    Should i get ready for whats to come

    i was just thinking to my self i have no snus reserve what so ever. I will start building on it as soon as possible. my question is how much is good to have in reserve?

    i'm planning on making a decent order soon of like maybe $100. and and another $100 order 15 days later to have just incase. would a big order have trouble getting to NYC with no problems?

    Aso f right now, there is NO issues. Generally, the belief has been keep it under $200 and you will have no problems with US customs. I have done orders of $199.50 with no problems.

    But I understand your desire to build a reserve. as I posted earlier, I too once ran out and it is still my most traumatic experience with snus. the following 6 months, I kept building and building until I had about 90 snus in my freezer. I needed that comfort to prove to myself I would never be out again.


    Eventually, I worked on depleting that reserve. More so, just to slowly burn off the stuff I really didn't like. My tastes have shifted again over time. Ironically, i have less snus in my freezer today than any time since i ran out. But have 3 separate orders coming my way, about $170 in snus in total. and expect to be overbuyiing a bit at least until I can get to 50 or 60 snus again in my freezer.


    but recent issues relating to the law have NO impact yet, so order away with no fear.

        Ive got close to a year's supply that I am rotating out of the freezer based on when it was bought. Am I crazy and over-reacting? Probably.

          That's exactly what I was trying to do. Back when I had more money too. :lol:

            these are sad times, however "stocking" up won't do you any justice. Eventually you will run out. Lets see what happens, although I have a feeling we're going to get ****ed.

              I refuse to get ****ed. I will grow and make my own and am already working on doing exactly that. My tobacco usage will no longer be ANY of the government's business.

                Screw it. I'm digging a big goddamn hole in my backyard. I know where I can get an old school bus on the cheap. I'm gonna bury that some bitch and turn it into a snus repository. I plan to hook industrial refrigeration units to it and keep it at a steady 37degrees.

                If I get enough interest I might pimp it out as a Ice Hotel in winter.

                I figure I can cram a couch, a tv, a case of beer, and a shit load of snus it that thing and hunker down til they come get me.

                      Are we talking about snus becoming unavailable? It will be a sad day if this happens, but I'd think the companies that have an investment in snus should be keeping up with what's going on, and if something was going to happen, we'd know a date in advance. It does seem greatfully, that General has made an effort to secure themselves in the US, and are at some local outlets. Their website says my Liquor Barn has it, which is better than not, but I bet it's over priced. If we do get an impending date, I am sure we will have time to stock up, and then buy it overpriced at stores, well, maybe General at least. But it's a sad day for the US if this happens, it will really solidify my conspiracy ideas. Of course we could live without, but we shouldn't have to, we are adults, this is said to be a "free" country(right), and this will only mean more people losing their jobs, and more people returning to smokes.

                        I think if pending legislation makes it illegal to ship tobacco, it'll just go underground. Nothing'll change, except snus won't be the open, transparent industry it is now. I think it'll become like betel nuts. They're illegal to import to the U.S, but I can still have paan (a betel product) shipped to my door fresh from India. It won't really surprise me if it does go through. The US government has a long history of banning relatively harmless things.

                          And that's exactly what the government wants. Most of those guys are in cahoots with Phillip Morris and RJ Reynolds (helped write the FDA bill, some of which I'm cool with). They want to push out as much foreign tobacco as they can under guise of being health conscious. It's why they're going to boot Djarum cloves since they're "flavored" but keep menthols, which are more likely to kill you and more likely to hook you to boot.
                          If the government was so damn concerned with our health, they'd make most meats and fast food illegal, ban dairy products, and punish you for buying chocolate (heart disease number 1 killer in America, NOT mud mouth or gum boo boos).
                          Really though, it's none of their business. I say regulate the industry, don't go telling me what I can and can't do to my body though.
