Changing brand

[precious007]

The only cans I recognise are some General cans down the bottom of the fridge...

And lucky strike at the top... ??

You can't get all kinds of snus in normal shops, but in most cases, you can find them on specialized tobacco shops, as my Norwegian fellow Hanske said. Romeo y Julieta is another example.

From what I've heard from other people, General, Skruf, and Nick & Johnny are the most popular brands in Norway. I would recommend trying Lucky Strike Bold, since we Americans can't get access to it.

Why can't you get Lucky Strike?

I see Red Man Chew in that pic.

Why can't you get Lucky Strike?

The R.J. Reynolds tobacco company (American) owns the the Lucky Strike trademark, so Lucky Strike snus is prohibited from being shipped to America, since B.A.T. (international) does not own the copyright to the Lucky Strike brand in the United States.

Ah... Too bad

I see Red Man Chew in that pic.

Where?

We can't get Swedish Camel either. In Sweden Camel's trademark is owned by JTI, In the USA it's owned by RJ Reynolds.

Yeah me too red man in the middle left corner. RM is a swedish match brand and where they list the ingredients for it on their website when you select europe they have redman and a few other varieties. I don't know if it's popular in europe but the thought of people in france or germany chewing redman is an interesting idea. I'm wondering do you guys have dip (skoal, copenhagen, grizz) over there (not necessarily at gas stations but at tobacconists or some place).

[Hanske]

The Bergen based tobacco store M Sørensen imports some American dip brands. Dip isn't very popular here, so they only import small quantities when requested. They have an online store, so the sales may have raised a bit, but still dip isn't very common. I don't know any dippers, and most Norwegians don't even know what it is.

I believe Skoal and Grizzly is the most comon import.

when i was in norway to visit a friend in 2003 the only snus i could find was general lös, is it more now or is it just that i went to the wrong stores?

You went to the wrong stores. Other brands have been here for years. Until 2005, we had a big snus production here in Norway, as well..


I see your post is over a year old...
