[Elendil]

It appears to be made from tobacco so it will, of course, have lobbyist and FDA support......

12-01-07 is the date at the bottom of the website...i think these are what customs are refering to as tobacco waffers....hmm interesing i would like to know that they are getting exact stuff in these. and i wonder can we disolve these in vg or pg? may be another way to get our juice...

I was actually sent some samples of these. They burn your tongue a bit.

I don't have a problem with the product, but I agree that there is an irony that this tobacco alternative passed at the FDA without the argument that they could be used as a gateway to hook children.

Because it's a tobacco product, and they're collecting taxes on it. It's all about the money.

I wonder what the nicotine level is in a piece. I didn't see that posted.

I also wonder if it will make you sick at your stomach if you swallow the dissolved juices. I mean I tried dipping snuff when I was a kid, and a friend said real men don't spit, we were both sick as a dog for hours afterwards. Never dipped again.

whachyoo wanna bet it tastes like.... well... ya know...

I'm really starting to think this is going to get killed for no other reason than the big bad guys really DO want us all to die!

These have been around for awhile... try doing a forum search for Stonewall, the higher-nic version, 'cuz TropicalBob and others have talked about them here and there, mostly in the Smokeless Tobacco subforum. They're not bad at all! I ordered some Stonewall in Java and Wintergreen flavors and use them occasionally just to change things up a bit. Best thing is, they last forever so you can throw 'em in your bag for emergency nic-ups in places where you might not want to vape, like on the bus.

What do these things cost? It wasn't evident on the site/

(Also, like Swedish snus, they contain almost no tobacco-specific nitrosamines the way chewing tobacco does. So they won't mess up your teeth and gums. Brush and floss as normal and you're fine.)

When I did the mail-order, one box cost me just shy of nine bucks, but the shipping was pretty high so I ordered 3 boxes. One box contains six packs of the tablets, each pack being about the size of a deck of cards. A pack has two blister-sheets of 10 tablets each.

EDIT: oops, each box has 5 packs, not 6. So 100 tablets per box. I hope I got it right this time!!

Copied the info I found:

Stonewall is an innovative hard snuff tobacco product that requires no spitting. The product is compressed, powered tobacco, that is designed to dissolve in the mouth. Each pack contains 20 pieces - 4.0mg of nicotine per piece, which is prefered by most moist snuff users. Each order of 1 unit contains 5 packs of 20 (100 total pieces).

Not big tobacco. It's made by Star Scientific... small tobacco. Really small.
