    ...................Which if you are playing along at home..............would only be 14 Canadian pennies


    Man that sucks

    But this time we at least know the reason.................tax hikes in Sweden..............I suspect we will see more if not all manufacturers following in line.

    Still sucks

      It irritates the hell out of me. You're either gonna pay now, or pay later, but you'll definitely pay. The only legitimate reason for changing product size is if it drops you to a lower tax class altogether, but I doubt that's a concern anywhere.

        This is the first I've heard of this brand. Is it any good at least?

          It's Phantom brown for the American market. I specifically used the Rothbrix name cause maybe Phantom kept the same weight?

            Is there any chance it smells like catshit?

                The plastic sounds delicious but I am not so sure how chocolate and caramel would go with tobacco.

                  It's the plastic flavor that kills it for me. I can almost handle it.

                  The plastic is not delicous though...

                    You know they started doing this with a lot of German beers...going to 11.4oz instead of 12oz bottles

                    I stopped buying the brands that have taken this approach.............just like I stopped buying Skruf when they did it (and also since their quality seemed to go downhill over the last few years).

                    However, this time with snus I have a feeling it will be more wide spread..........If not completely across the board (kind of like the move from 50 grams to 45 grams.........and I believe for much the same reason as before).

                    I hope this is not the case and I will certainly support those brands that do not take this approach.....However, it has been a while since I read the info about the tax hikes so I can't remember all the specifics.............I just remember walking away thinking this day would come.
