        It looks like a Danish snus brand. Their can designs are very utilitarian.

          That looks like a frappacino. So, basically, it is an effectively marketed disgusting sugar-coffee concoction that will get you punched in the balls if you ever leave the house with one. Congrats on the find.

              Actually Stjärnsnus was Strengberg's snus. ( Finnish factory )
              And if you are intrested in history of Snus, would be great for you to know that Strengbergs snus factory located in Jakobstad ( Pietarsaari, Finland ) was the first Snus factory in to my knowledge. ( 1762 - 1998 )

                I'd suspect there are a few oddball regional snuses that we haven't heard of.

                  looks more like an iced latte to me.

                      I remember Stengberg Grov snus from like 20 years back? Got it as souvenir from Finland few times. Deadly stuff, tastiest snus I've ever had. It came in rectangular black boxes with a red lid, I think I've one somewhere still. I've heard that old tobacco factory in Pedersore or Pietarsaari is a UNESCO protected site now.
                      But that Stjarn snus was a Swedish brand, I remember getting that from Brobergs tobacco shop in Stockholm. Old days there weren't so many brands available at all, so I asked 2 of each they had whenever I went to Stockholm. Copenhagen, Skoal and Gold River were the American dips there. Remember this young sales lady telling me that Stjarn snus was a northern swedish thing, like Karlskrona snus was southern and there were few others as well. It'd be nice to have those old brands back, I think they'd appeal to new generation of snusers as well.

                        Sterngbergs? Maybe more than one company used that name?

                        See the STA logo, that's the company that became Swedish Match

                          Those orange tins are familiar to me. Good stuff; fine ground flavoured snus. Stjarn snus was discontinued in 1998 with several other Swedish regional brands. Rallarsnus was great as far I can remember.
                          Time to get them back! And Finnish snus as well!

                            Since we're talking about mysterious snus brands, has anyone heard of this brand?
