Just come across some Pure Nordic here in Copenhagen, bought the ice mint and the original strong portions. Gotta say both are very good, usually a General man myself, but this is a slick product. Seems the Danes are catching on; I'd recommend it! =)
Pure Nordic snus?

I ran across a Norweigan article that explains the details. I don't know if the recipe is the same but it's made by V2 in Denmark. This is the the Norweigan version of SnusX where you have to add water. Because Norway has high tobacco taxes, by reducing the amount of water in the product, the amount of tobacco tax being paid is reduced substantially which means Pure Nordic can be sold for half the price of regular snus in Norway.
.....
- This is what I will revolutionize the snuff industry, says Alexander Fürst Aune and promises a black vacuum seal[ed bag] with the inscription Pure Nordic Classic from the desktop.
The bag containing portion packs with snuff corresponding ten boxes. The only significant difference is that snus portions contain only 22 percent of the moisture that is usually added during production.
- It works like this: Buyers fill an empty box of portion snus, add about 90 milliliters of water and put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, they have a package portion snus for a quarter of the price, says Fürst Aune.
Challenging the tobacco tax
The grip means that import costs are drastically reduced, when tobacco taxes on smokeless tobacco is based on weight.
- In practice, this means that you get a box portion snus for 29 million.Today, the retail price between 65 and 89 million, he said.
The snus produced in Denmark's largest tobacco shop, including behind the snuff box V2 Tobacco......

They must be doing pretty good because they've managed to piss off a government official who is complaining that Pure Nordic is using a loophole in the law and thy're worried that if the practice expands more of the children will start using snus...... http://www.budstikka.no/økonomi/hels...snus-1.6629573
