IMHO: PACT Act (alternative title: ...suck my balls)


Disdain among the snus community regarding the PACT Act is nothing new... since it's enactment we've seen the price of snus skyrocket, the cost of shipping from Sweden nearly tripled... the net effect, I end up paying twice what I did when I began snusing.  That said, cigarettes have followed a similar course so the relative savings is still there, but it's been a swift kick in the wallet none the less. As a professional buyer/miser this has been quiet irksome, but even more irritating is all the stuff I'm no longer allowed to get.  My snus orders used to come with all kinds of "prizes".  For instance, I have plenty of General and Ettan apparel from the good ol' days, a GB Rape neoprene laptop sleeve...  and all kinds of other cool shit (bottle openers, pens etc).  I also used to get surprise sample snus with every order (usually new flavors, etc)... and sadly all that has come to and end.  I know what you're thinking... "Adam it's been this way for years why are you bitching now?"  Well, I'm bitching now because of a peripheral seen on buysnus, the General waterproof can, that has a "not for sale in the US" disclosure.  It can't be sold here because it sports a tobacco brand logo... and of course if you've been following my blog, you know that I don't even especially like General... but this piece seems a very practical, affordable and utilitarian alternative to the icetool snusboxes... that I'd happily pay to own, but I'm not allowed to have it, because it bares the name of a tobacco brand that 99.8% of Americans have never even heard of.  As an ode to the douchebags who enact such policy, I sarcastically leave you with the lyrics to the theme song of Team America, World Police *winks*... because shit like this has it playing on a continuous loop in my head... well,   enjoy:

  1. It's truly unfair that foolish items that are available, we can't have because of a advertisement from another country. I wanted the bulletproof can back in its day. I never saw the waterproof can General offered but probably a good thing I look at eBay sometimes I can buy a "collectable"....cool blog man.
