    Bought some General at a gas station convenience store today!

    In my Thanksgiving travels, I had to make a restroom stop at a gas station off of the interstate. I had read that some stores in this chain in my area were selling General, but I had yet to see it at any I ever went in. I didn't have high hopes, but I looked to see if they had it, and lo and behold there was a General fridge, chock full. I bought several cans, both to show my support of them selling it and because my stash was low anyway, so it saved me a trip to the tobacco shop I usually buy from. The clerk asked me how it tasted and said he had never sold any before. So exciting to see Swedish snus in a place like that in the U.S.!

    A tobacco store near my office sells it and even though I prefer to order online, I try to stop in and buy a can because I want to support it.

      You have lived my dream! I would love to be able to get a can of snus and fill my tank. Besides, almost everyone here buys their tobacco at gas stations. You can tell this easily whenever you walk into a tobacco store here because it is empty. The tobacco stores around here are expensive.

          If I'm not in atlanta working I make the 2 hour trip solely to buy snus. Rolls of general mint and loose. Its a long drive but cost affective.

            I live in Northeast Nebraska, and from my internet searches and stopping at gas stations, it appears that all KUM & GO (insert alternate name here) gas stations are carrying General. They have OP, WP, Los, Wintergreen, Mini Mint, and Mint.
            Manager said they have a year contract to carry the product and see where it goes from there.
            General isn't my fave, but it's nice to pick up a can or 2 a week rather than making it worth while and placing a large order online.

              Hmm...

              I live in NW Arkansas and have yet to see General at any of the Kum & Go stations in the area. Wondering if it's just a regional thing or a slow roll out...

                  Better yet, I dropped off an empty can at my locally owned, non-franchise gas station a couple weeks ago and asked if he could get it. I stopped in this morning for coffee and he informed me that his tobacco supplier has it, and he had ordered a couple of rolls for the store. They will be in by the end of the week.
                  SWEET!!!! I live in a town of 6500 people, and I will have snus at a gas station 1/2 block from my house by the end of the week.

                    Just picked up a "trial Pack" of ten portions in the coffin tin at my local shell in Northern IL for $1.99. I bought the classic blend and it is good. They had the mint one as well. Nice miniature fridge was probably 3-4 tins wide and 6 long have no Idea how deep. I was kinda amazed and in a hurry to get home as the bears were about to start. I'm in that place multiple times a week and no all the guys that work the register. I will chat them up more about it and sales @ a later date. Oh and it's pretty good stuff. Pretty sure it is a long white portion.

                      Oh and if you do happen to pick this stuff up make sure to check the catch lid as I found a $1.00 off coupon in mine. That means $.99 on my for my next tin. That'll be like pre-pact pricing.

                          I was not surprised we lost...... It's been a mess since Cutty went down. But I am not a fair weathered person. So I will stick with them till cutty does come back and we woop the league next season..... all i have to say is summed up in this next video.....
