What does Roda Lacket mean?

[Lakemonster]

Wondered if anyone might have a translation.

[Zero]

Röda means "red" and "lack" is that sealing wax stuff that, many moons ago, people used to seal letters with, usually imprinted with an insignia of some sort. So, yeah, Röda Lacket means something like "Red Seal", implying a sealing-wax seal.

Ah, good question because I was wondering that same thing.

Those red seals always remind me of Makers Mark Bourbon...

I'm guessing it means lacquer, varnish, and/or patent leather based on the "shiny-ness" of the label of the tin.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Isn't there also a dip-brand with the name "Red Seal"? I'm no dipper, but I'm quite sure, that I read about such a brand. Seems like dip and snus were historically much more related, than one might think. Of course, nowadays the production-process is very different.

Cheers!

Swedish Match has a flyer talking about Snus and the US market - dip came from transplanted Swedes trying to make it in the US. Red Seal is named after Roda Lacket.

LOL.. Ive had Red Seal....and it is nothing like Roda Lacket.

I didnt know Red Seal was owned By Swedish Match.... Timberwolf and Longhorn, yes.

Red Seal is not a Pinkerton/Swedish Match brand like TWolf and Longhorn. Red Seal is the little brother of Skoal and Cope and is a U.S. Smokeless brand. Red Seal was a low price brand put out by U.S.S. in the mid-90's. What's interesting is there's a brand of American dry powder snuff that is called Red Seal and even sports the same brand colors as the moist brand, red and green. Another interesting thing about the U.S. Smokeless brands Skoal and Copenhagen is that those brands were supposedly created years and years ago by Swedish immigrants here in the U.S. trying to duplicate the authentic snus they enjoyed back in their homeland. The brands were eventually taken over by American tobacco producers, I guess. I heard Skoal means "Cheers" in Sweden. I know the Swedes had a hard time finding or making snus here in the States, so I guess that might be part of the reason Skoal and Copenhagen are what they are today.....Nasty crap. To think.... I used to love that stuff.

Where did you find this out?

If that's true, then the next time a xenophobic, jingoistic dip nut knocks my snus I could enlighten his ass with some history.

It is true - like I said in my previous post, Swedish Match was sending out a flyer in the mail whenever you ordered from swedishsnus.com in which it explained snus and the US market.

No problem...Go to the main Swedish Match website, then look to the right side of the homepage and you should see a small section asking if you want to order snus and you'll see a small pic of a brown package that should help. Click on it. When the swedishsnus.com page comes up, go to the top and click on News. When the news page comes up, go to the right side and click on Snus News-Spring 2007. After that, be pacient and let the next page load and there you are, my friend. Some very interesting information about the old days of snus in America. Snus was so big in Chicago back then that Americans actually nicknamed Chicago Ave. "Snoose Boulevard". The first pic is of a tobacco shop owner in New York and a Swedish Match Rep. holding up a General snus fridge. That should let you know you're there. The best info is when you scroll down. I guess we can tell dippers that all the crappy stuff they use is a snus f*ckup! Stupid dippers....don't know what they're missing. Anyway, if you have trouble with the long ass process of finding this page, just let me know and I'll explain it a little more clear.
