Can this day get any worse??

[sagedil]

Please explain this mystery to me. Retro gets discontinued, Nick & Johnny Los gets discontinud, so many great snus have disappeared these past few years. But Level is still being made. Explain that!!!!!

I blame CJ. Their Level sales probably quadrupled after he found the brand :^D

Yeah went from 4 cans a year sold to 16 cans sold. I still don't understand it.


....Only the Good <snus> dies young. :cry:

And yet Offroad Coffee/Vanilla is still being sold.

This really sucks. Lucky strike is my everyday all day snus. I just ordered five cans last friday from Northerner. Haven't arrived yet. This Sucks! Sage I did not use retro but LS and Camels are both very good. I feel you pain!!!!

Re: Can this day get any worse??

So I wake up to a post that says Retro, my favorite snus of all time, is going away. OK, well, I suppose Camel White and Lucky strike white are close enough, I will live.

Just got a PM that says that camel and Lucky strike can no longer be sold in the USA because of trademark issues, Sure enough, go to Buysnus and click on either, and it now says "Can't be shipped to the US" or some such.

WTF.

What in the hell have I done?? I am a decent guy, I don't hurt folks, I try and do nice things for people. In the span of 30 minutes, I have just learned I can no longer get the snus that I use 50% of the time, and the only snus I truly love with no regrets.

At least I got an e-mail that my order of a roll of Camel White and a roll of retro white have been shipped, gla I at least got under the wire. Still.

Join us in the General horde, you've been fighting it for too long.

Man, I was thinking about that earlier. it would be SO much easier and no hell would it ever go away.

But I just don't like it much. Or haven't yet. I have some samplers here, and will keep coming back to it just to see if I can learn to like it.

But in 2+ years, I haven't.

[wadetheblade]

Sage I feel yeah, Lucky was my all day. I do like some of the SM products. I love Claq Qui and Roda but not for all day. Grov black is pretty good and so is Nick and Johnny but not all day.

[sagedil]

Exactly.


retro, Camel, even LS White are my base snus. Snus I could use all day, all night, etc. So many others I really love, but just don't like using them that often. And the longer I have used, the stronger this preference became.

So suddenly shaken having to figure out a new base snus. Granit is good. But just not sure t is the one. I have some so will be testing more with t soon.

But Retro, just perfect balance of flavor. Too much, I can't deal. But I really dislike too weak too. Skuff White??? I hate it really, just too bland. The Retro has a good strong flavor, and the whites make sure the flavor isn't too much.

I just don't know what can replace that. Camel and LS white were the only two that I thought came close.

[eyephantom]

well, shit. I really hope there is a name change, my suggestion being 'unlucky hit.' Lucky strike combined with ettan to form an unstoppable team at work, my pockets will now be lighter. Never really used camel or retro, my sympathies go out to all who did

Does plastic covered sawdust and glue count as wood?

Only if you sniff it
