Snus users in Switzerland can thank me, Moe Unz, because you can still buy your snus legally at the SnusCentral.com Snus Shop!
Catching even Swiss legislators and consumers by surprise, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) redefined the definition of "smokeless tobacco" to specifically ban everything except actual chewing tobacco and similarly packaged products sold over the counter in Swiss stores.

I was packing my broom and preparing to travel to Switzerland to beat the bureaucrats at BAG over the head repeatedly when I received good news.
For fear not, Swiss snusers; the BAG

Word of another new XRANGE snus; Grov Slim Large Portion, also leaked out.
I, Moe Unz, was pretty confident that these rumors were correct. I had filled Peter Hagberg, then our Swedish Match e-commerce Manager, with a great deal of whisky before bringing up the rumors.
Peter can hold his liquor but I am no ordinary opponent. He had no chance and no memory of our conversation after waking up in the back seat of his car.
XRANGE General Salmiak Slim Large Portion snus and XRANGE Grov Slim Large Portion snus will be officially released on 1 Feb 2016 but I, Moe Unz, decided to start
By the time this post is published, I, Moe Unz will be quite full of food, drink and snus. Especially drink. That is why I wrote this 2 days ago during a brief period of sobriety. Hopefully it will turn itself on 1 January 2016 (GMT) so you may read it.
