    Received my first order today.

    Well I ordered from Northener on Feb 2nd. Finally got the order today (Feb 21). Just got a few tins to try it out. Anyway, the strange thing was I was worried that it got nailed by customs and I was gonna get gouged by Canada Customs, didn't happen. What did happen was that the package was opened and inside the envelope, my tins of snus were inside a Canada Post bag. On the bag was a letter apologizing for opening my mail. Anyone ever have that happen???

    So far I have tried General and Jacobssons strong. Both seemed pretty good. I have Lucky Strike Original, Bold, and Nites, and Thunder Frosted, all portions. Seems kike a good change from cigarettes, which I quit about two weeks ago, and dip tobacco.

    I'm about 5 orders deep with The Northerner and I live in the states. I haven't had this issue and welcome to the forum! I joined recently when I quit smoking with snus too.

      Looks like someone might have gotten your package accidentally
      (misdelivered) and was kind enough to send it on to you.

      Considering the good goodies you received, I'd say you were lucky.


      And WELCOME!!

              I thought that at first. However the plastic bag looked like an evidence bag. Weird as it is I'm counting my blessings Since my first post I gave the Luck Strike Nites a go. I have to say very tasty stuff, packed a hell of a punch too. Hell, I already placed another order with buysnus just to try a few more out.

                  "Evidence Bag" ... hmmm ... the RCMP are alive & kickin'!!!

                  It should be interesting what happens with your second order...

                    Will do. I tried Lucky Strike original this morning. Sort of bland compared to Lucky Strike Nites, but good and mellow. I have two more to try from this order: Lucky Strike Bold, and Thunder Frosted ES. I have to say I'm loving the experience thus far.

                      I do like the LS BOLD but no luck yet on trying the Nites
                      (I understand Nites have a cooling effect that is not mint).

                        Well I got the other part of the Northener order, sent from the US warehouse. I ordered a roll of Copenhagen Long Cut Straight and a pouch Of Levi Garret Plug. I placed this order the same day as the snus order and just got it today (Feb. 24). It was opened by customs and to my amazement I only paid $14.67 duty. I can only hope my future orders are so lucky. The only problem now is that I think my preference is for the snus...

                        I tried all of them and if I had to rank them in order:

                        6.Thunder Frosted ES Portion.
                        5. Lucky Strike Original Portion.
                        4. Lucky Strike Bold Portion.
                        3. General Original Portion.
                        2. Lucky Strike Nites.
                        1. Jakobsonn's Classic Strong Portion.

                        Now i'm not saying any one of these is bad. As there are lot more I have to try. However, The Jakobsonn's surprised me as I didn't even consider it, and if it wasn't for the 2 can promotion, I never would have. Of course my opinion of each snus could change at the drop of a hat. I ordered more pretty much the day I got it. Hopefully it doesn't take as long to cross the pond this time.
