The war against tobacco and especially REAL Swedish Snus gets ugly:  on June 22nd, the Tobacco Act goes into effect and on June 29th, The PACT Act kicks in as well. 

What this means for US Residents is no more Swiss Post/US Postal shipments as of June 22nd.  It means that Skruf brand snus will no longer be available in the United States...a few other brands as well.

It means all tobacco product branded merchandise; free or for sale, will be illegal.  SnusGEAR.com will be deleting all it's Thunder Snus and Offroad Snus branded shirts, caps, mugs, mousepads and more by June 22nd 2010. 

If you want a piece of snus history, buy it now or wait until it shows up on eBay for 4 times the price!

It means that all US Federal, State, and Local tobacco taxes, excise taxes, and sales taxes must be collected when you place your order.

The bottom line for US Residents is that for the immediate future, Swedish and Scandinavian Snus will be higher priced with less brands available.  The details and discussions are available at SnusCENTRAL.org.

If you haven't filled up your freezer and refrigerator with enough snus yet, now is the time!
