Mine shipped out this morning, and I did get the shipping email with tracking number. Looking back at the site it only shows this one order in my history. They must not have been able to pull history from the old site to the new site. My order is moving along, already in Germany, showing projected delivery of Monday, most likely will be 30 miles from me at the distribution center on Saturday. So for me, shipping is running same as always.

    I swear that every time I order snus that my wife goes out on purpose so there’s no one home to sign for it. There was a note on the door from ups that it’s rescheduled for Monday now. What a bummer! I was looking forward to trying some new stuff this weekend.

    Mine arrived this morning as the UPS guy knocked on the door, then retreated to the gate I have at the top of the steps and closed it. The three dogs must have made him decide to move to a safe area.

    I went out and he started apologizing about the box (it was opened on both ends, looked like it got caught in a machine on the way. He then started asking about snus saying he does the nicotine pouches. I gave him the quick low down and let him know you could get it in some convenience stores but bought in volume from Sweden was much cheaper.

    He thanked me for the info and started walking awayn and I went into the house and had a thought. I quickly opened a roll and pulled out a can, went out and yelled to him. He got half way back and I said "Here" and threw it to him. Of course the trash lid came off and I explained you can use that area to put the used ones. He said thanks twice before I went back inside.

    Hitt, did you get your order and did you have Mint on it? I opened a can before i moved it to the freezer and it seems to have a different taste. Either that or the cold I've developed makes it taste different.

    Note- I see you did receive, I guess I hadn't updated before I posted.

    I didn’t order mint this time. I bought a bunch of different nic pouches and half a roll of Jakobsson strong cola. I’m good on mint so just did a fun order. Did you notice the pull strip on the mint? You don’t have to use your fingernail to open them any more.

    I just got around to trying some of the new order of General Mint, I think it taste different also, not bad different, but not the same. I always try some fresh as most in the freezer is old, so I just like to see the difference, which has not been much over the years. Also it seems dryer, not as much moisture as I remember on fresh snus. I looked online and could not find anything saying they changed it.

    I haven’t bought any new mint the last couple orders so couldn’t say but I haven’t seen anything online about a change.

    I was actually not sure if I liked it at first, but five cans in, it has grown on me. As far as dryness, I couldn't speak to that as the newest snus I've had recently was over two years old before this order.

    Just checking in as my link didn't work today for some reason.
    It’s good to hear from you. This thread is pretty much dead. I’m still using mostly general and jakobsson but got a bunch of 77 nicotine pouches on my last order that I’ve been working into my rotation.

    Yeah, I noticed, of course the thread is, "Olderthandirt" being originally started December 16th, about 14 1/2 years ago and the inspiration that got me off a two and a half pack a day habit that surely would have me in ashes by now.

    I guess many who were here back then are no longer with us as it amazes me that I still am. As much as I disagreed with Tropical Bob politically, I still thank him for getting me here and away from cigarettes.
    If I manage to make it 8 1/2 months more, I'll have lived longer than my dad and reached 15 years without a single puff on a cigarette. That's something I couldn't imagine happening back then. Speaking of which, when I got in here, I noticed my banner for the first time in forever.
    I haven't adjusted for the cost of cigarettes in years and it still shows $150k saved since quitting and I know it costs more than the outrageous price they were charging in NYC back then around here.

    I wonder how some of the oldies are doing that have vanished over the years?

    I tried to stay in touch with OTD and one or two others but lost touch over time. I miss Twisted Victor. He was a big help to me. Bob was almost gone when I started here. I remember watching his videos on plume. I’ve been vaping almost 15 years now but haven’t been cigarette free the whole time. I am now though and still can’t believe I finally gave up that one morning cigarette each day.

    Guys, what's the deal with General Mint becoming unavailable? I had to do a deep search to find a company over there that still has it. I got an email from Snus Direct saying they're not carrying it any more.

    I have an order of 100 cans coming from Snusport. They were the only online outfit that I could find that still has it.
