Northerner has shipped the Kardus 09. Saw it today

Yup, they shipped mine. Far out.

Dayum! How many did they have?

have you tried http://www.swedishsnus.com? That's run by Swedish Match, so I'm guessing that they probably have more available of the limited stock than they gave to any of the other resellers.

You are correct.

Also, BuySnus and Northerner should still have it in Stock. It may be a little more, but it's worth it I hear.

Getsnus is out of the Offroad limited edition as well. I was gonna order it from there, as they have the cheapest price. Oh well. I have plenty of X-mas snus coming.

I knew I shouldn't have bought ten cans from them. I am such a greedy pig. Sorry, everyone.

I deleted my post because I said all this.

Yup Northerner Shipped.

So apparently the Kardus is 100g (vs 24g for a tin of portions, or about 50g for a typical tin of los)....so does anyone know how it comes? Is it one tin of los about twice the size of a regular snus tin, or what?

I've had mine for a couple of days now and to be honest I'm a bit disappointed. You see I had a box of the Kardus 2008 and it was incredible - the 2009 version is much more subtle and although undoubtedly an incredibly high quality product - it doesn't do enough for me.

The 2008 was fruity like the best raisins and dates, it was rich and the combination with the alcohol made it taste like the best ever sticky Christmas pudding, only it was a snus. The 2009 is so pale in contrast to that - there's a very faint taste of apples in there and the tobacco comes through like the smell of a freshly opened packet of virginia cigarettes, which is fresh and nice like the smell of new mown hay, but not really enough to justify $50.

Maybe I just got (un)lucky with my first Kardus and it has spoilt me for future offerings.

Sorry if anyone reads this with some in the post and gets worried for their investment - I just hope it's only my personal take on it for your sakes. If it helps (as i haven't been on here in a while) I'm a fussy bastard :twisted:

Cheers

First off, it's good seein' ya squeezy :^)

That makes me feel a bit better about not getting it this year. Money's too tight to spend on that kind of snus this year, but I would have liked to keep the tradition I started :^D Oh well, maybe next year, eh? :^)

[squeezyjohn]

Hi lxskllr,

Nice to see someone on here I recognise! Nice new avatar, very classy! Sorry to hear about the money problems, probably no consolation to you to know that it's truly worldwide - anyway I remember your tastes and I don't think you've missed out here at all It makes prima fint seem almost rich.

Cheers

Squeezy, do make sure you come back and tell us if anything changes for you over the next week. I can never think what I know about any snus when I first try it. The more time I can play with it, the better.

But thank you for sharing the first impression. I share in lxskllr's situation, so am enjoying the Kardus vicariously.
