Questions about Tillce / Northerner Snus / Snus Bruket

[ABW]

Ok these questions are either for Eric at Tillce or any of you Industry insiders..

I love the now northerner 6mg "snus" but I wish the company would come out with a higher mg "snus".. Also, it would be nice to add a little more flavorful tobacco to them. Not more necessarily, but maybe some with more flavor. I like the fact that they are dry, small and can be stored well. They also seem to be easier on my gums also but back to my question..

Now, I understand that this is really more of a pharm type snus but that's part of the reason I like it. It's not what I use all the time but I think it has it's place and I would love to see the company stay true to the "purified" concept but add more of a nic hit for us ex smokers..

Here are my questions...Do any of you pros know what this company is all about? Do they pay attention to the boards like GN and V2? Are there any new products in the pipeline from them? Are they in this for the long haul or is Eric from Tillce just doing this as he retires from a long successful career in nic replacement science..

Help me out... Chad? PP?

I Snus the citrus and menthol all day. And mix in the other flavors like licorice and lemon as well. No flair ups on the gums etc. Its a little more expensive so for now when I need extra kick I double them up. Would love a strong portion as well!!!

Thank you very much ABW for your thoughts about the purified snus. I had a meeting with the factory for about three weeks ago and told them that we need something stronger and also better prices. they are looking into that right now and will come out with something stronger and much more economical this coming Autumn. It's coming ;-)

Thank you and have a great day,

Frank..

That is just awesome.. I love the dry, "purified snus".. it has it's place and it does not have to be true snus if you know what I mean.. I understand what they are going for and that's why I like it but it does need a bump in Nic so it is wonderful to hear that you guys are working on it. Can't wait!!

PS- Please don't drop quality for price though..

I don't think so.. But what do I know... I just hope it follows the same principles like easy on the gums, breath, teeth, etc.. I love the concept but it just needs a little more flavor and a sterk level of nic... I love all snus but this is my go to "snus" while I am in class, clinical etc.. To me it would be perfect with more flavor and nic..

Yes, it is more of a pharm type product and I like that because it's clean,dry,and has some advantages that reg snus does not (storage, drip, ND TSNA's etc) but most importantly it is still a snus.. If it did not contain tabacco I would not use it. Thats why I think other pharm type products fail. There is something in tabbaco (akaloids/idk)that compliments the nicotine so It kinda blends all the perfect things for me.

But, I always will have a true snus around as well...

The one thing I love about Northerner snus is that it will last forever. If I had to travel through the Sahara this would be the one snus to take with me.

[ABW]

lol.. I hear ya..

Good Morning All,
I promise that the quality will not change on the purified, the only difference is the package. We are thinking about launching a soft package which include 200 portions (a roll) instead of 10 plastic cans. The cans are quite expensive and also the filling work.
What do you think of a soft package which you fold like this one?

It's the same soft package as for pipe tobacco.

GoVegan, I would also choose the purified snus through the Sahara desert, it will definitely stay dry :-)

I like the idea of a soft pack if it helps cut down on the cost of a roll. I would like more flavor choice too. The holiday one from last year sounded delicious as a year round desert snus.


As to the question of a nic-free portion... I have known people to use them in their last step of getting off all nicotine.
