How much is Snus in Sweden ?

[alopezg1]

just have to wait five years for an allotment now.....

Looks like growing ones own is the best bet

Believe it brother!

You could get an allotment on my site tomorrow if you lived nearby ... £15 a year. You'd have to do battle with the brambles though! I need someone to come in and kill all the weeds on the derelict plot next door to stop them spreading all their seeds on to mine! Reckon you'd get 500-700 plants on one plot if you didn't grow anything else - that should be enough to keep you in snus for 10 years or so if you could cure it all.

@ squeezyjohn: I am sort of afraid of the TSNA created/left by home curing process. For casual use it´s fine, but everyday... I don´t know.

I buy a single can of ettan lös for 53kr down at the corner store. If i order a roll online from a Swedish tobacco store it's 449kr for ettan lös. If you are staying a couple of days in Sweden I would suggest looking into ordering online. The store i order from ships the same day if an order is placed before 2pm.

And you're right to be concerned about that ... but if you take care in the curing then you can be fairly sure it's not going off the meter. And in a straight fight between home-cured snus and smoking - I would go for the snus every time on health grounds.

Of course - the safest option for health is to give up all tobacco and nicotine products if you can do it (and live your life incredibly healthily too - coz other things are also bad for you) ... I choose snus because I love tobacco but don't want almost certain death!

i thought death was certain anyway?.....

Peter, since you are from Stockholm, do you know a good tobacco shop where I can go and have a look to all the different brands? Possibily where the owner is friendly and speaks English

Well most of the stores here only carry SM brands, some of the brands discussed here I've never seen in the wild. English Is widely spoken don't worry about that.
If you want to visit a specialist store SM has it's own store that is really nice! For a cost you can even create your personal blend!

Thanks for the reply! That reminds me when I met a Swedish girl and offered her some oden's, she told me she never heard about it!
Anyway I'm definitely going to buy only SM, since I can't find that stuff in EU! And their shop seems great, I can't wait for being there

I've never seen Oden's in Sweden, either. Its more like cigarettes there in that people find a brand they like and stick with it, not really overthinking it. One guy I know said he uses Grov because its what he remembers his grandpa using it. Value brands are definitely popular. I've never seen my brother in law use anything but Granit white, and he alone probably uses enough to keep the brand viable. I saw a bunch of people in their early-mid 20s I was hanging with at a bar using Kaliber white. I met these old viking-esque dudes and they were using kronan los. I've only once seen a Swede use flavored, and it was the quite subtle GR #2. I suspect very young people make up the flavored market, which reminds me of cloves and those camel flavored cigarettes when they were around. Whats fun, for me anyway, about snus in Sweden is the freshness and the ubiquity of it in social settings.
