Burnie, I don't remember ever having had my orders stopped by the FDA but I'm not surprised. My last order was here in about three working days.
Don't really know what is holding it up, but it has been bouncing around in Louisville, KY since the 1st. Not worried about it, but it should have been here yesterday. I'm really liking the Snus and am about to run out, don't really want to buy any more Camel if I don't have to. Hopefully it will start moving soon.

Congrats! It will be interesting to see if it happens again in the future. My guess is no. Enjoy your new stuff.

As to vaping, I ran out of the zero nic I had used for the last few months and opened a 12mg bottle. I liked the zero nic much better. I could get a more flavorful hit, probably because I inhaled more liquid per puff. The good thing is that this bottle will last a lot longer than the 0 nic. I get everything I need from the snus at this point so I'm good to go now regardless of what the FDA does.

On a side note, I found out that TB has a pretty advanced stage of COPD. He's still as ornery as always though.

Nope, Olderthandirt is our founding father way back in March of 2009. However, he memorialized TB in the first post for driving the smokeless effort on ECF. This thread began nearly 5 months before I started vaping and 6 months more before I stumbled into it thanks to TB. We're fast doing a countdown to the 10 year anniversary of the thread and are probably approaching the third reiteration of thread. I think the cutoff was in the 14000s and we're at 8949 when I push the button. If even half of the people were still around and posting regularly, the split would have happened already.

LOL, funny that you arrived at one of my dogs, close, since T Bear was my golden retriever that I lost like 4 years ago. Now my goldendoodle is at the 10 year mark, I believe. Now I'm getting nostalgic- Gutter, Axl, Skrymr, The Wiz, Stubby and most of all Twisted Victor, Where have you gone?

My OCD struck after that last post. I was trying to remember when Vic disappeared and it was ages ago. He had disappeared months earlier after he announced he was having issues and went to Fla. to deal with them. Then out of nowhere, he sent me the following PM, but never returned to this thread. Nov 12, 2011-

I'm so sorry I missed your birthday. I'm just catching up to current posts and it took me by surprise. Please accept my belated apology by enjoying this list of b-day wisdom.

Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you are a cheese.

Inside every older person is a younger person – wondering what the hell happened.

Statistics show that the people who have the most birthdays live the longest.

Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs.

People ask me what I’d most appreciate getting for my eighty-seventh birthday. I tell them, a paternity suit.

If I’d known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.

You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime.

To me, old age is always 20 years older than I am.

Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

I didn’t forget your birthday, I just forgot today’s date!

You’re birthday reminds me of the old Chinese scholar…….. Yung No Mo.

Two elderly men are sitting on a bench outside a retirment home and one says, “Ted I am 83 years old now and I’m just full of aches and pains. I know you’re about my age how do you feel?”

Ted says “I feel like a newborn baby!”
“Really? like a newborn baby?”
“Yep no hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants!”

So far, this is the oldest I have ever been.

A toast to you! May you live to be as old as you look!

When asked how old I am I reply, “Old enough to know better, and young enough to do it again!”



Every once in a while, special people are put on this earth. People with deep passion, immense love for others. People with hearts much greater than average, and today, one of them would like to wish you a happy birthday.
Happy Birthday, Brother
-Vic :p

Always the best humor, always missed.

    I miss TV and the rest too. OTD came back for a while but disappeared abruptly and I have no idea what happened to him. The Wiz still pops in to the emerald city once in a while but I see him more on FB. As a matter of fact, I just sent him some silver leaf menthol I found in my stash.

    Enjoy! Let us know what you think.
    Will do. Even though I am a NooB to Snus, I figured I would put in my input of what I thought of each of the 17 that I got. I figure I will try a different one ever day or two to see which ones I like.

    I am going to for sure on my next order get a can of Snubie Brandy Alexander to try, it just came out after I placed my order. :(

    Well Crap :-x
    I found out ONE flavor I don't like, "Bergamot", only problem is it is in most of what I ordered. :(
    I have ruled out 12 (tried one pouch of each, and had to spit it out) of the 17 cans, not a good average. :grr:
    All that's left are 2 General Mint, 2 Epok, and 1 Thunder, but those will tide me over until another order gets here. :)
    I'll be putting together another order sooner than I was anticipating. :rolleyes:
    At least now I know ONE flavor to look for and avoid. ;)
    Only problem it is not always listed, 2 of the ones have it, but don't list it. :sneaky:
    Oh well, live and learn. :2cool:

    Bergamot is an acquired taste indeed. I've grown to enjoy it quite a bit but it took some time. When I first started snus I wanted to try everything and after all my experimentation I ended only really liking a few. You'll find that your taste will change over time. Some you started out liking will fade and something else will take it's place. I was sucker for Jakobsson and Offroad for quite a while. Now I can't really stand either one. So throw the ones you don't like in the freezer and revisit them from time to time to see if you changed your mind. ;)

    I agree. Don't get rid of them. Save them and try again at a later time. Only snus I've thrown away so far is wintergreen. However, I am considering throwing out the thunder gingerbread I got last holiday season. I just can't take a liking to it.
