    I don't know about Retro.
    I do know SC's discount is for first time buyers and will not work on already discounted products. But it's only 10% and most of the special deals are already discounted more than that.

        Although I said I prefer Knox in another thread I'd be sad to see Retro go.

        Especially the original portions (despite my claims that it is a wanna be Grov).

        I was in Sweden when Retro was launched and bought a bunch of cans because it was marked down as part of the launch campaign, and for a while the Retro Original was one of my top five portions.

        F&L really should stop releasing stuff and then withdrawing it. Yes, Granit is popular, but it is just a General clone. At least Retro was something different. Same with the Pall Mall.

        What do they have in their stable now?

        LS, Granit and Mocca. Not much of a range.

            No actualy, I am remarkably calm.

            Wait and see to see what really is. I have a roll of Retro whites coming. And honestly, as much as I love it, I can survive fine on everything else that is if I have to/ LS whites, Camel white, at least close.

            But I am gonna wait until we have real confirmation before I even worry. Just checked Northerner and they stll have it fne. And nothing posted on their ste about it


            And not walking today, working from home instead, just needed that break.

                LOL, I Really seem to be in a happy zone this morning cause you got nothing from me on all of these. :wink:

                I have an amazing job that really gives me any flexibility I could ever need. Plus, we are a cell phone only company, so it really doesn't matter where I am if I have my phone and computer with me. There are a *few* things I need to be in the office for, but mostly, could do my job sitting on the beach if wanted to.

                As for Retro, just checked Buysnus and it is NOT listed. But no notice on their site. So???

                But I am still fine. Anyone who truly loves snus has to accept that brands come and go all the time, just t e way the snus world is and throwing temper tantrums over what have no control over just seems stupid.

                I wish I had money,I only get paid once a month and have nothing more to spare this month. Of course, suppose if folks REALLY liked me, they could buy some Retro white from Northerner and send it to me. I mean, I even posted my work address publicly in my call for Snus thread.

                Hint Hint!!!! :wink:

                :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

                  Northerner currently has it listed as "Expected today" for both original and whites. If that changes before Monday I'll throw in a few cans for you as I am putting in an order then. And a few for myself just to keep my end of our unofficial deal ;-)

                    I'm in a similar situation in that I could do what I do from just about anywhere with Laptop and a phone. But the boss is still of the mindset that if he can't see my ugly mug in my office behind a desk there must not being much work being done. Also like you however, I've gotten really good at my job after 16 years at it that I get top notch work done in probably half the time it would take most doing what I do. So I avoid complaining too much anyway cause it wouldn't help and gotta count the blessings.

                    I still want to roast you tho LOL

                      That would be very sweet and most appreciated. Normally, like most vets here, I won't ever let folks do anything for me. just really prefer that younger folks get taken care of and never want to use my situation for my own benefit. But will make an exception here. :wink:

                        I'll add some on the next order as well and toss em in the freezer. Happy to send some if and when needed and I'm guessing we could help each other out at some point in the near future. Somewhere in the back of your freezer you have a double top secret stash of plutonium infused snus. 1 portion of that for a roll of retro white lol.

                          I am so sick of this shit!

                          I don't see any Retro for sale at Buysnus.com. Unless they are pulling a "Knox portion", I don't foresee them being for sale anywhere in the near future. I just finished an e-mail asking if Retro is still being produced and sold.

                          LD Blue, my previous favorite, and now my current favorite Retro? When is it going to end!!!

                            LOL

                            Everyone feeling sorry for me, you were a Retro fan even before me and I had forgotten your LD Blue trauma.

                            Welcome to my pain, I know you feel it as bad, if not even worse than I.

                            As I posted elsewhere, gonna try again to fall in love with general. At least they can't take that away....I hope,

                              I guess, if they no longer sell Retro, I will start using LD original portion. It is as close as I have found as a Retro substitute. It does not last as long, but long enough to keep me happy. It is better than Knox portion as well, at a lower price. Is Knox ever going to go down in price, or is this "production problem" going to keep it a premium priced """"""inexpensive snus""""" ? WTF? There is a lot of stuff out there can replace this over-priced snus.
