I'm new here and have really been enjoying myself reading around on this board.
One thing I discovered that totally shocked me was that both Marlboro and Camel are coming out with versions of "snus". I haven't seen any around here, but then, thankfully, I live in the back-country.
I am going to pre-judge this crap now:
I can tell you that this will not be real snus, simply because it is made in America, for Americans. In America, companies ALWAYS do the cheapest possible thing.
They will not follow the traditional Swedish methods of building snus, because that is not the cheapest way to do it. The hygienic controls used in Sweden, for example, are not required here and they are expensive. This means they're out the window.
American firms will use the cheapest possible tobacco and chemically alter it to improve taste. Take it to the bank.
They'll screw with it to "Americanize" it.....
....NOW WITH NEW FLAVOR STRIPS!!!!....<<<<this is actually in the Marlboro snus...
You will have Water Melon snus, Lemon Drop snus, Sour Cream and Onion snus.
They will figure out a way to combine it with the toxic crap in energy drinks and you'll have Red Bull snus, Monster snus, Rockstar snus, etc...
They'll sweeten it not with sugar but high fructose corn syrup because that crap is the cheapest possible sweetener in the US (and look, it's in everything we eat).
I'm just saying don't get your hopes up for American "snus". Remember, we invented both the assembly-line AND Wal-Mart in this country.
