    Fastest. Shipping. Ever.

    I ordered some another roll of Nick & Johnny loose, five cans of Skruf Stark loose, and a stainless steel 3 ml Icetool from BuySnus last Thursday and it arrived here today (Tuesday). I used the cheapest shipping.

    This is without a doubt the fastest a shipment has ever come for me. I seriously couldn't believe it when I picked it up from my landlord this morning. I was stunned.

    BTW, this is my first time trying Skruf. I ordered a half roll because of all of the positive comments it's gotten here and I was not disappointed. This'll definitely be in my normal rotation from now on, along with Nick & Johnny, Goteborgs Rape, and Prima Fint. (All loose.)

    Tremendous.

    Always good to hear about the positive experiences as well. Skruf Stark is my kick it up a notch at night snus. Always good. I am starting to like N&J more but still unsure about the reorder. Stark is covering my needs quite well.

      Thus far I've found Skruf Stark to be very, very easy on the gums compared to other loose. I really like that aspect.

      I'll definitely be re-ordering.

      I feel I've now found my top two favorite loose brands. N&J and Skruf, with Rape trailing a close third. It's all great, really, but these three have become my passions.

        So far the only loose I've tried are: N & J, Skruf Stark and Prima Fint. Are you saying I've already sampled the best there is? :shock: I put Ettan and General (both loose) on my last order, I'm still in my "experimental" stage and they seem like solid brands.

        Glad to hear about the quick shipping. I placed an order last Friday but it didn't ship until yesterday. Should I place my orders in the middle of the night so they hit Sweden during business hours? I'm guessing it's an 8+ hour time difference from Pacific Time?

          I think I'm going to cry...

          I placed my order with buysnus on Thursday as well, and it still hasn't shipped, and I picked UPS so that I would get it before I go out of town. I actually contacted them and am having my order shipped to the place I will be staying while on vacation so that I'm not snusless (is that a word?) over the holidays. It's a bit of a bummer to pay the extra money for the fast shipping, and 4 business days later to still be waiting on the order to even ship out. They did promise to throw in some extra goodies since I have had to wait, but it wont make the plane ride any easier if I'm completely out of snus by then.

            Sacrilicious:

            Prima Fint is good, but I was talking about Goteborgs Rape loose. The blue can. Tremendous stuff. Insanely flavorful. I recommend you try it sometime. Some people don't like it because it isn't really a pure tobacco taste, but I find it very refreshing, especially first thing in the morning. It's got flowery and herbal tones to it along with a very subtle bit of juniper, at least I think the juniper is there. I could be delusional, but I swear I taste it.

            Those are merely my favorites. Ettan and General are both great brands. Ettan loose is magical. It isn't it my daily rotation, but I do enjoy it frequently. I think the reason for my infrequent use of it is because I only have one can left and I'm trying make it stretch. General is pretty good, but I like Diplomat better. They're pretty similar, but I just like the flavor of Diplomat more. I've only tried the loose, not the portions. But the loose is wonderful indeed.

            Try 'em all, man. Even the cheaper stuff like Kronan has been enjoyable to me. I've only once been completely disappointed. Offroad Cranberry. Way too sweet for my tastes. But if you like sweet, try it. It just really didn't agree with me.

              Did you try out the Gotlands yellow this order Soft Morning? It is still my absolute favorite loose, so so good. I really haven't tried a loose brand I didn't like. I haven't had any offroad or RL loose yet.

                Ah man smarvy that sucks.

                I also placed an order last friday and it didn't ship till monday. I sort of knew that since I was lazy and didn't bother ordering until the middle of the day when I'm sure it was after their business hours in sweden.
                But it would've been nice if Buysnus didn't require a goddamn verification with the card company every time I order. that shit is really annoying because I had the order ready to go thursday night, but the 'security department' at my card company was gone for the day. so i had to do it on friday. i wake up around noon-1 or so on friday anyway (i work til 3 in the morning and stay up often an hour or two after that)


                so yeah...despite smarvy tried his best, always order late thursday (or sunday)

                ordering on a monday, tuesday, wednesday is pointless.

                I have had the same shipment time you had SMC, with Northerner once. But that was when I was in NJ.


                Sacrilicious: ettan and general are great. General is very addictive. At first I didn't like general much at all, it seemed a little too subtle for me, but then I realized how fast I was going through the can (it's what I wanted the most for some reason). It's just got a perfected taste to it that at the time I started it I didn't realize it was that good.
                sort of like a lot of music I like now...(sounds like ass at first, listen to it later and find out it kicks ass)

                Ettan is also nice, I loved it right away. It has like many say a very pure tobacco flavor. I don't see how anybody could be disappointed with it.
                ANd like SMC said try them all.
                Kronan is an awesome brand.
                Hell, you could even wing it with a can of Level. I was about to but I haven't tried everything yet. I think I'll get a can on my next order (since then I'll have tried 90% of all the flavors available). I don't care what anyone says, I'm trying the nasty of the nasty at least once.

                  No. Just my luck, they made Gotlands available for order the day after I placed my order. Had I known, I would have held off for one more day. But sadly, I'll not be ordering any Gotlands until next order.

                  What's the texture of Gotlands like? Is it coarse or fine? Does it bake up well? I really want to try it, but I know essentially nothing about it, aside from what everyone says about the flavor which does, indeed, sound wonderful.

                    It is coarse to very coarse. It is coarser then the swedish match brands. Thats one of the reasons I love it. It doesn't bake up as easy as most but is far from impossible to bake like Landstroms.

                      previously when I have ordered snus online when ups delivered I signed to prove I was 18. I got a new job as a medical courier and I work from 6 till 10, how do I go about proving my age when ups delivers

                        You will probably have to go to UPS and pick it up there

                          Awesome. I'll definitely try it then. I don't mind coarse snus at all (Grov loose is absolutely one of my favorites), I was just worried that it might be impossible to bake. I wish Landstroms weren't so challenging.

                          I'll probably order a few cans of the Gold, which I'm sure I'll enjoy, and one can of the Grey just to try it out. The Green portions sound interesting as well. I might just say "**** it" and try them all.

                            I think the yellow is a stronger tasting Landstoms. It is very simular in flavor. Landstroms is just impossible to bake for my unskilled fingers. I would say the whole Gotland line is worth a try. :wink:

                              Yeah, I'll try them all. The more I read about them, the better and better they sound. Can't wait.
