I know last time I promised I’d tell you about the interesting people that Chad and I got to speak with. Too lazy today. Instead, I’m going to take you to the part of my story after all the Swedish Match festivities had ended.
Mostly, Chad and I walked around and looked at snus. We didn’t [...]
A lot has happened since my last blog; I went to Sweden to see how Swedish Match makes snus. I’m not going cover everything in this post. Worth mentioning is that, like a dumb ass, I forgot my camera in Austin, so any pictures I post come from Chad or Swedish Match or stolen from [...]
Northerner appear to be ramping up its U.S.-shipped snus offerings. It now features lines from Skruf, V2, F&L, and a broader Swedish Match selection.
All signs point to an even larger selection in the near future.
Check it out here.
Goteborgs Rape line is also getting new clothes. This is, of course, a less drastic change than RL, but I do think it modernizes the look.

Review: I’ve had this bad boy in my fridge for a few months. I tend to shy away from strong snus, too much power for me… I’m sure I could get used to it, but I like my 8 mg portions. Sometimes an 11 or so… That’s about all I’ll use with any regularity. But [...]
So, apparently the people over at Swedish Match are magicians… Catch has changed flavors again. This time, it’s Violet Licorice. I’m interested in trying this, and I have some incoming… Will let you know what it’s like when I get it in.
Also. the next flavor in line for the catch chameleon is Cardamom Cinnamon.
I’d like [...]
Review: I’m a big fan of N&J East and was excited to try this snus. Unlike the East and West versions, which come in strange rectangular tins, Strong comes in a typical round tin. Also, it’s a regular portion, where East and West are white.
Strong doesn’t disappoint. It’s got a woody/smokey flavor mixed with a [...]
Review: General Strong White Portion is one of those snus that isn’t too strong for me to handle, usually. It’s a tad under 50% stronger than your run of the mill snus strengh, like Onyx. Early this morning, when I was attempting my review, it wasn’t so easy on me. I suppose after my night [...]
Review: The first thing you notice when you get a tin of General Onyx Portion is how cool the tin is. It’s one of those classic, just-right designs that appeals to everyone.
Popping the tin open, the snus bags are black, and nicely arranged in the General Star formation. I like the black bags a lot. [...]
Review: The idea behind this snus is somewhat funky — every few months, they change the flavor. The bad side of this is that if you like a flavor, it will soon be gone until who knows when. The good part is that most the flavors sound pretty tasty.
You may remember that it wasn’t all [...]
