I wouldn't even know what to do with that amount of snus
At the moment I have about 6 cans of lös and 10 cans of portions (60/40 split between regular and stark) in my fridge.
I think its the fact that I am able to get my snus that much quicker that's kept me from hoarding - ordered 8 cans overnight shipping from Northerner yesterday and it is being delivered today.
That doesn't mean I don't envy you guys.......
You gotta remember too, snus may be expensive for you, but you can pretty much get what you want, when you want it. For us Americans, that's no longer a certainty. Pretty soon we'll be looking at a General only selection, and I just don't dig General that much.
I'm only hoarding about 6 cans right now because I cant use the freezer for storage, Because I still live with my parents and they don't know about snus and I don't plan on telling them!
But im asking for a mini fridge for Christmas :P

That's right. Well, I like General okay, but still, I'd miss my Taboca and Ettan and Grov and Röda Lackett and occasional Knox or Scruff, Kronan or Gustavus, Gotlands, LD ... and on and on.

Yeah it does suck that you guys might be forced into using one snus exclusively, but as much as feel for you I think my sympathy is somewhat muted by the fact that you guys pay $60 for two rolls of Gotlands lös while we have to pay $142. :twisted:
Also, General is not that bad. I've actually come to really enjoy the lös and OP over the last year - to the point that it is close to making the top five.
In fact if I had to choose between General or nothing the choice would be simple (though I'd miss Gotlands incredibly)
Ps: Thanks for recommending the Granit lös. Probably the only "budget" snus other than Knox that I intend to order more regularly. Might even have to put aside my dislike of V2 and order some of the Phantom Brown that you've been recommending....
the way things are going, 400 cans of snus may not be a bad idea to have stockpiled... i'm staring forlornly at 3 portions left, fortunately, i've got half a dozen cans coming tomorrow...
Since I'm new and just discovering my tastes, I don't yet have a huge stockpile..
I have about 12 open tins? of assorted portions in the fridge that are open, and I sample a few each day to get the "feel / taste" of the nuances in each.
Another 6 in the freezer, when those run low, and I should have my favorites figured out.
It might take you more then that to find your regular. I'm still trying new cans that I could see ordering more of. Granit is an example. There's just so many flavors to try.
As I noted in the "Pictures of your stash" thread, my inventory is pretty minimal/scarce atm as being just a couple months into this I am still developing my tastes enough to know what to 'bulk up' on as in more than 1 can at a time.
With that said, at present I have about a dozen cans un-opened in the fridge and about 3 with me that I'm working on daily. Oh and a can of #02 in the freezer with about 12 portions left that I just got tired of and wanted to try and moisten up a bit so dripped some water in it before freezing. Note: This is just a test as I've never moistened/Frozen any snus before although in the past I've done it with some dried up Copenhagen snuff and seemed to help revive it upon thaw.
I do have an aprox $38 order on deck at TheNorthener just waiting to pull the trigger on of once again a mixed variety of snus not available at GetSnus or Clubsnus.
i have 17 cans in the freezer, about 10 in the fridge. some are my girlfriends, and 2 cans only have like 1 or 2 portions left. ive been pretty good about not having a ton of opens anymore, now that ive tried a majority of brands. still so many left though...
