      You can't just place an order?
      You can, from either Getsnus or Northerner now, $0.99 a package. But Tom doesn't sell directly, he is just sending samples to get the word out. And he knows Discreet is SO good, 95% of the folks who try it will buy more

      Once you try it and love it, if you know any local tobacco shops, please ask them to carry it too.

        Tobacco people seem to be top notch in general. From merchants to makers, every one I've dealt with has given great service that goes beyond what you typically find these days :^)

          What a very cool thing to do! I've tried the Camels, and I admit to being a little bit prejudiced against American Snus, in part because of past comments here, and in part because those Camel pouches do not begin to compare with the Swedish brands.

          But it would be great to discover some good US brands to support, and I really like to have decent minis for certain types of social situations.

            Asquar, Discreet is as far from anything else done as possible. Everything else dictated by stupid corporate decisions. Discreet is a labor of love by one man.

            Discreet is the first American snus that is both unafraid to try some new things, but conscious about where snus comes from. It IS American, in the best sense. And Tom's first attempts at a true "Swedish" style is some of the best snus I have ever tasted. If he makes it in full size, it would compete with anything Sweden has ever made.

            It is just a different beast then the rest. All I ask, beg even, is try it for yourself. You don't like it, fair enough. But you don't try it, you are just a fool. :wink:

              The thing I like most about Discreet is yes, it's sweet, yes some of it is fruity, but it fills a niche in the snus market that only need be filled by one quality company, and Discreet is doing it perfectly.

                Agreed with Sage, Discreet is something totally incredible

                  The Swedes utterly fail, for the most part, in doing Sweet right. Camel went too far the other way. Discreet hits it so perfectly, it's like magic in your mouth.

                  I didn't even know I needed what I was missing until I tried Discreet. Now, I could never go without it. 7 months ago, I added snuff to my routine, so then had two tobaccos I loved, snus and snuff. Now I have three, snus, Snuff, and Discreet. Each is perfect for what it does, but I need all three to be completely happy and satisfied. Discreet is different, yes. But so utterly wonderful just for what it is.

                      This is really good to know, thanks! This is exactly the kind of product I try to support. (I have as little to do with the corporate oligarchy as I possibly can.) I will be getting some of this ASAP.

                        Thank you.

                        And Tom really does rock. Got a rather mysterious e-mail from him today, I think he is conspiring to make sure I don't run out of Discreet during my "troubles". No, he is as far from the "corporate oligarchy" as possible.

                        And his snus is just super yummy. But judge it for what it is. Unlike anything Swedish (other than his still in test mode Swedish style, which hits the Swedish mark perfectly). But the rest is very different, but all just unbelievably good.

All 3 have earned my tremendous respect. I would mention Patrick @ v2 but I have no personal experience. In any case, all 4 of these guys kick ass and we would do well to show appreciation by our ongoing support of their products. Hats off to you gentlemen.
                          Don't forget Joakim and Markus from Swedish Match.

                            Tom is the man. He sent me some more of the original flavors when I told hm that I didn't receive the others. Only problem with Discreet is that to me all others pale in taste. With the great price, I think I will do as you guys are suggesting and use them to flavor up the tobacco only flavored Swedish snus.

                              Tom sent me some samples a while back, and sent a few emails this week to make sure I had received them, and when I emailed him earlier today and told him I hadn't, he personally called me today to see if I had received them, talked a little about some of the new products, and said he would personally be sending them out tommorow to make sure I got them.

                              You can't get service like that anywhere. American Smokeless is 5 stars in my book. Tom O'Connell is doing it right. Not just with the product, but with the service.

                                Preach it brother Chad, preach it. If more companies were like Tom's, our country would be a lot better shape.
