      Why won't they sell it in the US?

        Branding rights, RJR owns US distribution of Lucky Strike products, BAT owns worldwide distribution. Same reason Swedish Camel snus cannot be sold to the US.

          It's too bad that they're being like that too. Now, I'm not a big fan of the JTI Camel as I think it's too salty, but the LS was truly a delicious snus.

          The toasty tobacco it had in it was rather unique taste IMO and like Grov I preferred the White portions. The OPs simply had too much flavor for a regular snus for me. I dug the cans too. The metal can was nice and it came with a vacuum seal so I think it would last quite a long time. At first I questioned the quality of the tobacco because it wasn't that much more expensive yet the packaging clearly cost much more than the plastic cans.

          I never got to try the Bold and admittedly never tried LS los. There is also LS Nites which I would not be interested in even smelling as they are minty type things. Do you have any friends in Europe? You might be able to offer them some US stuff in exchange, it just can't be sold here.

            I might start getting some orders of this stuff into the US eventually, Maybe I'll put a couple up on the trade thread.

                They aren't minty. It's like a regular white(?) portion with a peculiar cooling effect. It's pretty subtle, but noticeable. They're my least favorite Lucky, but it's worth a try just to try it. My favorite was the lös. The grind was kind kind of irritating(coarse and medium blend), and it's a stark, but the flavor's pretty cool, and the embossed can is very cool.

                    Hmmm...not minty you say? I'd give it a go then but the cooling effect scares me. I don't like it.

                    Don't wan to be singing

                    then I'll be willing to sacrifice this portion.
