You can see how expensive snus is to order in Europe.

If you choose the option Finland and look the prices. It's about 20-> euros per one can. That's about 50 dollars.

That's because the dollar is turning into a PESO and you live in a Socialist country. I have heard many from Finland take the ferry to Estonia to buy booze also.

Yavor at Quitsnus.com would say 'at those prices it's time to ................. Quitsnus!!'


And I'd agree with him!
Or find the blackmarket snus!!

Or travel to Estonia and take a chance on getting busted.

They do not sell snus in Estonian ferries or boats any more. They sell snus only at Swedens territorial waters. That means that its allowed only when boat is in it. the Black market would be the only way to buy snus.

if you use USD + Finland it's not 50 a can. more like 20-something for portion and 30-something for loose. still too high for my taste!!

[MJ26]

Yeah but it can be get caught by the customs if doing that.

How about the Åland Ferries?

[MJ26]

Im not sure do they sell snus in Åland now. Propably not but I know they're not glad that EU prohibited snus in Ålands ferries couple years ago. They are trying to fight back the snus ban.

Åland is a Finnish island situated between Sweden and the Finnish mainland with extensive political autonomy status. The economical foundation for Åland is shipping and the Baltic Sea trade that takes place on the Åland flagged ferries. Swedish snus stands for a substantial part of the total profit that is generated by sales of goods onboard and a majority of the current 100 000 daily snus users in Finland access snus via the ferries operating between Sweden and Finland

In 2005, Finland was reprimanded by the European Commission due to the fact that the EU ban on snus was not implemented accordingly on Åland. In October 2007, the European Commission referred Finland to the European Court of Justice for a second time for failing to comply with an earlier court ruling on Swedish snus sales and a fine of about 2 million euros and a daily penalty of about 20 000 euros was imposed on Finland. Hence a new Tobacco Directive on Åland came into effect by January 2008 that banned Swedish snus

As a result, several Åland flagged ferries changed to Swedish flag to in order to ensure continuous sales of snus. More ferries will eventually follow.
