Göteborgs Prima Fint

Step into the world of snus with Göteborgs Prima Fint – a true classic that has been enjoyed by tobacco enthusiasts for over a century. This premium snus is only available in loose format, making it easy to mold into a perfect pinch. Whether you're a seasoned snus lover or a beginner, Göteborgs Prima Fint is the ideal product for you.

The tobacco used in this classic snus is finely ground and boasts a slightly sweet but neutral flavor that is sure to satisfy your cravings. But the story of Göteborgs Prima Fint goes beyond just its delicious taste. It all started with Eric Mellgren, a small trader from Göteborg who started his own tobacco factory in 1826.

Despite starting as a tiny operation with only one employee, the factory grew steadily over the years. By 1902, the company had over 100 employees and manufactured a combined 225 tons of tobacco, including 150 tons of snus. However, the Swedish government monopolized all snus trade in 1915, putting an end to Eric Mellgren's 89-year old tobacco business.

But out of the ashes of this unfortunate event came something great – in 1919, the monopoly registered one of Mellgren's sweet and mild recipes as a brand, which we now know as Göteborgs Prima Fint.

Step back in time with Göteborgs Prima Fint, a snus brand that has remained true to its roots since its inception in 1919. Unlike other snus brands that have changed their recipes over the years, Göteborgs Prima Fint has kept its original recipe intact, making it a favorite among traditional snus enthusiasts.

The name itself, which roughly translates to "Göteborgs Prime Finely-Ground," speaks to the snus's unique texture. Made only as loose tobacco, the fine grinding makes it easy to grab a pinch of Prima Fint, just like tobacco lovers did in the 19th century.

But it's not just the texture that sets Göteborgs Prima Fint apart. The tobacco is unseasoned and unflavored, allowing the natural aromas of the tobacco to shine through. Upon placing a pinch in the lip or cheek, the taste of dark tobacco quickly fills the mouth, with subtle hints of smoke and dried fruits balancing the well-rounded flavor.

While many modern snus brands try to appeal to young people with flashy designs and innovative flavors, Göteborgs Prima Fint is a brand for true tobacco lovers. The blue and gold can pays homage to the city of Göteborg, where the brand originated, and the snus itself appeals to those who enjoy tobacco flavors without any gimmicks. So if you're looking for a snus brand that has stood the test of time, look no further than Göteborgs Prima Fint.
