Snus newbie.

[sagedil]

Doesn't really matter. Something like 20% of Swedes use snus. So even if half use los, that still means one out of 10 Swedes is using portions and spitting them out somewhere. There was a blog post a year ago that was posted talking about how gross all the portions on the ground was. I will try and find it again later when i get to work.

Another UK snusar excellent, prob makes about 5 of us now, pretty exclusive hey?

Like Pete says, once you've paid the tobacco tax and vat (25%)in Sweden there's no more to pay, no duty on snuff in the UK. Totally legal just not allowed to be sold in the EU.

Pricey, yes but soooo much cheaper than fags. I think you can order up to 6 cans for the same postage cost.

Delivery from Buysnus/Northener no problem, eg. order on a tuesday it normally arrives next tuesday. No customs label as we are all in the EU. Postie must wonder what's inside cos the parcel smells really strong.

I use los and keep a prilla in for anything between 15 min to 2hr.

Baking: make a small prilla (7-8mm dia), take a pinch of snus and mould it into a ball not too hard using the thumb and 1st fingers of your left and right hand.

Storage: Dont stress, keeps for ages in the freezer (in a tupperware), snus in use I keep in the fridge.

Give los time and you will master it, be patient it will happen, but dont expect to like it straight away.

Thanks for the very helpful info! I was slightly worried that more charges would be thrown on it at customs, but I guess not! I'll do my best to be patient with los and work with it, if all else fails I'll have to resort to portions

Also thanks to all for the suprisingly welcoming welcome here!

I'm in the uk and got my first order of snus on thursday this week. Order shipped on monday so took 4 days. On phantom brown white portion got 5 cans with taxes and post cost 21 euros and a few pence. Really enjoying it so far. Ordered from snus express and am so far happy with the service and will be ordering again soon. Trying to make a can last 3 days. 8 a day and so far so good.
