Olde Viking Snus, Gotlandssnus among poor selling Swedish snus
For the apparently few Swedish snus lovers who buy these snus products via the Internet, some offerings from Gotlandssnus, Gustavus, Taboca, and the line of Olde Viking products made by GN Tobacco have/are being dropped by a number of Internet Snus Stores. The original Olde Viking products made at the other factory like Extra Stark Cinnamon will continue to be sold.
SnusCentral.com, BuySnus.com, SnusExpress.com, and an additional number of Swedish Snus eStores will be dropping the these and other products this week. With the proliferation of new snus brands, off-brands, and house brands, some profiteers have moved in for their share of Swedish snus consumers money. Other products no longer being stocked include some older names which have just lost their appeal to the new world-wide generation of Swedish snus users.
Swedish Snus Manufacturers, like any other product manufacturer, evaluate product sales of particular brands and de-list those which are not selling. What is unique about this situation is that the manufacturers have not discontinued these products: the retailers have in response to consumer lack of interest.
This week begins a culling out of those products which snus consumers just don't like or support enough to justify shelf space. They have not necessarily been discontinued by their respective manufacturers; they just will no longer be carried among the participating Swedish Snus eStores once their on-hand stock runs out.
The following have been or will be removed from sale once existing stock is exhausted or expired:
•Gotlandssnus Grey (Gråsnus) Portion Snus
•Gotalndssnus Grey (Gråsnus) Lös Snus
•Gotlandssnus Green (Flader) Portion Snus
•Gustavus Lös Snus (non-USA available product)
•Olde Viking Original Portion Snus
•Olde Viking Ginger Lime Portion Snus
•Olde Viking Spearmint Snus
•Taboca Mini Portion Snus
As with any other product, consumers vote with their wallet. These snus products just didn't get enough votes. Not to worry; there are still over 150 Swedish/Scandinavian great snus offerings left with some interesting new ones on the way!
Enjoy the other great Swedish Snuses out there!
Comment from Moe Unz:
Sorry Feck. Especially the impact of new American snusers is making itself felt. Flader hasn't sold well for a while. It's not like Gotlandssnus doesn't know: Look at the last three Jakobsson's offerings: all designed for the American market theoretically.
Gotlands has lousy/virtually no distribution in Sweden. They don't use SMD like everyone else.

Gotlandssnus AB answer:
The Fläder portion is one of our most sucsessful snus on the internet!!
The "GRÅSNUS" anis portion and loose is our first snus we launched 2002
We have NO plan whatsoever to stop producing or stop selling on the internet regarding the flavours abow..
Were Larry Waters have had his information from, we don´t know and it´s all lies!
This is shame on Larry, since we always had a great contact in the history.
We hope Larry will get the correct information out and stop tell you Snusers all this lies..
One thing i can tell you that is correct is that the Original portion and Original Loose will be sold out on stock and disconinued. This is becolse of the werry low sales rate on the original portion and original loose
For you who want a simular taste you can use: Jakobsson´s classic and Jakobsson´s Classic strong.
We are selling our nicotine free products in the Swedish match distrubution line and SWMD have about 17000 retailers. for you to get the tru story.
We at Gotlandssnus AB hope you all will get the truth in the future.
