    Manufacturing good snus

    Hi guys! I really like the snus and sometimes ideas about modernizing snus - doesn't let me sleep.
    So, the question is - does anybody knows some private manufacturers or someone, who is ready to take apprentice for couple weeks? I mean someone to show and explain me at least basical things
    Im seriously ready to come to Sweden and learn that process and work for free or even pay.
    P.s Yeah i know there is a lot of videos on YouTube, but i know there is using some chemistry stuff to manufacture and i feel little scary to add lots of some ingredients and make my friends feel sick.

    Hit up Mårten Gustafsson (https://www.instagram.com/odlasnus on Instagram), I've had his snus before and he seems to produce for personal use in bulk. His stuff is really good.

    Also, Eskil Thomsen is someone you may want to reach out to. He produces Österlensnus (from his own farm), which he sells locally in Sweden. It's a fantastic product. This is their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Osterlensnus/

    I would suggest hitting up either of those guys if you have questions or want to learn more.

    squeezyjohn also makes fantastic snus, I think that's his s/n here on SnusOn. You may want to reach out to him.

    You're more likely to be able to learn from someone who produces locally than from a manufacturer. Manufacturers have methods that they try to keep private, so they probably won't invite you in and teach you how they make their snus.

        Unfortunately not yet. I've given him contact information for various webstores and he said he would look into it, so hopefully in the future we'll be able to. I mentioned Northerner carrying Pioneer Snuff a while back, so I told him it isn't unheard of for stores to carry these smaller batch type products.

          That would be great. I remember Landstroms and Gellivare. They were small batch and fantastic

            This scene is only going to get bigger. Currently in Sweden the "craft snus" scene is a lot like the early days of microbrewing/home brewing but is growing to where it may eventually be like the craft beer scene we are seeing today. People not going into a bar and asking for Bud Light, but asking "what's local?" I imagine we are going to see a lot of craft/small batch snus popping up over the next several years.

              It would be great to have a Swedish broker that could get some of the small batch to us.
