Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
If they sell it, yes, it would be pretty ridiculously high. You might get lucky with an official vendor giving out free samples. They did that with Spirit Tobacco last year and some years before.
I am buying a roll before I leave home. Usually you can get a gas station to sell you an unopen roll from stock, if not check a tobacco store. If you keep it in the cooler it will stay nice.

At Echo Project they had a Skoal tent. I bullshitted on their little clipboard thing. And took a couple samples. Dude working the tent goes "is that all you're gonna take?"
"Can I have more?"
"Take what you want."
* opened backpack and shoved 10 cans and about 15 american spirits packs in there *
WIN
dipping at bonnaroo = no win
too hot/you're too dehydrated/it's folking bonnaroo
don't remember ever seeing a skoal tent at broo though.

I have a slightly different, but sort of the same, tobacco dilemma. I quit smoking about 4 months ago and don't really think about it much on a day-to-day basis. However this is my sixth year going and my first year going as a non-smoker. I've been trying to decide if I want to take a pack or two, to stay in my normal 'roo element, or if I should just stay tobacco-free. I think I could maybe enjoy a few cigs over the weekend and leave it behind, but I don't know if it's worth the risk of slipping back to a pack a day. Any suggestions?

^I was in the same exact position as you before this past Voodoo Fest. Except I wasn't smoking a pack a day, but addicted nonetheless. Anyway, hadn't smoked for months. Got a free pack of spirits assuming it would be for that weekend only...annnnd here I am now, smoke free for only a week. I say do your best not to smoke. And when you want one, think about the nastiest stuff you've coughed up.
I've decided to leave my 21 ID at home to prevent me from entering the Spirit tent.

Thanks for the solid advice! It would be dumb to test my convictions at this point. If I really feel I NEED one at any point, I'm sure I can find one person out of my 80,000+ Bonna-family to give me one.
All this time and I never realized there was a Spirit tent. Perhaps I should leave my ID in the car.

I wanted to quit smoking after I was berated one evening by a drunk doctor. But the summer festie season is not the most oppportune time to quit imo. Im waiting until winter to try.
If you've successfully quit, don't start again. i didn't smoke at all at Roo last year and was fine with it. I didn't even want one because I had quit for over 6 months at that point for an ex gf. After we broke up, I thought I'd just smoke at parties, when drinking etc... Now I smoke way too much but not even close to half a pack a day. Somedays I don't smoke at all.
actually, now that I think about it, the only time I smoke is when I'm with Wolfaroo. Damn you.

Yeah, I kept thinking "well I'll keep a pack in my backpack, JUST IN CASE" but I know it would be too hard to get back on that wagon once I'm home if I do. Even though it's been four months and I'm fine most of the time, anytime I get slightly stressed, nervous or even bored I want one. I obviously don't have enough of a grip to casually and infrequently smoke at this point.
Hey, we live in the same city! Bloomingtonroooooo! Perhaps we should meet at the Vid for a pre- or post-Bonnaroo drink?

I'd be down for that. I'm not sure what time we are leaving on Wednesday. I think we're leaving early to get to Nashville to meet other inforoo peeps for several drinks then hitting Victor Wooten's bar after that before we go into Roo. PM me your FB or cell. We'll see if we can work something out.

Where was the American Spirit tent? I am interested to try some American spirit, I have only ever had skoal, and tried cope and grizzly once but they were both awful.
I hear where you are coming from with the dipping at bonnaroo is a bad idea there is nothing worse then trying to dip while you got pasties. But I must try, If I don’t get my morning dip I get cranky lol.

I tried spirits for the first time at Hangout. They were......odd. They're packed so tight and burn forever. I had to actually loosen the tobacco in the cig to get it to burn.
