's the manager and a super nice dude. Tell him I said, "hey".

                Haha it was Boda, Rick. I asked if he had gotten anything in yet (It wasnt the owner), but none yet as you sent the package Friday. Ill definitely head in again this week and tell them how much money I would spend on the other varieties. Since sales are going so well with General things are looking up!

                  on the list it's the San Pedro location, didn't catch the guy's name. As you can see they have a few shops in San Antonio. If you could convince them to carry thunder n jak's let me know I'll buy a few cans to support the cause

                    Cool, can't say the same at the local liquor store their snus is a little old like two months past the best before date. The cigar shop is selling it ok I think.

                        The cigar shop where I buy General is now selling Jak's and Thunder thanks to Rick.

                        I'm loving Jak's Strong Mint.

                          Thanks buddy. Now that I've gotten most of the licensing and compliance for all the states out of the way, I have more freedom to sell all day long. Keep them coming guys/gals, and we can help educate the nation's tobacconist about what real snus is

                            Definetely let me know what they say... I'm down to two jak's wintergreen so a local shop that would carry it would be awesome. I was going to order jak's through VIP but my timing sucks lol.

                              love dealing with Boda, good group of folks working there. i would buy all of my stuff there if they carried it! would love to see grov svart and onyx there, and maybe a few of the SM los varieties.
