    So i spread the word

    Today at the Speedy Stop while i was buying my General Mint (yes! 3 miles from the house i have a General source!) the lady selling it said she had tried the Marlboro to see what it was and wasnt impressed with it. i told her to try the General mini mint and to place under her top lip not the bottom and its spitless. she said she didnt know thats what you did with it and she would try it. so, hopefully she is a bit better informed and will recommend it to others to keep it in the store!
    you guys ever try to get people to try Snus? i had a co worker who was visiting from dallas and i gave him 5 pouches of general white to try to take with him and he is now snusing at work to

    I have tried to get several smokers I know to use snus and each time I get a strange look along with "ewwww, your using chewing tobacco?"

    Hey let rickcharles know about that store and one day you may have some other selections besides General.

      I've tried recommending snus around..

      But the people in most European countries aren't so open minded when it comes to smokeless stuff.
      If snus will be legalized in EU I'll open a store, that's for sure. )

        I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. It seems like the anti tobacco advocates have won the cigarette war and now they are going after all other forms of tobacco.

          yeah, let that Rick Charles guy know if you have a tobacco outlet or premium smokeshop in your area that you'd like to see Gotland's, V2 and Northerner Branded snus in...lol

          He needs the name of the shop/outlet, the contact person, address and phone number...and I have it on good authority that he will contact them immediately. And just an FYI, we now have a nation wide distributor that can sell into most any shop, so now's the time to give me the stores that you wanna see carry our products. Those of you that have done so, thanks and the ball is now rolling.

          For those in MASS....we can sell into brick and mortars through our distributor...hint, hint...

            OK I just have to ask - what brands can you supply the stores with? Would they be able to get Gellivare for example?

              I'm not sure ...

              I haven't got all the information I need on file to open a tobacco store ... but I guess all the major brands would be in. - So people can test them and slowly remove the ones that aren't selling that well.

                Unfortunately I was the only smoker at my work so I couldn't share, but great job getting the word out!

                  Gotlandssnus products, V2 products and Northerner branded (TillCe) products. So all the Gotlandssnus, Jak's...Thunder and Offroad and Northerner Citrus/Menthol, etc. You can see the products on www.snusdistribution.com

                      Thanks! You have your work cut out for you by not having General. Most of the products you carry are only known by experienced snusers. I do think that the Northerner snus will become more popular though as more people are being required to conceal their habit.

                        Well, the one's that I think will really take off are the Jak's lineup and the Thunder-we're already seeing good number from them. Truth be told, people that have never used Swedish snus, don't know General products either, and the people that recently began using General products, will be willing to try another quality Swedish snus.

                          you guys ever try to get people to try Snus?
                          always, haven't converted anyone, because usually people are ignorant, and think it's very unhealthy and disgusting, and wont listen to anything I say. The few people that have tried it said they liked it, but like cigarettes more.

                            Man I would sell my soul to be able to buy Ettan or Tre in an actual store. Thunder will work too.

                              I know i gave you some contact info before, but fight back harder with The Tobacco Patch in Seattle. There are 3 outlets, 2 of which are heavily populated b tourists, and one of which is a short walk down an alley from my office lol.
                              They sell LOTS of General, but so far that's it: http://www.tobaccopatch.com/
