    Psst... What he said, Seems nobody is hearing this and it can be cheaper to order from especially for those in High Tax States, Just order more than 1 roll to have it pay to offset the shipping cost. Would you rather pay higher tax and get less snus or buy more snus... Simple to me Oh!! BTW

    I always pay all my State tobacco and federal taxes and fill out all forms... Really I do.. Just ask me

      This blows. I just got back from a trip overseas and I am completely out of portions. I like portions. I also returned to massive bills and rent, so I cannot afford to order more than a roll. I was going to place an order this morning, but **** it, I can't pay $9 a can right now. I'll use my los and probably put some up on the exchange. Anyone have some ES Portions they want to swap for Gellivare, Grov, or Skruf ES los? Dammit. I have still yet to do even a mock-order since PACT, and now I don't need to. Thanks for the info. When I get paid again later this month I'll try snuscentral for the 1st time.

        There's always the VIP option, best one for us right now.

          You could also try making portions via the teabag method. If that works out for you, your snus will last much longer.

                Did a mock order for General Long Sterk on GetSnus, 82 bucks for 1 roll. Could get from BuySnus for 28 bucks for a roll but shipping is higher and when you add the 75% tax (by filling out the proper forms) there is no benefit to buying from BuySnus or SnusCentral.

                  Good point. I also noticed that you can enroll in a VIP program on a monthly basis and for $30.00 a month you get a roll of snus. This is way cheaper than smoking. I just hope the VIP selection gets better as I would love to enroll in it.

                    I agree, I would love to see a WP or two in the mix, or something non-flavored (like General or Ettan).

                      UPDATE!

                      I took @lxskllr suggestion and spoke to my local shop. While still in the works, they will hopefully be brining in General (regular) Loose. Not exactly what I want, but this is what their vendor is currently carrying. The pricing looks as though it will be inline with Cope. Once this goes through, I will post the information. Currently they'll bring it in for me, I will see what we can do (order wise) for folks who live in the area and can physically go to the store to pick up (WA Indian Res shops can't ship in WA - TMK). I will post as soon as I have more info.

                        Buying General snus in Washington state sucks so bad. I am so sick of it. I'm almost on track financially (and finally) to have an extra $100 to throw at snus all at once, less than a week to go, and I can't wait. I'm down to 2 full cans of lös and 2 open cans at home, but I've been using General portions to supplement and for work at $8.95 per can. I am so sick of paying that and so sick of General. I never cared for it to begin with. The only reason that I have to consider myself fortunate (in terms of snus) is that I work 1 block down a nasty alley with dead rats and crack dealers from the General Dealer (Tobacco Patch on Yesler).

                        Just curious, where is this shop SBanks? I had to google Covington, is there a shop there or would it be Auburn or where? If you really want General at ridiculous prices I'd be happy to buy you a roll from the store here in Seattle and put in the mail. I also work a block from a post office. Would want the money up front but I'm good for it.

                        Edit: I read the first page... you talked to someone on an Indian Res? Nice work. I wonder what the price will be.

                          Yeah whenever I have an extra 20 and want a couple cans of General I go to Kirkland, much nicer area.

                            Hey Roo,

                            The shop is in Fife right off of I-5. I'll post more details when things get confirmed. Looking at about $3.50 a can, $32.00 a roll of 10. Again, very close to the pricing of Cope on a Res. here in WA. You're sick of General, buddy I'm sick of having to have gone back to Cope. The satisfaction compared to snus just isn't there. Like I said, I'd prefer Thunder Extra Strong overall (great taste and bang for the buck) or even General ES, but beggars can't be choosers. Trust me, in WA we're BEGGING!

                            So I think if enough locals can support this, at a later date we could ask for more specific brands etc.

                            Thanks for the offer of getting the snus Roo, but I used to work in Mountlake Terrace, 100 miles round trip to and from work everyday... so Seattle is a skip in the park for me. But it sounds like the prices I'm alluding to might get you driving down here once a month or every two. :-)

                              Hey, give me their info and I'll contact them immediately. We now have a wholesale distributor for that state, so if you get me their info I'll contact the owner, etc and get some of our U.S. brands in there too. Thanks

                                Cool SBanks, I drive to Portland at least once a month. I have a lot of family down there. I-5 intrigues me, it really does. General or whatever. If Rick could get some Thunder in there I'd be all over it. General is starting to make me sick.
