A new addition to the Nick & Johnny line of snus, Crushed Ice White, is about to go in my mouth. I’m afraid. Strong snus is no big deal to me, I just leave it in for a few minutes and bail. But extra strong always makes me think that it could give me a [...]
It’s kind of hard to figure out the logic behind the names of the Lab Series snus. 01,02,05,06,07, and now 12. After a few seconds of research, I’m fairly certain that this is not code in numerology or satanism, but I have theory. The namer of this snus is probably communicating to a friend or [...]
So the new snus butik in Stockholm is called, Svenskt Snus, which translates from the Swedish to Swedish Snus. It’s not an extremely original name, but every name I think of as an alternative sounds like a dirty old hip hop tune. I’ve covered in a previous blog what (likely) goes on there. It’s shop [...]
As I reported over a week ago, the New General Snus is Mint. I’ve now had a chance to taste it thanks to our friends at snuscentral. The snus is not very similar to the U.S. General Mint because this new snus is not sweet. It’s peppermint with notes of black pepper and vanilla. At [...]
I rarely look at my Instagram feed, but on election day I didn’t want to look at all you politickers on the Facebook and the Twitter. So I popped open Instagram instead. Here’s what I saw, posted several hours ago by Swedish Match: I’m no Swedish linguist, but that looks like it says, “Welcome to [...]
The Snuff Taker’s Ephemeris keeps getting weirder. The new issue includes softcore plumper porn, a lot of shit about metal and Dracula, and then there’s this advert that is probably the strangest thing in the whole book. (click for larger image) Additionally, I talk about how I got my boss hooked on snus. Go get [...]
Somewhere in Stockholm called Kungsgatan 3, Swedish Match is opening what will undoubtedly become the Mecca for snus enthusiasts worldwide. In fact, Chad from snubie.com has been spotted camping in front of the store, where construction is ongoing, since learning about it last month. The store is planned to open in December 2012. So far, [...]
In September 2011, a time when I was drinking a lot of Calvados, I said that I wanted to see Calvados used in the 2012 Kardus. At the February Swedish Match blogger meeting, I was told that while they experimented with — and likely drank — lots of excellent Calvados in an attempt to make [...]
Nick & Johnny Black Tarmac is a licorice-flavored original portion snus. At 15.4 mg/portion, it has a pretty big bite — like sticking two normal-strength snus in your face. This snus, like the other Nick & Johnnie original portions, is a bit of an oddity. Each portion weighs 1.1 grams and there are 20 in [...]
Two new snus to report. Well there’s kind of a third one, too. Allow me to explain… First, the fifth installment of the Lab Series, called 07, came out in the past week or so. This one is an extra strong white portion, the ying to 06 original portion yang. All we are missing to [...]
