Hey Iowans! Found a chain that sells General

[vinnlandia]

I had been a loyal snuser since 2005 or 6 or so, and I moved to Iowa in June. Well, I got one big order in before the law took effect that made it so you can't have snus shipped into Iowa. I took up e-cigs instead because I can't stand american smokeless, and forget about camel snuscandy.

Well, I was in Cigarette Outlet today to pick up some ecig refills until my shipment of THAT comes in. Lo and behold, a General fridge. Original, White Original, Mint, Mini Mint, Wintergreen, and Original Los.

The store manager told me he thought they also had them at the stores in Davenport, Cedar Rapids, and I think he said Des Moines as well. I wasn't listening because I was busy cramming double portions of Wintergreen in my face. I am now crying tears of joy, and pain. It's pretty dang fresh too.

Just thought I'd share my find, as I was pretty amazed to see the fridge there.

A liquor store near me sells general, just found that out yesterday, they don't gauge people badly on price either.

Which store was it? I knew the DesMoines one was stocking General but haven't been in there for a while. Last time i was there they were all out and waiting on a delivery.

Just an update...

Tobacco Hut, in Des Moines, carries General. I just call him up, order a roll, and it's there in a few days for pick up.

Reasonable prices. $43 a roll after tax.

He has the General fridge, and sells the line, but I'm not sure what his normal level of stock is, since I just buy the rolls nowadays. I did ask if he has los, though, and he does.

There was a bit of of a learning curve for them, at first, and a stale tin or two at the very beginning, but they caught on quick. Good service.

Contact info:

Tobacco Hut
(515) 271-9619

Des Moines Iowa


I think he's open Mon-Sat until 1800hrs.

For those in Iowa, you might want to check the Cigarette Outlet nearest to you......my sources *wink, wink* tell me that in the next week they will be stocking Jak's Mint Strong, Classic Strong, Wintergreen Strong and Thunder Frosted. I'm certain that they have a store in Des Moines and Davenport....I've been in both stores recently.
