Swedish Snus has a long history – dating back to 1637 when Snus was first mentioned in Sweden in a customs document from Finland. The basic recipe of traditional Swedish Snus is a perfect blend of ground tobacco, water and salt. New taste experiences and formats continuously complement the product range to add excitement and satisfy the customers’ changing demands.
Snus packed into pouches of various sizes. Today, more consumers use portion Snus than loose snus. For many users, the advantage of portion Snus is that it is easy to insert and easy to remove. It also prevents users from getting Snus on their fingers. Large Portion is equivalent to the average size of a portion of loose Snus, and contains approximately 1g.
Slim Portion is a Snus in long narrow pouches that are easier to put under the lip. The slim format provides a more discrete mouth-feel as it is less visible behind the lip.
For many users, the advantage of portion Snus is that it is easy to insert and easy to remove. It also prevents users from getting snus on their fingers. The mini format has been available on the Swedish market since 1984. It is approximately half the size of a large potion, making it less visible under a user's lip.
Loose Snus is the original Swedish Snus, and its format has not changed since its introduction 200 years ago. Loose Snus can be coarse-grained, medium coarse-grained or fine-grained. It is somewhat easier to make portion using fine-grained Snus than coarse-grained Snus.
For all those who would like to quit or reduce their nicotine consumption, there are some Snus products available, which neither contain tobacco, nor nicotine.
Chewing tobacco is used in the same way as snus - users place the tobacco under their lip. To increase flavour, users chew the tobacco a few times and then place it back under their lip.
