    Banned State Box Pass

    Spitballing some ideas about maybe doing this. Who would be interested in starting it up and gathering names and getting it going? This would be open to all those in states who can't receive from manufacturers, but can receive P2P trades.

    I have some Jax Ice Fruit I could contribute. I never participated in a box pass, do you just contribute when it comes your way or do you send to a central location to add to the pot?

      Sounds to me like you'd have to send to a central location since this would only be for those in the banned states.

        Yeah, since this would be primarily to benefit those in those states who can't get snus except by trade, this would get a selection together for them so they can try some things out. I've got a lot to start with - it'll probably be a flat rate box as is.

          Well I'm in. Always willing to help my snuson brothers and sisters. I await further details.

              I'm in to help get it started. I don't have much variety but I will gladly send a roll out to the cause.

                  which states totally ban snus?
                  Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                  I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                    Already replied to amdusias but will post here, i'm in. Not totally sure how these things work but will certainly take part. PP i think banned states are IA, MA and SD but don't quote me.

                        Yeah, we use the UTR ..................... the Underground Tobacco Railway

                        Don't the idiot politicos understand they're not the only ones who try to
                        circumvent their stupid laws. Up theirs!!

                          Surely the snus users in the banned states have friends or relatives in other states that can help them out. All they need to do is explain the situation. Its not that big of a deal. Just place larger orders so you only have to bother the person maybe twice a year. Might cost you a little more for shipping but at least you can still get your fix. Problem solved.


                          @ snusgetter. The UTR?? sounds like a female problem to me.

                            Same here, it's not impossible, we can get swedish snus legally in Iowa but only a limited selection of General. There are other ways too but most times i don't have the funds to order enough from overseas to make it cost effective.

                            UTR ... i like the sound of that. Maybe it should be called the OSF, Over-the-ocean Snus Flights

                              The problem in Myassachusetts is that USPS is not allowed by
                              federal statutes to deliver tobacco products .... UPS is not
                              allowed by MA law to deliver tobacco products.

                              That's why some of us have found ways around that ... thus, UTR,
                              the Underground Tobacco Railway, which is actually like dealing
                              with PMS (Piss and Moan Syndrome) but not as threatening.

                              OSFs require dealing with an extra bureaucratic layer ... Customs ...
                              that I prefer to avoid at all costs. Having worked for one of the world's
                              largest bureaucracies, USPS, and knowing firsthand how ****ed-up any
                              bureaucracy can get, I'll use any delivery method that remains stateside.
                              My sanity requires it.
