Kardus Superior Blend 2009

[captncaveman]

I bought it before, and will buy a can/box this year as well, just because its a limited snus..

So even you, who even says it's not worth $66, but will still buy it again.


I rest my case. :wink:

LOL i like that fact that i am 1 in 1000 or so that had the honor of getting f in the a.

I know I probably shouldn't, but I will probably buy some. I will make this a yearly thing, in honor of quitting smoking. I will look at it as a yearly reward for finding snus. If anything, I will use the "block of wood" as a snuff box that sits at my desk with my favorite go-to nasal snuff.

That's pretty much how I justify it. It does last in the fridge really well. So if you just use it on special occasions it seems like a lot more than 100g. Mine lasted about 6 months. Bakerbarber still has some 2008!

It IS a reward, that's a great way to look at it.

so i had expected to buy kardus around december, but if theyre doing preorders now, and if every site only gets about 40 cans, im actually worried it might sell out. even the fact that it didnt sell out the last 2 years doesnt sway me, as snus seems to have really blown up this year. im wondering if a more financially comfortable and trustworthy snuson member could preorder it for me and let me make like 20 or 30 dollar payments (whichever theyd be more comfortable with), and send it to me once ive paid it off. im just worried (probably unnecessarily) that it will sell out. hmm. i dont know. if anyone would be willing to do this, pm me.

I like the finer things in life but rum flavored... Rum does not agree with me so I'm curious as to how the snus actually taste.

[Owens187]

No matter how good the snus more than likely is, nor how bad I really want to try it(I really do), I just can't see dropping almost 70 dollars on 100g of snus. I can get a couple rolls for that! :roll:

What makes Kardus 2009 so special?

Kardus 2009 is almost here. Alot of people are wondering, should I pay 50-60 bucks for a can of snus? What makes Kardus 2009 unique? Why is it a snus like no other? Well, Kardus 2009 is truly a labor of love. Alot goes into this snus to yield some truly amazing results. This year - only 500 cans were made. Alot of attention goes into every single can that is released to ensure Kardus has a quality that lives up to the name that this yearly release is known for.



The 2009 Kardus Superior Blend contains Argentinean (from Salta, at the foot of the Andes), and Guatemalan tobacco. In the Nueva Concepcion and La Maquina area (in the southwestern part of Guatemala), a special tobacco that is air-cured in barns build from eucalyptus trees was found that has chocolate, nut and fruity notes was found and chosen to be a companion to the Argentinean tobacco.



What makes Kardus so special? Well, the techniques. Everyday snus is ground, and the tobacco is crushed, for most snus. Much like a chef knows that garlic will taste different if it is sliced or crushed, the makers of Kardus know the cutting method will yield a better tobacco. The entire tobacco leaf - including the stalk, is used in production. In Kardus, however, only the actual tobacco leave itself is used in production. The tobacco leaves are cut, rather than ground. This has a large effect on the taste. This provides are more mild and complex aroma. Kardus uses the long cut method, which produces something similiar to pipe tobacco. After being cut, the tobacco is "sweated" and salt is added, and then the next step.



Kardus 2009 is flavored with a dark Guatemalen dark rum that was stored 23 years in oak barrrels. This rum is regarded by most as the finest in the world, it has a deep, pure flavor, much like a Cognac - but having hints of hazelnut and nutmeg. When this snus is stored, these aromas mix with those of the tobacco blend, and mature to a tropical, Caribbean aroma.

Kardus 2009 is now available for preorder. If you missed out last year, or are new to snus this year, Kardus 2009 is a snus like no other. A " a Very exclusive snus for the true aficionado."

Information is from a Swedish Match press release.

Maybe Getsnus will be a little cheaper and I can figure out where to get the money.
