Swedish Match to Release Its Strongest Snus?

The Lab Series continues…
05/06 are interesting: 05 because it’s the first white one in the series. It’s somewhat of a departure from what seemed to be one of the 01/02 selling points: All the flavor of an original portion, less drip. No matter. While lab series bags were indeed less drippy than original portions, I [...]


Cigar Show

I’m at the airport as I write this. Today I’m traveling to Las Vegas to the IPCPR, a cigar trade show. Some snus peeps will be there: Swedish Match and Northerner, as far as I know. I’ll post images if I see anything interesting to my Facebook and Twitter, and update drsnus.com once I get [...]


New Snus: General Classic Blend and General Nordic Mint

Two new General snus are set to launch Monday — General Classic Blend and General Nordic Mint — online and in three cities for trials at convenience stores. These two snus will be, for all intents and purposes, the snus you may be able to get at a seven-eleven in the next year or so [...]


Snuson Shop

Looks like the snuson.com shop is up and running. Free shipping right now through May 19. The question is: will my wife kill me if I order more Roda.
Probably not. It’s worth the risk.
Here’s some help if you are in the same position:
If no —> Order.
If yes —> Move out. Then make an order from [...]


Ettan in America

You’ve probably heard the news already… The new snus out in Portland, Boise and Pittsburgh is Ettan loose and original portions. Even though they’re calling it snuff, it’s snus. We can assume that Swedish Match wants sale data for using “snuff” instead of “snus.” Also, there’s a possibility of this someday being available at more [...]


New N&J and Others

In the past week, Swedish Match has announced three new snus (five if you count original and white versions) other that that US one we don’t know the name of yet. Only one will be available in the US. It’s a new Nick and Johnny.

It’s a 15/mg of nicotine mint monster.
Then there’s a Marlboro in [...]


Where’s the New Snus?

SWMA let us know that the new US snus — although we don’t know what the hell it is — will be at some of the following locations on May 2nd:
Pittsburgh:· GetGo & CoGo’s
Boise: Big Smoke & Jacksons
Portland: Plaid Pantry


Snus Rumor Confirmed

Last September, my Swedish Match Rep said something was coming out this summer for brick and mortars.
Well, it looks like he was telling the truth. I got a cryptic email saying that on May 2 a new snus will be released in Portland, Boise and Pittsburgh. I assume these are test markets. It also said [...]


Mini Stars

Swedish Match mini portions are getting stars:

Along with General White, Tre Ankare, Göteborgs Rapé, Onico and the Catch Collection will get all starred up.
Also, the tins look a little different, I think. Maybe more rounded at the edges. It’s tough to tell. I haven’t held a mini snus tin in my hand since third grade.


Snus Contests and News

I sometimes hate telling you about cool contests going on because it decreases my chances of winning. Today I feel generous.
Go make friends with Frank on Facebook. He’s going to give a roll of snus per week to one of his friends. Right now, he has just shy of 200, so your odds over the [...]
