Hi. I'm new to the forums. In the ever-so-slightly modified parlance of many a breathlessly thankful newcomer to talk radio, long-time lurker, first time poster. Now, to business...
Just yesterday, I received my second snus order, consisting entirely in original portions of varying types, from SnusCentral. It was held up for several days by the FDA and it would appear that some combination of this delay and the already-summery weather in my part of the world turned my triumph to stiff, crusty tragedy. Since summer seems here to stay and since, even if this order can be re-hydrated, it will not last me the entire summer, I had wondered about pursuing a new solution, perhaps just for the duration of the summer or, depending upon what I find, perhaps permanently.
Although roughly fifty-percent of my experiences importing snus have been bad, all of my experiences of buying locally have been good; I have yet to open a can of General that was not thoroughly moist (indeed, most have been delightfully sodden). Yet, as most of you will agree, having access to only one flavor of snus is hardly ideal. The General store locator informs me, however, that, about an hour from where I live, there are two "3-Star retailers" who are said, in addition to having greater snus expertise, to have more available flavors. Despite thorough inquiry into the topic, however, I have yet to find, on the entire vast expanse of the information superhighway, a single meaningful suggestion of what those flavors might be. Therefore, I put the questions to you: What may I expect to find there? Do they sell loose? Do they sell other Swedish Match brands? Do they sell strong or extra strong? Do they sell any of those weird berry flavors? etc.
I would very much hate to commit myself to such a trip only to find that their expanded selection consists in some strange new portion shape or that the training whereby they attain their greater expertise consists in having enough snus customers to know where the 'fridge is without my needing to point.
You have my thanks in advance for any help you can give, and my apologies in advance if asking questions without giving a proper introduction on the thread designated for that purpose is presumptuous. I am unaccustomed to forums and their etiquette.
