snus versus stonewalls for WTA

[The Wiz]

I remain a faithful user of Star Scientific dissolvables -- and am even getting used to the bug-killer taste of Ariva Cinnamon. There is a third new flavor, also, that I forgot to mention. I did order and test it: Mint.

This really is like using a breath mint. It works great first thing in the morning, or after a meal or snack. Still, it's only 1.5mg and I need my 4mg Java Stonewall after dinner, to go with a coffee.

I've been ordering these from Lil Brown Smoke shop in Washington, but that comes to a screeching halt soon with PACT implementation. I got a warning from Lil Brown yesterday that my products will no longer be sent a short time from now.

I'm screwed. Pure and simple. Local shop just can't keep up the way a big online player can.

TB....I have not seen the Ariva Cinnamon....I am assuming they are 1.5mg as well? On a side note: I would have thought you were up to a lifetime supply of Stonewalls by now? Surely there has to be someone who will stock and ship them after Pact takes effect?

The Wiz!

Wiz: I don't have the reserves to stock up. I buy Stonewall virtually every week. My local tobacco shop does carry Stonewall, but not Ariva and not any snus product. All those I must order and have delivered by mail.

The new Ariva flavors are mint, cinnamon and citrus (all are 1.5mg).

Something is giving me mouth ulcers, however, and I'm always doing so many new things that I've now got to back up and figure out what is irritating my cheeks and gums. Could be Stevia-soaked snus portions. Could be the new Ariva products. Could be a new supplement I'm using.

It's not my pipe. Not my Java Stonewall. Not my e-cig. What?

My easiest test will be the snus. Stop soaking in Stevia and see what happens. Then I stop Ariva flavors one at a time. We'll see.

TB....Sorry to hear that! I guess the only thing you could do would be eliminate one product at a time to see what's causing the problem.Too bad the Stonewalls do not come in those flavors....the Ariva's really don't pack much of a nic punch for me! That Citrus flavor sounds interesting!

Hope you get better soon!

So what are we supposed to do? I order from the same shop.

 

[TropicalBob]

Katya, I don't have an answer. I intend to strongly encourage my local tobacco shop owner to stock and sell both Ariva and Stonewall (he orders my Jave Stonewall especially for me). I think others would buy and try them.

FYI, Wiz: I'm pretty sure the little mouth sores are from the new Ariva pellets. A small sore popped up instantly today when I put in a Citrus Ariva. Now .. I haven't used Ariva in the past. Too weak. I have used only Stonewall pieces, which do not bother me in any way and haven't for almost four years now. So I think it's something in the new flavoring that is causing a reaction in me.

TB, I am somewhat ignorant on this subject but can you not buy them thru the manufacturer's website?

 

[TropicalBob]

No, you cannot. The manufacturer links to an external sales outlet. And if mail shipments are stopped, you are shut off from online ordering.

I bought my weekly carton of Java Stonewall today and was told there is a severe shortage of that one product. It is on back order. I guess everyone likes the Java one, like me. I don't want the others. Only Java.

 

[hittman]

I am sorry to hear that TB. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you can still get your precious Stonewalls. I kept thinking that I wanted to try them but never did. I guess now would not be a good time to figure out that I like them. If I remember correctly, I was thinking that rite aid is a distributor for them. Do you have any rite aids near you?
