Swedish Match Snus Strength (PS Kronan Is Delicious)

[Monkey]

If you saw some of this “research” in the other thread, I copied it over here because I wanted to talk about this. This all started because I’ve taken a few normal “Swedish Match” size pinches of Kronan and they have literally kicked me in the teeth with nicotine strength. I keep it low and that’s why I love los, I am able to take a smaller pinch than a portion and get more portions per tin…but knowing whereabouts the nicotine content is in a snus is key. I don’t want to catch a buzz, I want to keep from smoking.

How does Swedish Match denote strength? I can’t find it on their website so we are kinda at the mercy of the retailers to report it. According to my best research and what I could see in pictures on websites, here is what I have found.

G3 4 dots 26mg/g
G3 3 dots 15-18 mg/g
Kronan Stark Original 15mg/g (no dots?)
Kronan Stark White 12mg/g (no dots?)
Kronan Original 2 dots 8.5mg/g
Kronan White 8mg/g (no dots?)

Can anyone help me connect the dots? (That joke was so good kept it in this post haha)

Kronan los has two dots…and it feels to be to me more than the quoted 7-7.5 on websites. I’m thinking 11-13mg/g. This stuff hits with the nicotine harder than I expected, and I understand that is subjective, but I feel it stronger than something like Röda 7.5mg/g and Mustang 10mg/g (which are my other two open tins at the moment). Same size pinch of Mustang hits less than the same size pinch of Kronan.

Now I know it could be the PH, but Swedish Match is not super clear on how they vary through the lines. The website also states that the nicotine content in their snus is the content of the tobacco used…so…

Here’s the linky:

The link on that page to the nicotine content of snus doesn’t work for me, did it work for anyone else?

The link doesn't work. The nic values, according to the buysnus website, are different than what you posted. I believe buysnus. You might want to check it out. Screw the dots, they tell you nothing accurate. Its probably just a guide. There are several G3 varieties so I'm not sure which ones you are referring to.

Never paid much attention to nic content via dots or even looked for what was listed for 15 years becasue I assumed everything was around 8 unless listed as strong. Found out the hard way I shouldve paid attention after sucking on some One Vits purchased. Pheeeeew.

Wonder if the guys ever get bored and just say, "Hey, for fun, lets double this nic up in this can, and watch the wire for a WTF e-mail". Nah, J/K. After 15 years, I never had a can that "punched me" like that. Not saying I would really be bothered too much if that did take place, would probably laugh is all.

I was going off Snuscentral. Buy Smos still has Kronan Los at 7.5, I’ll check out Buysnus deeper later today.

I took some time and in a comparison of the listings for Kronan on Buysnus, Snus24, Snuscentral and Snusme, here is what I found, ones that did not agree are noted.

Kronan Stark Original 15mg/g (14.5 Buysnus)
Kronan Stark White 12mg/g (10.5 Buysnus)
Kronan Original 8.5mg/g (8mg/g snus24)
Kronan White 8mg/g (7mg/g buysnus)
Kronan Los 7.5mg/g (8mg/g Snus24)

Premium Parrots I agree that Buysnus probably had the best data, it is weird tho. I really wish the Swedish match link worked. 😕

confusing isn't it. One thing I've also noticed is that a manufacturer can say our product is super strong 24mg/g but if you look at the fine print, the amount of product per bag is down to maybe 2/3 of that in a regular strong bag.

Kronan White 8mg/g (7mg/g buysnus)

I’m thinking about getting a roll of this to try.

I’m thinking about getting a roll of this to try.

I’ve only had the loose. I’ve never had any of the portions, I generally don’t buy portions of something that comes in loose.

I’d love to hear what you think of it if you do get it, I have heard it goes well with V8.
