    We got a little bit more yesterday. It was really annoying on the way home. It was really small and melted and froze as it hit the windshield. For some reason, our road crews are doing a less than great job getting the roads cleared. Some were better than others this morning but none were great.

    Why I live down south :w00t:

    It usually doesn't get that cold here in SA, but every now and then a cold front will make it here. When I was stationed at Randolph Airplane Patch many many moons ago, we had a cold snap where it stayed below freezing for about two weeks. Burst water pipes all over the city! They don't build to withstand long periods of freezing temps down here.

    Is the melon subtle or more prominent? I do like melon and would prefer a more "in your face" flavor like the Mint.

    To me it’s very prominent. However if I keep a portion in too long then it gets a little funky. It’s good for 1-1.5 hours then has to go.

    Ok. Next question. Any US suppliers? I just checked shipping from Europe. Oh HELL NO!

    Northerner is the only one I know of and they have a very limited selection. Not to mention they still have to ship with adult signature so the shipping will probably be at least $15. The shipping cost from Sweden is why most of us buy in bulk and get at least 6 months worth at a time and store the extra in a freezer. Sometimes one of the Sweden sites will run deals where you get two or five extra cans with each roll purchased which helps to offset the shipping price. I know going in that any time I place an order that I'm probably looking at around $40 for shipping.

    **sigh**

    Was afraid of that. I can get General here at the local QT gas station. It's over 6 bucks a can, but compared to ordering online, it's a steal. Guess we're going to get that small chest freezer after all with me claiming a bit of space for future Sweden orders. :lol:

    Shipping is relative to how much you order. My last order was $56 shipping, but I ordered 118 cans, so that was only $0.47 per can, which puts the General Mint I ordered at $3.95 a can (also no sales tax). I talked to someone in an area that had General in the store (no store anywhere close to me has Swedish Snus) and it was over $8 + tax, Florida is high on tobacco prices. When I order, I order close to a years supply so I can get the cost per can down to a livable price. Ordering 20 or 30 cans you get hammered with the shipping. My first 3 orders I was getting all different cans so I could find out what I liked (tried 55 different ones), and I paid for it with the shipping. I only order 4 different Snus (5 if they were to bring back the Thunder Raspberry :( ), and I do about the same mix every day, so with a little math I can figure out how many cans I need for the year. It's a lot of money at once but you save a lot on shipping.
