Skoal and Copenhagen - Just add water?

[Ryanf]

There is a big recall on snuff right now I'm sure that probably has to do with it.
They need some way to sell there product

[chasingtail]

The recall was because of possible metal filings in the chew, shelves are bare right now even the just add water stuff is gone which actually was pretty good. Going to give it another shot to quit since the stores are out made it 7 months last time.

Perhaps we should tattoo them. Or round them up for some sort of awareness training.

I just bought the last log in rocky here hope we get some soon!

[Smokinyotes]

Wife and dzughter just brought me back a couple logs from vegas. I tried the copenhagen custom that you add water to. I dont care for it.

[ForwardBias]

I add coffee to the cope custom, nice flavor. I crossed into BC, and filled up my reserves. Its cheaper.

How long does it take to get an order and what do they charge you for duty on 1 can?

[stinkynuts]

1.5-2 weeks sometimes faster but for the price its worth the little bit of Hassle to order 1 a day once they start coming its all down hill from there

Depends on the cbsa agent, sometimes I can get a log without tax, sometimes I can't get 1 tin. Ordering or buying 1 tin in the US, you don't qualify for any exemption unless you have been in the US for at least 24hrs....last I checked at least.

If outrageous taxes on tobacco are justified in the name of health concerns/dangers from the tobacco ?

Then there should be a similar tax per 100grams on Big Macs , Dominos pizza and sugar saturated donuts and candies and soft drinks ,,,,

I'm afraid not. Snuff or chewing tobacco that remains in your mouth and close to your brain causes horrible diseases. People in the US who get that type of Cancer don't just drop dead but lose their lower jaw. They have to eat everything by putting it through a blender first. Once they are diagnosed they may live another 6 months with many hospital stays, Americans without health care coverage lose their houses. In Canada our health pays.

To the fellows who have quit, thank you because $30.00 a can doesn't near cover it. To those who still chew just have a look at some of those pics where young otherwise healthy men have CA of the jaw.

Exactly. Although those on their high horse would rarely indulge in any of the above foods or drinks.....

Does your jaw just fall off??My Lord this is terrible!! I'm gonna quit this second!!! NOT!!

I like the new chew, only problem is you have to prepare.

They say after you add water you you have to leave it for a certain amount of time which is a couple hours.

Just brought back 15 tins of Grizzly from Whitefish. 2.50 a tin haha
