Chicago (burbs) local snus retailer?

[mgiah]

I've tried the Camel and Marlboro branded snus and wasn't impressed. I went looking on B&B since I've seen a couple references and found all I ever wanted to know about snus, except a place to find it locally.

I tried the online route, but I'm not paying $13 to ship a couple bucks worth of product. My local tobacco shops were a bust, so anyone in the NW 'burbs know of a place to find some snus (other than the Camel and Marlboro)?

agree - that's what I'm looking for locally - a retailer that sells it so my cheap self doesn't have to pay excess shipping.

Dunno about the burbs, but a quick google search gave me this:

*If you haven't already, check out iwan ries. I have seen their selection of snus. quite impressive. I think they have a special fridge to keep it in perfect condition.

No need for a special fridge, I throw mine in the freezer and they keep. For even longer term storage (past 2 months) it's good to put them in freezer bags to avoid any moisture from escaping. Although, if snus dries out, you just spritz some water on it and it's almost as good as new.
