Kardus 2009 – vintage snus for aficionados

Each year since 2005 has Swedish Match produced a very exclusive snus for the real connoisseur. Now it is time to present the 2009 years edition of Kardus Superior Blend. As in previous years Swedish Match has been looking around the world to find a tobacco that can satisfy even a picky connoisseur.

Kardus Superior Blends cut is called long cut, resulting in a structure similar to some pipe tobacco. The structure is different from usual snus and requires some extra care when you shape your pouch. The 2009 Kardus Superior Blend is flavored with rum. The choice fell on a dark rum from Guatemala, which were stored in 23 years on American oak barrels. This rum is considered by many as the finest rum in the world.

Very limited, hurry! 1 box contains 100 g snus = 1 can. We recommend you to choose UPS as shipping alternative to avoid damages to the box.

I rather carelessly just bought this from Northerner, paying a GT of 66.13 USD what with the free shipping and all. Logging in and then checking at BuySnus gives a total of 64.75. That's not using UPS, of course, but to qoute daruckis,

sure ups might handle it with care... or they might **** with it in customs. i always use swiss post.

Handle with care--eh, UPS scares me sometimes. Customs? Even worse. Plus there's the whole extra money thing.

Any thoughts on Swiss Post vs. Swedish Post? Who knows, I might have to order one from Buysnus, too, just to maximize my chances of getting one box in decent shape--okay, actually because I'm a greedy pig.

Just depends on how important the box is to you...

You're already spending $60 for 100grams of snus. What's an extra few dollars for UPS.

You could always wait until getsnus gets their allotment.

Well, unless something like this happens:

Still, just a few more dollars+a few more dollars, and I guess the odds of that happening are probably pretty low. I have to admit I'm way more interested in the snus than the box.

You could always wait until getsnus gets their allotment.

That sounds like good advice.

I got the same debate going on, looking at my cart on buysnus.
(Kardus + 4 cans of lös) $8.57 for Swedish Post vs. $35.60 for UPS

note to self $56.18 + $8.57 is still cheaper than Northerner's $66.13 with free shipping.

I think I'm going to hold out for getsnus to get their allotment.

FWIW the last Kardus I got I had sent by mail. It was double bagged, and it got to me fine. I don't know if I'll get any this year due to money problems, but if I do it'll be sent through the mail.

When my money situation finally sorts, I may just have to get this. Maybe this would b ethe snus that finally made me like los?? :wink:

Y'know, Sage, you might just get lucky with Kardus. It's sort of like a long cut pipe tobacco in consistency, so I'm guessing you could take a pinch and just pack it into your upper lip and it would stay for hours. No mudmouth, either. I'm going to get some for sure whenever GetSnus decides to. I'm still waiting for them to stock 01/02.

[Veganpunk]

You guys are such bad influences. I might have to order some if Getsnus gets it in.

So far, I have made three attempts to like los and failed. If this doesn't work, then I am done!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

For sage, and me, I think, I don't think it's the taste, or the cut, but just the los procedure of application that is the deterrent. I can only speak for myself of course. I like the taste and cut/grind of just about all the los I have had, but the reason I prefer portions is the simplicity and ease of their use. I'll still use los now and again, as I don't dislike it, I just prefer portions as they are easier for me. At work, and at home.

[daruckis]

well roomies rent is in. i think im gonna do it. looks like i now am picking between modern warfare 2 and left 4 dead 2. maybe christmas will be kind to me. games are kind of a bigger part of my life than snus. but 6 months down the line, those games will still be available. will kardus? i dont know...


edit: just checked bank account... forgot about the 52 dollar check to charter...

im a sad panda.

That would be terrible, because you couldn't buy anymore :P

[sagedil]

1. Chad my friend, I can get most anything if I am motivated enough. :wink:

2. I am just looking for something that finally makes me like los enough. Once there, other things would suffice

[chadizzy1]

And Goteborgs Prima Fint didn't do it? It's the most agreeable snus I've ever had.
