    If the price of snus at getsnus goes up, I will find other methods. Might have to go back to smoking and order cigs out of country.
    The price will go up, but it won't be so bad for you since you're in Ohio.
    How much are we talking?

    I won't pay more than $35 a roll.

    I can get a carton of Luckies for $25ish + shipping.

      That's Kentucky, right?

      :^P
      I'm pretty sure that's right lx. Right on the border with Tenn

        Ohio's 17% of wholesale price, and add $1.51 per pound federal tax to that.

          Comes out to just under $35 a roll, assuming that roll would cost $28.

          That fact sheet pisses me off. 50% of the price of cigs here is taxes. I need to start importing cigs and sell them well under state prices.

            Don't you feel proud that the great state of Ohio depends so heavily on you for support? Without you, Ohio would fall to pieces :^P

              Seriously. I don't smoke anymore, well at least not right now (on and off for the past year with snus). Which reminds me, I've been snusing for a year now.

              One thing is for sure, if/when I go back to smoking, I certainly won't be buying them instate.

                Your not kidding about the on and off thing Kvlt - every now and then I just get a HUGE craving for a smoke and snus just doesn't cut it. The nice thing is that I will go right back to snus after having a few smokes. Before snus, I would have just said screw it and continued smoking.

                    I wanted to officially thank you for your input on all of this Roderick. It's kind of reassuring, though I'm not 100% convinced :^D I won't feel completely comfortable until I see the system work under full duress :^)

                      I live in Alabama so fortunately we are a VERY Republican state that loves it's chewing tobacco and dip so the taxes are laughable. I figured around 7 to 9 cents a can for me. So PACT won't kill me but I seriously feel for some of you guys. I still hate you all for hoarding and running getsnus out of two brands I was REALLY wanting to try right now - Roda Lackett and Goat Rape.

                        Yesterday, I ordered from Northerner. It was like every other order. Today i go on there, and every item looks like it's being shipped from the Swedish warehouse. Even stuff like General.
                        Northerner hasn't pulled out have they?

                          Probably more like they ran out of snus at the U.S. warehouse and are waiting to restock it. My guess is that with PACT and the 60 Minutes piece they have been very busy.

                            Same here, gotta love the 6% wholesale tax in Tennessee--even though my prices will increase slightly, it's not like it's going to break the bank or anything for me. Good thing I ordered a few cans just before PACT landed last week--hopefully once all the pre-PACT panic settles down I can make another order to get me through the rest of the summer.

                              Hmm, I wonder how much the tax is going to be ...

                              The whole reason that I quit smoking is because of the price, O I hope I will still save money, along with being able to get General Mini Mint, General Wintergreen and Catch Eucalyptus! The whole UPS thing is going to suck I think though... I might have to stock up now while I can!

                              Does anyone know how much the tax is going to be?
