Yes, if anyone can tell me where I can find Red Man chewing tobacco. I don't care how much it costs.

Anyone know where to get Swedish SNUS? I saw dip and chew in Itaewon but I want to keep my mouth and jaw intact.

Also re - mailing - I ordered some U.S e-liquids for my e-cig as they are 4 times the price if you buy in Korea and they got stopped at customs and are probably being tested as we speak and if I'm lucky I might get them in about 6 weeks or so.... So be careful.

No, I really don't. All you guys need to 'sensible up.' Wink

Would someone be kind enough to update a response on this matter? I'm looking for some pouches/bandits in Seoul (I'm centrally located). Price isn't a major factor but I have no clue where to start looking. I have a decent supply of loose chew with me but the bandits are less messy and mainly what I'm trying to find.

If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, if anyone knows where to buy Red Man chewing tobacco here, the location of the store would be much appreciated.

I've been dying to get my hands on the stuff for over a year. I can't seem to find it anywhere here.

This one is easy.

www.northerner.com

If you like Red Man chew, it'll run you $4.75 USD.

If you like US dip (eg: Skoal, Cope) you will pay $4.00 USD.

If you want Swedish-style snus (portion pouches or loose) you are looking at $3.00-4.00 USD.

The American stuff ships outta the States and the Swedish stuff ships outta Sweden.

Shipping costs about $1.00 per item. I have never had problems with customs with this company. I get my shipments within one week.

Don't bother buying from the Hamilton or the grocery store on Hooker Hill. Unless you like poor selection and simply have too much money.

Hit me up with questions if you have any.

Also: Thumbs up to the Surfer Rosa handle!

I forgot to mention they have nasal snuff at the northerner.com

Toque is rad.

...and if you still use American tobacco (dip or chaw) you really need to get on the Swedish snus bandwagon. Seriously...once you use Swedish smokeless tobacco, you never go back to the garbage that the USA produces.

Costco doesn't sell smokeless tobacco. Koreans don't know what smokeless tobacco is. With the smoking bans in effect, you think they'd love it. They already spit on the ground every 60 seconds.

So I read this and thought the guy above worked for northerner.com or something but i ordered anyways. I ordered 2 tubs of Stoker's Wintergreen (1 tub is equal to 10 cans) and it's amazing. Tastes very similar to Kodiak, not as good but for $9.40 a tub I can suck it up!

With shipping to Seoul and the TWO tubs I paid $35 and got 20 cans of dip. Amazing. Each tub comes with a refillable can, they don't mention it on the website.

Shipping was not as fast as mentioned above though, this may just be bad luck but it took 18 days for it to reach me. I just about gave up and thought I was scammed. I used regular shipping (no tracking number) but you can use UPS and get a tracking number.

No calls from customs.

Will buy from here for now on!![/url]

I used to buy from the foreign food market in Itaewon. As of a month ago it cost 10 large for any and all tins. Selection is iffy. Depends on the day ya go. They carry the big North American brand names; Skoal, Cope, Kodiak. If you get there the week they have it shipped it�s a decent selection. But when they�re running low you�ll have to live with Skoal Peach or Cotton Candy or whatever other lip gloss flavors Skoal makes. lol

I�m giving the northerner a try. I�m with you cj1371, I�m on day 10 and starting to get a little skeptical if it will come. I�m glad yours arrived, now I got a second wind of hope. I purchased Kodiak and some Redman. Both decent prices, even compared to purchasing it in the PWN (taxes). I�ll repost once the shipment arrives.

Props to GoldSoundz if it all works out.

Could someone fill me in on what Swedish SNUS is? I have no idea. You like the flavor or does it have no additives?
Happy chewin my friends!

I don't even dip, or smoke much for that matter, but the
SNUS pouch is quite satisfying. A friend used to gum these
a while back and I'd get a pouch from him every now and then.

Hey, thanks for the link. I'm still thinking about going off the stuff, but I am a huge Grizz Wintergreen fan. I just assumed I'd never get my paws on it in South Korea. I wish I would have known about northerner.com before. In Washington state I'm paying about six bucks a puck.

Awww, I have one last big guy in before I fly over. Good dippin', guys.
