Thanks for the bumps LaZeR and Mike! People are sleeping on this one.
Well, I just got back from my buddy's house; he just got back from Afghanistan, I picked him up at the airport last night. We were drinking bourbon and some extra-hoppy Pac Northwest beer, and I had an interesting snus experience. I pulled out my Skruf ES portion tin to load one in and he said "wtf is that?" So I said, "you know, it's this Swedish Snus I've used to quit smoking, you've seen this before, why don't you stop being a little girl and try it". To my surprise he said "spit that out, I want you to try something". What did he pull out of his rucksack? A General-sampler-style pouch of Chaini Indian snus, complete with lettering in Hindi and the works. They were minis (is this how they normally come??). I said "oh yeah, is this the mango shit?", never having tried it, and he said "fck no, mango? I don't use mango". Must have been the "Spice". Either way, it tasted distinctly Indian, just like betel nut and we both had a mini portion and busted out the actual betel nut (which I do not like). He is one of my best friends, and I was hesitant to give him the snus spiel, but it was really cool that he beat me to it with some Indian snus. He is an Indophile, for sure. A Central Asia-phile. A fkng weirdo, really, but I love the guy.
Anyway, that was a nice segue into the discussion of snus. He said he knows a colonel who dragged him into a debate recently about snus, but the dude doesn't know jack shit about it. Perfect candidate for this box I say. He will be our first recipient... a colonel in Afghanistan who has only messed around with some weird Indian mini snus. I feel good about this. Just thought I would share. Let's send this bastard and his constituents some real snus. In the meantime, I will get my buddy to puke off some Skruf ES los.
