    Lucky Strike? Cuban snus?

    Why can you not order Lucky Strike anymore?

    It was one of my favorite snus and the can was the best in my opinion. I wish I would not have thrown old cans away, how times have changed!

    Also, has anyone had the pleasure fo tasting the "forbiden fruit" which is monte cristo and romeo y julieta snus' from Cuba? Would love to get my hands on some. Maybe next time I'm in the UK visiting family I'll get some. Think I would love this snus since I like strong earthy tobacco flavours.

    Lucky Strike has trademark issues. The EU owners aren't the same as the USA owners, so it can't be sold here. Romeo y Julieta isn't all that. It's a mild snus with a hint of anis. Gotland Grå is better if you think you'd like something like that. The Montecristo lös is very good, and is one I wouldn't mind getting on occasion, but Gotland Gul is similar, and much cheaper/available. The portions aren't anything special. Taboca, Gotland Gul, or Jakobssons Classic would all be suitable substitutes.

      Gotlandssnus' foundations are built on three generations of snus experience, with the first snus on Gotland being produced in 1741. Using Alida tobacco, grown on the island of Gotland, in every one of their snus brands gives their snus a unique flavor that can only be found in Gotlandssnus.

      Gotlandssnus is also the first ones to create a Christmas time snus, Julesnus, that's been a favorite since it's inception in 2003. Below is a list of the brands they produce

      Headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, Fielder & Lundgren is probably the oldest snus manufacturing name in Sweden. Started as a company in 1835, F & L's history has been full of name changes but one thing that has stayed consistent thru out it's 175 year existence, is it's commitment to producing quality Swedish snus.

      Even though the company was started in 1835, it was Samuel Fielder who applied for permission to manufacture snus in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1785. Today, Fielder & Lundgren produces
