Skroof?

[Tobakssmak]

I'm new to snus, and until recently when I read that snus rhymes with moose, I was pronouncing it like snuhs.

Anyway, does that mean skruf is pronounced like skroof? or skruhf?

Thoonder? Just kidding.

But what about Grov, like Grove/Grohv, or Grahv?

ps. I'm half Swedish. I'm kicking myself for not discovering snus earlier. The other half is polack, so that probably explains it.

Another welcome. Wouldn't be the first to not pronounce it right. Like all else, just comes with time. :wink:

Thanks everyone.

That's a cool video. I've watched it about 10 times, and I still don't think I'm pronouncing skruf right. That's okay, I prefer general anyway. I mean generahl.

So far my favorites are General ES, Grov black, and an occasional minty Thunder, I like both the frosted and the wintergreen, which reminds me of Kodiak. I never dipped, but I always loved the smell when a friend would open his tin.

Skruv

Those kids in the video are clueless about Skruf. The last letter shoud be pronounced as a v. "Auld" spelling, the place it took its name from is today spelled Skruv.
