    Premiumsnus is a Buysnus site. If it's significantly cheaper than Buysnus, it might be due to it being in Daneland. Maybe they skip some taxes that way.

      Whatever the reason is I hope it stays that way.

        Well, I know I said earlier I said I'm done with snus but we all know how that goes sometimes. Got a few rolls of GESP at Snuscentral, price was good but shipping was crazy. Anyway, somehow it's already here, and I ordered it late Tuesday night. Is this a new record?

          The lower the value on the graph, the more USD it takes to buy SEK. We could pick a point in the past to compare to today, but it seems arbitrary as this pair moves pretty good.

          I'll do it anyway... from two years ago (I'm eyeballing this) 8 to 6.5 is 19% drop (6.5/8) in the value of the dollar. However, if we make our time frame six months earlier or later, we get much more modest changes.

            Just to add insult to injury, the new partnership between Swedish Match and Speedway may not be going so well. I stopped by the Speedway I frequent this afternoon to pick up a couple cans of General Wintergreen...and, while they were initially carrying the entire General line, they have now stopped carrying General Lös and original portion. They're down to Whites, Mint and Wintergreen. The cashier working at the time, who I'm on pretty good speaking terms with, said that I am the only person she has ever seen purchase any of it at all.

            So, not necessarily great news for those of us who dream of a big snus fridge at the corner gas station...

              Yes, it seems that the EU is now getting some form of the 'Sweetheart Deal' that the U.S. was getting before PACT was enacted.

                As long as I can get it I will use it. (And afford it...)

                  I just did a price comparison between Premium Snus & The Northerner, I was shocked. At The Northerner I can get about 30-40 cans shipped for the same price as Premium Snus yet get 60 cans. How is this possible? I do notice one thing but won't mention it cause I don't wanna jinx it.

                    Northerner takes taxes up front. That can be a little, or a lot depending on what state you live in.

                      So when does Premium Snus apply tax?

                        They don't ... it's your responsibility as a good citizen to pay it.

                        Truth!!

                          Yes, you will need to remember to pay the federal tobacco tax when you do your next federal return. Now, you just need to call the state and ask for their paperwork that will allow you to pay their tax. After that, your good.

                              Thanks for reminding me. Don't forget to pay your sales tax for an online purchase.

                              Now your set!

                                I could have gotten another roll of good snus for what shipping cost. BUTT it isn't on the shelves at Wally World.
