American tobacco users can you help me?

[bavvoz]

A little now and then i order some stuff from northerner. So far it has mostly been dip but i thought id try some more stuff next time. Problem is that i know nothing about the brands "over there" so i was hoping i could get some advise on:
Chew (have tried red man, mail pouch and stokers cherry. All of em was ok)
Cigars (high quality and/or cheap ones which is still alright)

Quit before you lose your lip. That's my help for you.

Can't stand chew, don't mind snus though.

Ashton cigars are pretty awesome, they sell for around $10 per at my local shop.

I used to work at a headshop we sold cigars.

I like "Acid" brand cigars... they are the smaller ones (forget the fancy name for the cigar size) but they have a silhouette of a guy leaning on a bike with dreadlocks as their "emblem" or w/e. best flavor was vanilla bourbon.
They were lightly flavored and I liked them the best. they were 4.99 or 5.99 per cigar.

Stay away from anything lower than 4 dollars per cigar, in my experience they are never good. Find somewhere that stores their cigars in a humidor or environmentally controlled. If they are just sitting in a box out in the open they are probably really cheap or ruined and/or too dry.

Also most of the ones you will find in a glass tube w/ a cork top are fairly high quality. Most of them.

You can always ask the person behind the counter too, if it's a smokeshop they should be semi knowledgeable... If they are like me they spent a lot of time reading the free cigar magazines vendors give to the headshops.

If that fails just buy the more expensive ones, you can always taste the difference between a cheap 2-3$ dollar cigar or a 10$ cigar. Unless you've never smoked a cigar before.


Sadly I don't know anything about chew... never tried the stuff.

Tip is don't do it. +1 Rumblood.

Why chew tobacco when you can chew betel nuts? For real though I don't think chewing tobacco is worth importing. For cigars just find one of the many cigar afficionado forums online, or sign up for free catalogs from cigar vendors.

The only other thing I have to say on the subject is that snus helped me quit tobacco as a regular habit.

Thanks for answers guys i will check em up Sadly im limited to this one only shop as they are the only ones shipping to sweden. And about comments "dont do it" etc ive been a tobacco user for many years so such comments are well uhm rather pointless :p

About chewing tobacco, its a bit exotic since it does not exist here (except red man imported). I love testing odd stuff

[pingpong]

if you like to smoke cigarillos i have to recommend guajiro aromas from spain, probably the best cigarillo i've ever smoked.

Interesting and should be possible to find here aswell, i will look them up! Thanks

I gave up smoking 5 years ago, but once in a blue moon I enjoy a cigar, one of my favourites is the Romeo y Julieta No.1, some people have said they had some bad ones but every one of those I've smoked has been really enjoyable.

I agree ryj are fine cigars Their snus is horrible though

[StormFaction]

You could also partake in the pipe

I do smoke pipe sometimes aswell but sadly they didnt have any other than the pipe tobacco sold here

Don't know much about chew except everyone in New Mexico who uses it, thinks everything but Copenhagen is shit.  As for cigars.. Backwoods makes a "good" cheap flavored cigar.  Nothing fancy but a pretty decent "any occasion" smoke that won't take hours.
