Post-PACT

[Stubby]

All right girls and boys, the bad news is here as expected. Getsnus and Northerner have there new tax system up and running and you can now see how much you will be paying for da goods. Of course it's going to be different depending on the state you live in. According to Northerner certain brands will be a good deal cheaper then others. The least expensive are Gotlandssnus, Jakobsson's, Thunder and Offroad.

There are three states that will not be able to get snus as of now, Iowa, South Dakota and Mass. I haven't followed all the reasoning as to why it's banned in these states so can't help you there.

As far as shipping... I did some test orders and shipping for 1 roll was $12.19, but shipping for 4 rolls was $13.78. You can save a good deal of money by placing large orders.

Certain brands will not be available in the US. It's still a bit shaky as to what's going on with this as Northerner is selling out some brands they have in their warehouse that won't be available when it is sold out. I know Skruf is one of those, but there are others. Not sure what's going on with Oden's. Oomph recently showed up in the US warehouse and will be available long term. The SnusX bucket is not available now, but will be when they figure out how put the warning label on the bucket. The one that tells you tobacco is addictive (duh) and that baby Jesus cries every time you put a snus portion in you mouth. That's going to be one big *** label.

That's the good the bad and the ugly.

LOL! Now, now Stubby, we're suppose to play nice, this is really for our health; not taxes-sure

Seriously, Thanks for all the great info., I'm off to see how much it's going to hurt.

[hittman]

Yes thanks Stubby for the info. So they decided on the baby Jesus label instead of the " You're killing the children" label. It must have been a hard decision.

[Skrymr]

Thanks for the info Stubby. I'm going to see if I can badger my local tobacco shop into getting my Grov Black. Maybe I'll at least save shipping costs.... Let me know what you use, and maybe I can work something out for you too. I'm hoping the more I want, the more likely they will get it. I would be happy to meet half way if it would help you out. I'm in West Bend.

I noticed recently they got Stonewalls wintergreen here in town. I'm holding out for Java.

I'm well stocked at the moment. I have at least 1 1/2 years worth stashed away. At the moment there is no one in Madison that carries Swedish snus. Hopefully that will change in the next few years.

Well, I started driving myself crazy looking at ounces for this item and that and double checking them.

I know this has been here before, but it's a great chart for the taxes posted on sunson.com: *USA* Tobacco Laws and Taxes By State

Thanks again, Stubby posting this. Looks like I need to do as you say, order a lot to cover the shipping and I'm finding smaller weight helps me out in my state. Hmmm, bet I don't.

They are pretty detail there.

Dang it! I live in Iowa!!!!!!

[hittman]

Axl, if you need some and can't get it, I would order it and ship it to you. Missouri state tax is only 10 percent. I can ship ups from work for around five dollars for the first pound and a few cents added for each additional pound. It would cost a tiny bit more but if you did large orders then it would be worth it.

[W Axl Rose]

Hitt, thank you! I have quite a stash, but at some point I will need to order and I am going to take you up on that! Would you mind pm-ing me with your contact info just in case? I tried to order stonewall awhile back only to find that they don't ship to Iowa so I might enlist your help iin the near future on that one. Thanks again!!

[hittman]

Sure Axl. I'm on my phone right now but when I get to a computer I'll send my info to you.
