What snus is for sale at Arlanda Airport?

[Ansel]

Hi,

What snus is on sale at Arlanda airport? (it's likely i will only have time to go to the Snusidor there)

Thanks.

Hi Ansel,

from my experience they only sell classic Swedish Match brands like Ettan and General (mostly portions) but snus is overpriced at Arlanda. Am I right in thinking you will be changing flights at Arlanda?

If you have 3 or 4 hours between your flights I would suggest taking express train to town (20 minutes in one direction). There is a very good snus store near the railways station in Stockholm, its called Kungstobak (King's Tobacco), at 68 Kungsgatan Street. The store has become very popular among Finnish snusers and carries rare brands like Gotland and V2.

Even though I cannot really afford it at the moment I am going to visit this store next week to stock up. I am sick and tired of all this nazi propaganda, therefore I will be getting myself a year's supply of snus.

Hi Jan, thanks.

Well i will only be changing flights to come back to the UK so i will only be at the airport a couple of hours i think.

So i won't be able to get on the train anywhere, unfortunately. I will just have to make do with what is on offer at the airport. Do you know if they do Skruf there? Or is it just SM products?

I would buy a years supply but i fear bring that much back might not be possible, but i don't know that for sure.

Well, it was only SM last time I was there (about 2,5 years ago). I did not spot anything rare or anything eye catching.
However, from what I remember reading here on snuson, the offer has somewhat improved in the last couple of years so I guess you should find Skruf at Arlanda.. but again, all Arlanda snus is hugely overpriced.

Please report on your findings upon return!

Can you delay your return flight? I'd do it even if I had to stay in the airport overnight. Sleeping in a chair for a few hours is a small price to pay for the peace of mind a freezer full of snus brings.

I am not sure, Ansel, depends on the quantity... you should not have any problems if its 4 or 5 rolls but they may have questions to ask you if its 10 or 15 rolls.

I am going by ferry myself this time....

thanks Jan

will do

heck, it can't be any more overpriced then what i have paid for snus before.

cheers

hope your snus trip is successful too :-)

Hi Ansel,

I managed to stuff a few rolls of General Extra Stark in my baggage on a surprise transfer at Stockholm Arlanda a few months back.

It's really pretty expensive. Felt like about £45-£50 for a roll for Swedish Match stuff of which they have most varieties in the snusidor. They also had other common brands like Lucky Strike & Skruf ... unfortunately I was massively hung-over and not prepared to be even transferring there so I didn't pay my normal attention to what was going on! My translating of Swedish Krona to Pounds sterling might be a bit out!

Cheers
