    Changing brand

    Been doing Skruf Stark for a year now, and I am a bit tired of it. Any suggestions to any good, strong brands (not over 15 mg per portion) I could buy a can of tomorrow? =)

      Since you are in Norway my suggestion would be Lucky Strike Bold. 12mg

        Nick and Johnny, 02, and Grov Svart are my favorite stark portions. All either 12 or 13 mg per portion. Gotta try some Nick and Johnny if you haven't yet.

          Scratch what I said, Justin is right. Luckies would be my brand if I could obtain some.

            General Sterk Long? I was a die-hard Skruf Stark addict for many years and now use General Sterk Long 70% of the time with Skruf Stark 30%...

              I'd second that one. I use it quite a bit for my strong portion. Or Thunder Original. Though I know the taste is about to change to the OT version.

                I did get one portion of General Onix. I liked it, perhaps I'll buy a can. But NJ and Jakobssons is interesting too.

                  Offroad orginal portion. They're strong enough... and delicious..

                  General Extra Sterk (not sure if you can tolerate them though) .. i can't and I'm a los user.

                  By the way what snus can you find in Norwegian stores?

                  I've lived in Norway from 1995 - 2000 ... and I vaguely remember there was snus in stores (i didn't use it at that time lol)

                    I can tolerate both Skruf and General Extra Stark, but they do affect muy cardio performance at a higher degree than Starks do.

                    You can find all kinds of snus in Norway. NJ, for instance, is a Norwegian brand, but they distributed it to Sweden later. As far as I know, all Swedish snus can be found in Norwegian stores.

                      Nick and Johnny isn't a Norwegian brand - it's produced by Swedish Match in Gothenburg. As with General Ekstra Sterk and General Sterk (wich is Norwegian for Extra strong and strong), they were produced for the Norwegian market.

                      Generally Norwegians wants stronger snuses because many Norwegians use snus as a way to quit smoking. In Sweden, more people jumps straight to snus.

                        Nick and Johnny is a Norwegian brand even though it is produced by Swedish Match. There are Norwegians working there too, you know. They released NJ for the Norwegian market, and with it's popularity they spread it to Sweden. (Translate http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_and_Johnny somehow if you want a source.)

                        As for the thing about Norwegians snusing in order to quit smoking; this is very much true. Swedes tend to go directly to snus as it's more widespread there. As for me; I went straight to snus.

                          Seems like you're right. I didn't need to translate it, though. If you think about it you know what a "hanske" is. Yes - I am Norwegian

                              No, not all brands. Thunder, for instance, isn't very common in Norway, but specialized tobacco stores has them.

                              These fridges are in all Norwegian stores:
