    Make Money, Influence American Snus

    Check it out...

    http://www.snuscentral.org/member-ar...mel-snus-.html

    I signed up for it. So far nothing too interesting, but maybe we can get RJR to produce a decent snus.

      I ain't jumpin thru hoops for $50. no thanks.

      Wait!! I'm way too old anyway.
      The upper age cutoff is 50 years. WTH do they think tobacco users don't live past 50??

      interesting tho.


      Its too little and too late for them to try to produce a decent american snus. Its been imbedded in my mind for too long that there is no such thing.
      Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





      I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

        I guess Ill do it. With this Pact crap, maybe we'll get some good American snus out of it....though highly doubtful. :?

        I doubt Id ever actually use their snus full time, but at least maybe they have finally realized what an inferior product they are making, and trying to call "snus".

        Don't fool yourselves, they DO lurk here, and on other websites, so maybe they finally got the hint.

            Ditto. They can kiss my ass...even for $500.

            Even if they ever put out a snus that tastes good, you will never know what the hell is in it. And even if they put out information about ingredients, TSNA, etc., I'll never trust them.

            Myself, I'll use scandinavian snus, or I won't snus...simple as that. The only exception would be if they ever put out an "american spirit" type snus, and that with much trepidation.

              So true


              @ Tex....yea, Triumph was good but it wasn't made in the USA.

                    lxskllr- thanks for the info., its always interesting to hear what shenanigans those durned tobacco companies are up to.

                    That being said, I don't really see this as being an opportunity to influence the epic shittyness of RJR snus as I am sure that their marketing analysts are looking for answers along the lines of "its alright, but I couldn't replace your awesome shit-stanking cigarettes with it."

                    I also can't imagine why it would take me ten months of surveys to tell them that their wintergreen snus tastes like big-foots ass and the robust tastes like a cherry flavored condom (unused, of course).

                      I don't think it'll make a difference either, but I'd like to try the snus if possible. I'm curious enough to want to try it, but not curious enough to spend money on it :^D If nothing else, I may be able to score some sweet tins. I'm a sucker for metal tins :^)

                        I tried to sign up for this shit and the damn thing wasted 20 minutes of my life and made me answer like 50 questions and go to the end where it said I was accepted or whatever and to not press reload, back, or forward and my F....ing browser has been spinning endlessly ever since for like 1/2 hour now. WTF did they just set this up to collect my friggen address or what?

                        I got the shaft.

                          I'm not interested in helping RJ Reynolds figure out what they already know. They cripple their own product with low levels of free nicotine. They are too afraid to risk losing their cigarette business to make real snus.

                            Eventually these swedes will get the point. Americans like a kick. We smoke Marlboro reds here in the states and therefore we need no less than the kick of thunder frosted grade nicotine.

                            Some need less, but general has already cornered that market. Weak levels of nicotine means I won't buy it. I agree with Justin, why help them with what they already know? Let them keep their $10 and use it to make a less sucky product.

                              I could care less about the $10.

                              #1) With all the shitty and stupid surveys and solicitors on my ass out there, I actually thought for once this one sounded interesting.

                              #2) If any of my input along the way could help them in making a less-shitty snus then hip hip horrah!

                              In the end -the morning after- my browser finally timed the F... out and I guess I won't be a participant after all.
