    Anyone Like Marlboro Snus? If so This is For You

    Saw this at ebay. I don't use Marlboro snus but it still almost looks good enough to bid on.........

    Very Interesting...

    SNUS on eBay:

    "259 results found for snus"


    NO Swedish snus, though:

    "43 results found for swedish match"

      IMO, Marlboro/Camels are the reason why snus isn't very popular here.

        I thought tobacco couldn't be sold on eBay...

        Camel is doing ok, and some people don't mind the flavors (but they need to de-kidify them). But Marlboro is complete crap and even if I could get 400 portions for a buck I wouldn't buy. No clue how that sht is prepared.

          That will be removed. You can't sell tobacco on eBay. That's why there are just millions of people selling the coupons. Lol

            eBay tobacco policy:
            "-- The value of the item is the collectible packaging, not the tobacco itself."

              It's still not a valid auction, and will probably be removed.

              (hilariously though, the Marlboro snus inside is probably worth less than its packaging)

                just because ebay has rules don't mean they always get followed. i am not sure if the packaging for those is old or not. the only thing basically you have to do to pass ebay rules is the packaging cannot be bought on the normal market. iow, say camel changes the color of their box. the old box is ok to sell. well that is splitting hairs to pass the rules but people do it all the time. i see snus for sale on and off at ebay. most of the time they say the package is unopened and new but you are buying the collectible packaging or some nonsense like that. before camel SNUS came along i would sometimes see general for sale on ebay. back then most did not know what it was so it would pass by haha. then camel SNUS came along and the party started to end

                  Why would someone even think to stock up on so much Marlboro SNUS?

                        With Marlboro, especially, retailers must display the brand prominently and stock product that Altria (the parent company) deems pertinent. In fact, according to one small retailer I spoke to recently, he can't even stock Camel snus. Illegal? Maybe, but someone's gotta fight it to win that point.

                        A major booze shop in the area also stocks Marlboro snus but not Camel's. When questioned, the manager merely stated it was a corporate decision!?! Yet, a chain like 7-11 or Cumberland Farms stocks both snus brands --- probably because their sizes give them added clout.

                        So, if a major purveyor of Marlboros gets saddled with beaucoup snus he can't sell, then eBAY may be the best way out without pissing off Marlboro. They think he's actually moving the product ........ and in a way he is --- on eBAY!!

                          those were probably all free samples that came with the purchase of cigs. Or they came from coupons that came with the cigs.

                          selling tobacco products is easy to do on ebay even tho ebay has restrictions. just post the disclaimer as this seller has then ebay doesn't care.

                          The fellow in germany selling the white elephant snuff has no disclaimer at all and hes been selling alot lately.

                          Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                          I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                            I like Marlboro snus occasionally, but not nearly enough to buy that much of it.

                              I wouldn't take them if they were free...in fact I have a package of them with I think thee missing only 'cos the second go I double barreled to see how it worked. Might open them up and make a prilla with that and some real los. obviously I haven't been motivated to do that yet.
