Kungstobak snus store in Stockholm, my trip to Stockholm
Hi guys,
I am back from Stockholm. Guess what? There is very little space in our fridge left for food as a result now.
As I said I would, I went to that little tobacco/snus store in downtown Stockholm: KUNGSTOBAK at 68 Kungsgatan street. The store is a walking distance away from the railways station and the old town. Bus stop for eastbound ferries is located in front of the store which is convenient.
The store has 2 refrigerators, one for rolls and one for single cans. I was rather surprised to find both fridges in the corner of a tiny corridor behind the counter. It is therefore impossible to make out what brands they have. It was only after the staff realized they are about to make a very good deal that they let me behind the counter to see the fridges.
I never saw such a vast collection of Thunder and Offroad cans before! At Kungstobak they seem to have every imaginable Thunder and Offroad snus. However that was not what I was looking for...
Unfortunately the store had run out of most original portions which made me hesitate and think if i really wanted to have all of my portion snus as whites or should I perhaps get everything as loose instead. I did settle for whites in the end.
They were also out of Supportersnus and Gringo which was a pity as these had been ordered by friends and I hoped I would try both brands myself. They were down to 4 cans of Odens Extreme portions and from Jacobsson’s none was in stock. I was told more snus was coming in later in the day but my time was running out and I had no choice better than to buy what was available.
I bought:
3 rolls of Skruf Stark Loose
2 rolls of Granit loose
1 roll of Ettan loose
1 roll of Grov loose
1 roll of Skruf Cranberry White Portions
1 roll of Kaliber white portions
1 roll of Skruf Stark portions
I would describe Kungstobak as being inexpensive, it is definately less expensive than snus2.se but not as cheap as tea-livs.se in Malmo.
Prices I paid:
Skruf stark loose: 450 SEK
Ettan/Grov loose 437 SEK
Granit Loose 347 SEK
Kaliber 195 SEK
Skruf portions 360 SEK
which is reasonable.
All snus that I got has good Best Before dates ending December 2012 – January 2013.
It must be noted that the shop is immigrant run and the staff speaks hardly any English, I had to use all my Swedish language skills and was surprised myself at how well I can still speak the lingo.
While literally digging deep in the snus fridge I could hear the shopkeeper conversing with clients. Most people were asking for inexpensive brands like Knox or Kaliber and most were buying rolls.
I am a happy snuser for a while now!
