Time for some bright spark to produce a Swedish style makla (legal in the EU)

must be a way round it, buy the tobacco and do it yourself i guess

GN has no Extreme portion on his website to order so I absoloutely had to put in an order with Northerner, which I did on Sunday.
I had a look to see if it was shipped and it's still pending - ODD! So I came on here and saw this!!!!!
If Northerner don't send this to me I'll be spitting feathers - BIG TIME!!!

WHAT THE F*** IS GOING WITH A BIT OF TOBACCO FFS??????????????????????????????????????????????


I'm going to have to personally mail GN.

She's been e-mailed too - I've thanked her for killing me.

As one on this side of the pond........... the point that grabbed my attention from Susify's post was this

What they fail to mention in their paper is that the Snus ban is most likely going to be lifted at the end of the year.

A lift on the EU ban could give a lot of momentum here in the US for excluding snus from things like PACT.

I am sure they will still want their taxes and all............but it might become easier to obtain and less expensive to ship.

It certainly won't hurt the cause

Snusify..........can you elaborate a bit on why you think the ban will be lifted......................... for those of us here in the states who maybe don't follow it as closely as our EU brethren

[Frosted]

A lift on the EU ban is speculative until it actually happens. Until then I'm screwed.

I don't know whether or not to wait for GN's reply, order from Northerner U.S or give up. I've got a week off coming up so I can suffer withdrawal then.

[Frosted]

What is more......when I try to order from the U.S warehouse, it's in Euros, with tobacco tax and sent Swedish Post.

[Snusdog]

Hang in there bro............I don't know what is going on.....but I hope it will all be sorted out for you guys ASAP

Sounds to me like the shops got the EU directive before the public did and are once again having to reinvent their entire processing procedure

[Fazer]

I hope all the EU guys see this thread soon, the 7th is not far away

They should all move to Russia, that would sort it!!

Maybe a coincidence but I heard Asda are being trained on a new protocol for selling tobacco. Apparently it will have to be in locked non-see-through cabinets and all they can present customers with is a price list. Then when the customer has chosen the staff have to get the tobacco for the customer in a careful manner so as not to expose children to the sight of the tobacco products uneccessarily. Apparently large penalties will be levied for non-adherance. The Tobacco Nazis and their big pharama NRT chums are doing real well here.
