          Maybe we can do a trade. I still have some of last years. I'd have to do a quality check, but it should still be good.

              Sure... I've gotta go to bed now, but I'll do a quality check tomorrow and get back in the evening. If it's still good you've got a deal :^)

                i'm still trying to work that out. the first pris i made i did with an icetool by stabbing, but i noticed it was compressing the snus too much, the ones after that i tried packing with fingers, and that didn't go very well, so i lined an empty snus can with wax paper, and gradually filled my icetool by getting the snus from there, so it wouldn't compress all the snus, just what i was using. i was worried too much compression would mess with the flavor profile, or squeeze the juice out of the snus.

                  i like my prises pretty compressed, so i just jammed it in there. still tastes fantastic, and about at a quarter till the hour mark its comes apart quite a bit in a flavor explosion. at an hour and a half or so i cant keep it together.

                    Got mine yesterday. WOW, this is good snus! I made a small pris of it, and the nic. just crept up on me. The flavor and grind are fantastic! The whole package is nice as well. My number was 187. It was totally worth the price. I think this will be a new tradition for me every year.

                      :x You guys are killing me. I just can't see me dropping $55 this early in my snus career on such a small amount in comparison to all the brands & flavors I still need to sample. I take it this comes out yearly? If so, by next time this year maybe I can justify it better.

                        Tell me about it. I really wish I could order some but if I do this year, it would have to be in December but I figure it'll all be gone by then. Looks like I need to start a Snus Christmas Club at my credit union to be able to order it next year to order all the Christmas snus flavors.

                          I weighed the option as well. 55 is a lot to spend on 1 can of snus. But it really is about 3 cans worth. And 55 dollars is what, a carton and a half of smokes these days. That's how I justified it to myself and the wife.

                            Handbaking is the way to go with this snus.

                              I handbaked mine, it was a little rough, but it stayed together really well. It just molded on, and the flavors just poured out.

                                I've only been sussing for about 4 weeks now, but I bought the Kardus as I wanted to know what the BEST Snus in the world was.....plus I like nice things in life if I can afford them - and right now I have to settle for good snus and good beer instead of supermodels, 100 year old whisky and lambourghinis. Besides - cigs here in the UK are about $10 a pack.....so I've saved money over my month's snussing and thought I should treat myself as a reward for quitting smoking.

                                I've only had one pris of it so far. It was excellent! I immediately vac packed the tub to keep it perfect. I'm keeping it for Christmas as it's so good!
