just got a roll from northerner with a new general can design, giant US style warnings, when did this start? i got many cans from my cigar shop a few weeks ago that were much more subtle, I guess these new regs are taking effect.

whoa, i haven't purchased any snus/snuff since before PACT(my pre-pact hoarding left me well-stocked). Those new warnings really take away the beauty of the general tins. :[
Not only that but the outer lid label is printed. So it's not a sticker that can be removed.
how do you store a large amount for a long time? i bought a mini fridge on CL and figured thats probably a good idea, keep my nic juice in there as well. how long will cans last in a ziplock, kept at 34F?
I haven't bought any with the new label on yet either but have seen it posted before. I know several people have bought those food sealers to pack their snus in the freezer or refrigerator. From what I have seen others say, it will stay good for 1-2 years. I also read an article at snuson that said that it doesn't have to be stored in a freezer but just in a cool place without temperature variations. I never bought a food saver but do have enough to last probably a year or better.
I guess all us pre-PACT hoarders have collector item tins in their freezers/fridges then eh?
That big warning is just ugly (but I'm sure glad it is there since we're all so stupid that we don't have a clue that nicotine can be addictive if it isn't in one inch bold letters that we have to look at every day to remind us).
Grrrrrrr.

I've been saving the tops off my "empties" for a while so I can just swap 'em out for the new ugly ones. 
I got a roll of General Mint right before PACT kicked in that had the ginormous warning.

well the side band label has it too, so you need to swap the whole can or remove the labels
I think it's cause we all know use of a smokeless tobacco product causes macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma and indifference to beautiful women.
I just got my roll of Thunder Frosted yesterday and these warnings are indeed ugly. I do have boxes full of collected tins, however, and could always swap out.
Next go round, I expect the tins will have close-up photos of rotted teeth on the labels!

That is too funny TB. I haven't seen you around the forum in a little bit. I am a bit surprised that you ordered already. I thought you were pretty stocked up prior to PACT.
I removed the labels. I find them ridiculous. Swedish snus is shown to be very low risk, but the FDA can't have us using safer alternatives, now can they? The labels told me in huge letters how I was going to get mouth cancer, my teeth would fall out, my gums would decay, and I would be addicted to nicotine.
At the 7-11 that sells Camel Snus, BIG sign with BIG letters warning of mouth cancer.
The warning on my Winston Lights pack: Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide.
There are no words to express my frustration with the world sometimes.

I noticed that as well. The actual refrigerator at the 7-11 has the giant warning, as if refrigerators cause mouth disease and cancer
I had been hoping to order at least two buckets of SnusX -- which would last me many months, but then the things disappeared from the market. I was not well-stocked, so ordered a roll of Thunder.
With all the "no tobacco products" allowed on premises stuff, I'll probably dump my Thunder portions in my empty tin of XQs no-tobaccco, no-nicotine pouches. I have to attend a barbecue soon at a college campus that is No Tobacco Use (which includes e-cigs, too) and you just know I'll have my little XQs tin in my rear pocket. Hey, it says "No Tobacco" right on the lid. No warning labels, either.

TB did you get the mini portions or are you doing the strong portions now? Doesn't the new shipping rates stink. I used to be able to get 20-25 cans shipped for $5. The actual prices on the snus seem to be about the same from what I've seen. Even though I don't need to order any, I've checked getsnus a couple times just to see how the prices are and I saw that catch has a new orange flavor. I am curious about that one.
My last order was the day before the PACT took effect. All the cans have huge warnings on them.
The worst one is the "WARNING: This product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes"
Just gives the wife and kids more ammo ( I keep threatening to go back to cigs but I know I'm past that now )

They were minis, Hittman. And the shipping does stink. It came UPS and I had to sign for it. The day before delivery I got an automated phone call saying my delivery would be the next day "between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m.". Talk about being a prisoner in your own home. I didn't even think I had time for bathroom duties!
It came at 5:30 p.m.
It came at 5:30 p.m.
That does stink TB. I have yet to order but always have my orders shipped to my work. We have a daily UPS delivery but I wonder if I would still get a phone call? If they come after five here then the doors are locked.
I've wandered through a couple of those no tobacco on premises places, most recently a hospital where I was visiting a friend who had just had a baby. While, I'd never encourage anyone to violate local rules and regulations, I just sort of smurked when I walked past every sign in the place.
