Can Designs

Damn, the main thing I've learned from these comments is that I've missed out on a lot of bygone snus! That blood spattered Claq Qui can is AWESOME. Too bad I'll never taste one. Also, all you guys are reinforcing my paranoia about my favorite snusses being discontinued! Oh well...

Claq qui was the greatest snus ever made! I miss it everyday but have 3 tins in the freezer, once it's gone, it's gone

Some more...


Gellivare & Landstroms - the tins came open a lot (due to how much damn tobacco they packed into them), but the can designs were cool.


Catch Pure Mint


General Smooth


Phillip Morris 1847 (Old Design) - horrible tasting snus, but cool can.

Some of my favorites - I have images (HD for most of them) of old cans starting 2009 to current, you just have to dig through my review listing page to find them all.

Some of my favorites.

Gustavus - Circa 2010 - before it went to the new design


The old Gotlandssnus Tins - before they all went to Jakobsson's Brand


Montecristo/Romeo Y Julieta - Before they became Byron


Lucky Strike Strong Los - had a cool embossed top.

Yes...the can is perfect...but the stigma! These still made?

You can buy quantities of empties on ebay........

Made and sold. They got at least 70% of the snus sales in America.

An embarrassing fact......

Islay cans are awesome. The old Montecristo cans were cool as well.

Go ahead and laugh, but this is the best can on the market. The rubber seal keeps the snus moist and fresh much longer than any other retail can. The shape fits my pocket. It's so comfortable I don't even know it's there. With careful packing it will hold 27 General White portions without squishing. When I leave the house this can is in my pocket.

Take a look at these hi-res photos courtesy of our friend Chad. Notice the white rubber seal. It works!

Lucky Strike and Swedish camel, the catch lid on Swedish camel, LD etc is perfect and the hinged style GN's should have so there isn't a gap for the snus to dry out.

Lucky's and Islay....

I think the classiest looking can is Islay Whisky Snus.

Raised design, rubberized feel, looks like a wood cask, and has the batch sticker on it. I'm always proud to take that one out.

I agree that the Thunder cans are pretty embarrassing and tacky. I mostly use Göteborgs Rapé white and Grov. I love the simplicity and shiny blue foilesque look of the Göteborgs cans.

Phillip Morris 1847. Those things were awesome looking. Metal tin with raised graphics.

Current production, I like the can Oden's Cold comes in, although the stickers aren't straight most of the time. I mostly like the catch lid that's attached to the can so it can't fall off; plus it's also a larger than usual space for used portions.

I like the imported General cans.....nice script, I like plain, new Onyx tins are nice...... the bright Lucky Strike tins are interesting, in your face, but I like them too.
