and all oral tobacco is illegal aswell. I think you can grow your own for personal use aslong as it is "rough cut" im not sure for the right terms/words here since my English isnt that good, but i would think growing it yourself is okay again, aslong as it meets the legal things.

Turns out i was way wrong, Home growing tobacco is illegal and Chewing Tobacco is legal, huh! Guess you learn something new everyday.

Sounds like you need to get someone to empty snus tins in a jar, label it Chewing Tobacco, and ship it to you ;^)

Hahaha good idea!

cretecoater has sent me dip from US and some of the cans actually have the prices on them

let me just check again

yep the prices vary from $1 to $2.50 a can



from the cans I got ....

maybe CreteCoater will see this thread and update us from where he purchased these cans so cheaply ;-)

can't find some cans with Skoal Xtra .... I recall seeing $1.85 OR $2.85 on the cans.... lol

Skoal Extra was pretty cheap at first...it was all like $1-$2 off the regular price. When I first started using Grizzly, it was like $2 a tin, and they used to have specials where you get could tins of Grizzly for 50cents. I don't think Timberwolf, Rooster, or Kayak are any cheaper than Grizzly, but they might be...but I think all those dips suck. Grizzly is a pretty good dip, and it's the cheapest one that I will buy.

[justintempler]

Which reminds me, my last Pre-PACT order for Ettan lös cost me a $1.50 a can including delivery.

We'll never see those days again.



(the price was in Euros)

[Slidingblues]

Maybe some Yanks can correct me if I'm wrong, but dip is not anywhere near $1.50 a can here in the US. In Seattle it's cheaper than cigs, at about $6 or $7 a can I believe. Cigs and snus are $8-$10 per package, which is definitely high for the US, but hopefully that helps you compare the prices to obtain tobacco in Romania vs. USA. You're not missing out on amazing prices if you can get dip for USD 5 or 6.

Tobacco taxes can really jack up the prices . I saw Grizzly on sale for around $1.89 the other day here. Sometimes there are specials, and that could have been the case with that.

General goes for about $4.00 a can with tax.

I don't pay a lot of attention to dip or chewing tobacco prices because I don't use either. However, I priced out some items for a friend in Germany the other day. Our prices on what he was curious about were as follows...

A 5 can roll of Copenhagen, Kodiak or Hawkins runs 19.65 tax included. Per can it is $4.12

Timberwolf Dip is 12.70 per 5 can roll or 2.70 per can

Redman Silver is 4.79 per pouch. Case price is 52.69. 12 pouches per box

Stokers Moist Snuff is 11.89 and is equal to 10 cans.
Stokers bulk chew is 12.09

Dry snuff 1.15 ounce
Red Seal Sweet 5.09
Tube Rose 4.29
Conwood Dental 5.49
Garrett's various 5.09

Some states have lower taxes than mine....

Halló Yfir! Velkomin til Snuson! Hvar á Íslandi ertu?

My uncle tried to find Lundi, but he couldn't find it in the ÁTVR shops; so he brought me some Neftóbak. How is it?

If you're looking for tobacco, maybe we can arrange a trade? A package of bjúga would be nice (or some Malt Extrakt).

---------------------------------

I find it [Neftóbak] waaay stronger than anything i have ever tried of the "foreign" snus/tobacco but the smell and taste is horrible

þú kallið sjálfur Íslendingur?

[YfirBaggari]

Hey there seattle nice icelandic! Ég er staddur á Sauðárkróki. Sadly the customs will probably take the tobacco but im sure we could arrange something since Malt isnt exspensive at all :P and about the smell, Alot of people try telling me that they like the smell but their eyes don't lie when they open that can haha

[CreteCoater]

Those cans were purchaced in central Pa and are the norm for non Copenhagen/Skoal fine cut.

[Crow]

Ég er staddur á Sauðárkróki.

Right on! Ég hef aðeins verið að Sauðárkróki einu sinni (ég var að ferðast um allt land). Fjölskyldan býr mitt í Reykavik og Akranesi.

Varðandi tóbak... Ég er viss um að við getum fundið lausn. Sendið mér skilaboð með því vörumerki sem þú ert að leita að.

Again, welcome to the forum... I hope you stick around! It would be fun to have another Icelander in the group!

-------------------------

I forgot to ask... How much does a 250 gr. tub of Neftóbak cost (in krónur)?

[shikitohno]

I had a guy in Iceland that I arranged to trade some dip for neftóbak, Yfir. The dip got through customs fine, but unfortunately for me, he seems to have just taken it and run. Never saw my two tins of neftóbak from the bastard, and this is at least three months on now. I would like to get some more neftóbak in the future, as I did rather enjoy the sample a certain benefactor sent me.

Also, CreteCoater and precious, here's why your dip was so cheap:

Those cans were purchaced in central Pa

Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as I recall, Pennsylvania is the only state in the entire country that doesn't levy any tax on smokeless tobacco. I remember seeing someone in the state legislature introduced a bill to change that, but I don't remember ever seeing it pass. Keeping in mind that the vast majority of the cost of any tobacco product in the US is tax, PA can hardly be considered indicative of normal prices of smokeless. I don't expect our European members to be up to snuff on state tax schedules, but you're lucky if you get someone from Pennsylvania as a trading partner, I guess. The only other state that I think might not have any smokeless tax is New Hampshire, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Many thanks and Will do, So you have been to my home town how awesome is that!
