Kardus 2008 Edition

[lxskllr]

There's a ribbon tied around the box. Both this years, and last years I had to untie it to get the lid off, it wouldn't slip. That's a disaster. I don't understand how it could get beat up so bad.

[Xobeloot]

Man. that is terrible. Just looking at that makes me a sad panda :cry:

luckysealydid you contact getsnus? if so what did they say?

Other than a refund, I dont see what they could do. The stuff seems to be sold out world-wide.

What a bummer

[luckysealy]

man that really sucks. i hope my order from getsnus looks better. i did order a few more cans, so hopefully they wedged it in to hold the lid shut. did you contact getsnus? if so what did they say?

[Huskysibe]

Awwww man that makes me sick to my stomach seeing that. Is any of it salvageable?

[lxskllr]

What the hell happened to it? It looks like raccoons got in the box, and tore it up.

I got my Kardus the other day. I tried one and its amazing. I am so scared to use it since it was so expensive. Right now its in my fridge and I will use it occacsionally. I think its a must for any true snuser. For me it's that I just have to try everything and when something like this comes out you can not pass it up. I am glad I didn 't.

ok cool, i have dipped copenhagen for the last 15 years so just putting a pinch in might be fairly easy for me.

You can use an IceTool with Kardus, but I wouldn't recommend it. The IceTool packs the snus too tight, and it'll feel like a rock under your lip, and the flavor won't be as robust. I handbake mine, though that's a bit of a misnomer. You just kind of mash it all together until it sticks, then put it in your lip. You can grab a pinch and put it in also, but I'm not comfortable with that technique.

i have a kardus ? i am new to snus. i ordered some general loose and an ice tool. how well does the icetool work with kardus. maybe a stupid question, but i read that kardus is cut differently than other snus. ty

Yesterday (Friday) it was @ 2 hours away East.
It said "on time" for Monday delivery. Whatever I'm not going to run out and get it.
Today it's 4 hours away West.
Pretty inefficient.. I might have been better off not checking.

So close and yet so far...
I would be very surprised (irritated :? ) if mine did not show up Monday.

GetSnus sent me a convenient link in an email to the UPS tracking info for my Kardus.

Really cool. I wasn't sure with free shipping how it was coming.

UPS themselves on the other hand....

Should I ever get a can of probe again in a mix roll, I won't thow it out again. Thanks.
I am looking forward to the Kardus.

You'd probably be ok with Probe. It's not an alcoholic flavor imo. It's sweet, and has some notes of whisky, but if you drank a glass of that flavor, you wouldn't identify it as whisky.

I loved Probe when I first got it, but burned out on it quick. I still like it ok, I just never reach for it.

[snusfather]

The scotch flavor isn't prominent. It has a whisky flavor in the same way that many tobaccos have a whisky flavor, just fortified. It's a ambiguous whisky taste, like Probe, but not anywhere near the same direction they took it if you know what I mean.

That's good to hear, "not prominent" quells my fears a little. I have never tried probe for the same reason I mentioned above, but I understand that it is quite sweet and regarded as disgusting by most that share my tastes.
