    For you Skruf fans.

    Check out this website. Interesting history and info, but new snus.

    http://www.skruf.net/

    Looks like in February they're coming out with white portions in regular and stark. Weird, their portions are pretty dry as it is..

    Anyway, I didn't realize they made Davidoff cigarettes too. I bought a pack once. I must have had money burning a hole in my pocket, or was embarrassed to change my mind after the clerk rang them up. I remember they were pretty good though.

    The company history section is very interesting.

    BTW... what is tranbar(sp) like? Is it a stark portion? This is one of the few portions I have not tried.

      The tranbar has a very mild cranberry flavor. It is supposed to have 9mg of vitamin N. I like it, if you want more cran flavor try the offroad version.


      A white Skruf sterk? I'm sold.

        I knew this was bound to happen. I'm curious to see what the can design will be like!

              Try new lxskllr post! Now sarcasm free!! :^D

              I'll add that I'm happy to see a non Swedish Match company expand their line. It might not be my choice, but anyone that can chip away at the SM monopoly is ok in my book.

                Honestly what's the appeal of white portions? I really never felt Skruf portions were runny.

                I want to see more loose varieties. Actually I want to see quality loose additions. I'm apprehensive of wasting any more money on portions that seem to just be a bad photocopy of a loose I like.

                I really dig Skruf Stark loose. Sometimes the Stark is too much. I haven't opened a can of it in over a month just because I like to bake a fat pris after supper. I haven't seen Skruf loose at any online merchants.

                I don't see why they don't roll out their tranbar as loose. It's nice and subtly flavored. Not exactly "cranberry" flavored to me, but I don't necessarily like cran.

                The website is nice and flashy though. Since they've been "acquired" by a cigarette company I guess the innovation that brought them to market is dead.

                We'll see. I fear that the market is being driven by the overwhelming amount of us ex-smokers who can't loose at work. That doesn't mean I don't want loose snus though. I may use portions 3 - 1 but if everyone stops making loose snus I'm gonna be pissed. I'm already bummed about the ones I never got a chance to try.

                  Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                  I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                    I love Skruf Stark, but I doubt I'll buy the white portions. The regular are dry enough already...
