    Ahh, ok. Hence why I can order it from Sweden without it coming in unmarked envelopes.. Still it's a weird old setup..

          I have to admit from a UK perspective I don't like the candy tasting snus, I'm more of a traditional Swedish salty tobacco snus kind of man. If someone asked me to choose between a cream cake and a pork pie the pork pie would win no contest. I imagined too V2 were having trouble keeping up with the US 'sweet tooth' demand (not that there's anything wrong with that, all tastes differ) hence the problems they're experiencing keeping up. I've also always found the V2 tobacco portion material a bit rough on my gums but that's just me.

                Cheers for all the advice guys. I've got my last piece in as I type, placed it nearer the centre, so far it's been about 20 mins and I haven't felt the need to spit. Don't get paid untill the weekend so won't be able to order any till then. Does any UK folk know the usual amount of time it takes for shipments to arrive from buysnus?

                Once again thanks for all the responces.

                    yea this is very serious.......................... Do you know the consequences of selling illegal snus?...............It ain't pretty my friend................First, you might get busted by undercover cops operating under somewhat auspicious circumstances.................Second, if you were to write a post about the experience here on the forum you could well find yourself in a big long drawn out debate about whether any of it really happened................and then the next thing you know you've denied the entire Jewish holicost.....................so by all means be very careful.....................this is no laughing matter!!!!!


                    ......................no wait.................that was in Estonia.....................never mind..................... my bad.


                    Continue on



                    oh and welcome to the forum
                    When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

                        It'll take about 3 or 4 days from buysnus.

                          Strange but I seem to have acquired my sweet tooth spending my childhood years in the UK and put the blame on Crunchy bars, fuit pastilles, Tate and Lyle, and chocolate easter eggs.

                            That being said I don't care for sweet snus either. I also think that sweet snus is the wrong way to convert smokers here in the US although dippers are used to sweet flavors.

                              Thunder Frosted isn't all that sweet. What are you on about?

                                Me agrees completely which is why it's the only mint snus I've ever liked. I have plenty in the freezer and very much enjoy the minis too. General mint and wintergreen on the other hand are horribly sweet; actually they're artificially sweet and taste like sugarless gum.

                                  A genuine interest in snus is what led the brothers Marc and Patrick Vogel to launch V2 Tobacco in 2006. Production began on a small scale, but increased as a result of demand until the brothers outgrew their factory. ...

Swedish Match experiments with cultivation in different countries to achieve the best possible raw tobacco. If declared a good soil for tobacco, seeds are planted and every step in the development and the cultivation of the plant is carefully ...

                                  I have been meaning to post something like this for a while. It seems that many if not most of the folks hear are x-smokers. I applaud you all in your efforts to become smoke free. However, I have come to snus by a different rout and so I want to share my experiences with all those x-dippers who may be looking at this site for suggestions and direction to get started.
