This looks like a great store, but unfortunately they do not ship to the lovely state of CT. I really hope they can start shipping to more states and increase their stock. They would be the first US distributor/reseller that I have been able to find and capture a lot of business.

    I am tired of buying from the EU and having to jump through hoops to get my packages delivered. I just ordered on Wed. 10/30, and the package was in the US and out for delivery on Friday. The only problem is it was at 2PM when i'm not home, like most hard working Americans. I have a real problem with paying $40 shipping, then being asked to pay another $40 yearly to UPS for their "my choice" bull, and another $5 to schedule a delivery that is reasonable. The other alternative is to drive 30 miles out of my way to pick up the package myself. This is nothing against the vendor, whom I will not name (not Northerner), as they have been wonderful in changing the delivery address to a UPS store so I can actually get my package.
    I get the upgraded delivery service and have my packages by about 9 am ..... UPS guarantees by 10:30, it cost about $ 1.50(?) more. This may be an option for you.

      Much appreciated, Rick! Oden's is my favorite, so I would definitely like that. I haven't had the chance to try Phantom or Jakobsson's yet, and was hoping to get my hands on some there.

        Unfortunately no. I leave for work around 5:30 and usually don't get home until 4ish.

        Rick:

        I'm up in the boonies in Stafford, but I work in Bloomfield. The most convenient place for me is:
        Have A Cigar
        435 Hartford Turnpike, Vernon, CT ‎

        I've never actually shopped there, but I think they only deal with cigars. I really don't have a preference as to where I go at the moment. No one around here stocks snus that I have found. A few gas stations have General, but I have watched 3 of them carry it for 3 months and then it disappears because it doesn't sell. I stocked up when they had the $1/can promotion but that ended and it is now $6+/can which prompted me to order online again. I can tolerate general mint/wintergreen but I don't like the classic. I prefer their Onyx, but fat chance of the local gas station carrying that. My go-to at the moment is Jakobssons Strong Mint portion, but i'm open to trying something else if I can get it locally for a reasonable price.

                You're right, they are very nice people and have been easy for me to work with. Buy from them and support their decision to carry new brands :-)

                    I received a phone call from Lil Brown today, couldn't believe when Yakima came up on my phone. The nice sales guy was offering a $ 25 discount on orders of $ 150 or more. I'm well stocked for a while, but pitched him on lower nic products for the future.

                        I hope so too, but at the moment and with their current variety, there is only one flavor I buy........something going on after the 1st of the year with SM may change things??
