expanding Swedish Match in U.S.

Here in northeast PA, Turkey Hill is now carrying real General snus (wintergreen and mint, and white I believe), in the round cans now to go along with the nordic mint and classic blend in the coffin cans. Plus they have $2.50 off coupons that make a can only 99 cents.

yay another PA snuser. I havent seen $2.50 off coupons( i want some). I've only seen the dollar off ones but still a good deal when buying locally.

From what I've heard from the SM North America guys.......they've discontinued the Ettan test, at least this is what they told me back in June of this year. They are however, looking at bringing other SM brands to the US market sometime next year. What brands they are looking at is anyone's guess but I tossed out General ES and GR loose. :-)

In an ideal situation, any snus your heart desires would be available at your local corner store at a reasonable price (for me that would be $6 or under). If I could get General Wintergreen and Mint, Nick and Johnny Radical Red, and Thunder Cool Orange within walking distance of my home, I'd be stoked!

Well, that sucks. I'd figured Ettan would be a runaway success, and the most obvious choice rather than General.

I remember at the last blogger meeting in Washington, DC they asked us what we thought should be added to US distribution and I think between the group of us that was there we gave them an entire page of brands we'd like to see added in the US, which pretty much covered the entire product line. I don't know if they took my "N&J Los" suggestion seriously or not, we'll see.

I wish there was more Canadian market penetration -- there's only one place selling General for $10/can in my area and it's a 40-minute drive. Damn this nanny country and its love of tobacco taxes.
Im better off planning a roadtrip to the US and pillaging a Buffalo tobacconist's General fridge.

You'll see more soon. Just keep your head up.
