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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
As of right now, Euro snusers can’t get snus from Sweden. I don’t know what the story is. Seems like no one does, and I’m not going to hypothesize. Instead, I’ll say that if it stays that way, the EU should be dissolved for being a bunch of fucktards. If not, I have no public [...]
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 [...]
General Smooth White is kind of a surprise. Looks like the case was a hit with Catch White Medium Mint.
It’s drier than your average General White (just 40% water) and it’s a little smaller with less nicotine (7mg/portion).
Looks cool.
Comes out March 1.
Man, Swedish Match already told me this, but then they gave me too much beer, so I totally forgot.
The Kardus 2010 is Javanese tobacco and arrack. Javanese means from the island of Java in Indonesia. Arrack is South Asian rum. I have no idea what it really tastes like, since I don’t get out to [...]
My wife told me today that her Swedish Match sales rep said that the company is going to be releasing another snus for U.S. brick and mortars next summer. Actually, when she told me she said, “In the summer.” I was quite excited for a few seconds until I realized that the summer is pretty [...]
Just got back from Dallas where I bought a few grand worth of cigars off a dude who’s moving his shop. While away from my post here at drsnus.com, a few interesting things came to light.
While in Sweden a few months back, the Swedish Match guys told us about the General Long that they were [...]
Apparently there’s a new catch. It’s called Pure Mint and it’s supposedly a lot like the fresh peppermint from the rotating Catch Chameleon and a long portion similar to 01/02. I’m just going to link Chad’s and Larry’s posts on it. I don’t know any more than they do about it.
While the tin is cool [...]
