What is the best selling Snus and what are the 5 most popular flavours?

[kevs]

First of all I'd recommend to release plain tobacco taste and some flavored (mint, wg etc), always good to start bit easier, you can always bring out new flavours, but letting snus rot in warehouse because nobody wants to buy it is much worse for business.

[UsualSnuspects]

Roderick, didn't you mention making a white, stainless snus a couple years back? I'd be very interested in that, provided it still tastes like tobacco (Toque Natural/Ettan fan, here).

[AtreyuKun]

First off, I'd like to see you offer a snus kit. Where you buy the raw materials, and cook it up yourself. That would be especially beneficial to you Brits since it's only nasal snuff until the magic happens ;^)

General is at the top for a few reasons, monopoly being a big one. It's also classically flavored, and could be considered the SP of the snus world. I'll throw my 5 down here, but don't take it as necessarily good advice. I'm kind of a traditionalist, and I don't know that my tastes reflect the greater worldwide market.

Bergamot a la General
Plain a la Ettan, Pioneer
Juniper NOT like Göteborgs Rapé LIKE the old LD Blue where the juniper tasted like fresh branches rather than gin.
Licorice
Coffee Not overpowering coffee. More like a plain that hints at coffee.

^^^This. That it is all.

Wow it would be amazing to get some ettan-like snus from toque..

Good to see you posting Roderik. So you are finally going to make the jump into snus. Make a few flavors and make them right and you will do just fine. I would say.......

Some kind of coffee snus, must have hints of vanilla or chocolate. But not a straight coffee only as it may be too bitter.
Any one of Wintergreen, spearment, or mint. those always sell. Be different....make a spearmint
Licorice is always a good choice but there are a few people that just can't stand that flavor. You can't please everybody
Of course a natural tobacco with a bit of smokey
And posssibly a vagina flavored snus. You can be the first on the block to capture the aroma. Surely everybody will at least have to try it, besides 1 week out of every month it will taste completely different than the rest of the month. yea....that'll work.

I'm sure you will have a decent following. Good luck mate.

Ok, looking like the number one has to be an SP (bergamot) with a good tobacco, cedar, cigar base and a floral undertone. Number two is veering toward minty freshness maybe spearmint. Wintergreen bothers me. All I get is mouth-wash. I keep looking for frozen pine trees but, just don't get it. Any ideas? Cafe mocha has potential. Fruit flavours should work well maybe with a hint of menthol. I really love 'The Northerner Citrus/Menthol' but we wouldn't copy, I'd quite like to try a cherry menthol flavour. What do you guys think?

Cafe mocha los sounds like a plan

Edit:

SP (bergamot) with a good tobacco, cedar, cigar base - That works, but i'd drop the floral undertone

Wintergreen NO

Fruit flavours, that works for me

I'd like a peppertmint not spearmint

cherry menthol is not for me

[Roo]

Cherry Menthol sounds pretty good, a la Halls Vapor Action

[justintempler]

Licorice (not anise) I think would work on both sides of the pond.

For a weird one, how about bitter lemon and ginger?

I'd run with bitter lemon, but GINGER, that's just wrong Having said that, jamaican ginger cake might work

Maybe a Burnt Heroin/Smoked Crack to appeal to the vagrant urban crowd?

[Premium Parrots]

come on now.......there are several successfull vagina flavored snuffs available. It has to be a winner with snus too.

I'd be up for one that smelt like a good weed

[Toque Snuff]

We were doing fine. Where did it all go wrong?
