I'm a little over two months into my snus habit. I wanted to sample the cornucopia of snus and thought it more prudent to order from a company with US distribution. As you all know, the only real option is Northerner / Getsnus. The customer service was mediocre, but the orders were fulfilled. I got off the smokes and found I that am totally diggin' the snus.
1st time snusing and having no point of reference, I assumed the snus I was getting from a warehouse in PA was just as delicious as the snus the good people of Sweden were enjoying.
All the drama that unfolded over the last several weeks inspired me to order from Sweden. I received my order in three days. I set a few cans aside and put the rest in the freezer. The first can I opened was Grov Svart. It was significantly moister than the can i got from the US warehouse... and it tasted better. I guess you could say it tasted fresher. The same goes for the other cans direct from Sweden. They all seem fresher, moister, and tastier.
I know it seems like a no brainer, and of course something shipping direct from the country of origin is going to be fresher, but could the taste difference be that significant?
Is it my imagination, or does the stuff direct from Sweden taste better?
* By no means is this post a Northerner bashing. They came correct and sent the merchandise that I paid for. I finally received my pending order 19 days after my CC was charged. No "Sorry for the inconvenience" note. No mystery can. Nuthin' but the snus I don't even need anymore (and no, I won't send it to any of YOU).
If the consensus is the same product direct from Sweden is better than the stuff in a US warehouse, than I'm done with domestic orders. I'm looking to be schooled.....
