Praise the Lord! Snus comes to Western PA!!!

It's here:

Smoke Stack Everything Tobacco
7305 University Boulevard
Coraopolis, PA 15108
412-375-7627

They carry General, Thunder and Jakobsson's products and are willing to order just about anything you want! Everything is $3.99 a tin plus tax.

They also have something I've never seen before... professional cigarette making machines for rent on site! You provide your own tobacco, herb, papers and filters (or purchase from them); load up the machine, then sit back, have a cold one and watch TV while the machines make your smokes. Don't know how much they charge for this, but there were a hell of alot of people there using the damn machines.

I was surprised when they told me that snus sales have been somewhat brisk... they have one of those General mini coolers and I purchased the last three tins of Jak's that they had.

Have they had Odens in that store before or in that time?

They NEED some Odens

Don't know... I'm well stocked with Oden's so I didn't ask. There was no Odens in the cooler. All they had left were 2 Thunder Originals, 1 Thunder Frosted, 2 or three regular General portions and that was it. The girl that was behind the register told me that when people come in they usually purchase 3 to 4 tins at a time. I was shocked to see the cooler almost empty. Most people don't know what snus is... they think it is like American Chew or Cope.

Just tell the store owner to start charging $8 for a can of General like they do here and his stock will last quite a bit longer.

Tell him to order Oden's Extreme from Phillips & King and he'll do it ;-) Glad you can get it locally now.

Rick! Odens! Seattle tobacco patch locations! Phone numbers are in Seattleite's sig if you click the link. I know you have them anyway. Thanks brother! There's a happy ending in it for you

Bro, I want EVERY retailer to carry our entire line from the moment that they decide to carry them. However, it doesn't work like that. They always and I mean always ask for the best sellers, OR they ask for the brand that their CUSTOMERS (you) ask for. If you guys want your local retailer to carry another brand that we offer, please, please please....let them know. They'll be far more likely to carry them if you're asking for them than if I call them and say "hey, I've got a couple guys in your area that wanted me to call you and have you carry their favorite brand". Sometimes, they don't believe me, because most of these retailers get hundreds of calls from guys wanting them to carry a brand that they guarantee will sell.

If you let them know you're going to buy it, they'll automatically order it from our distributor ;-) Does this make sense?

Sounds good to me Rick, makes perfect sense thanks. The guy at the store closest to me doesn't do the purchasing, so I'll just start calling the main store every now and again and asking for it. Thanks!
