Nick and Johnny

[Zero]

Yes my tins both say "STARK" - with an 'A'. As you say, they've been in Norway for a while so the Norwegian tins may have been about first and now with the introduction to Sweden they're printing Swedish labelled tins. :?:

This Nick & Johnny is a swedish match brand? Swedish match seems to have it down when it comes to snus.

[Craig de Tering]

I don't know the exact numbers (at all) buy my guess is that Swedish Match has the snus market all but cornered. They have about 90~95% of the market in Sweden (natte vinger werk = wild guess).
I just can't remember where I got the figure from...

Maybe Starwing knows more as he's the snus-related-URL-sponge around here it seems.

Do you think swedish match have that high of a market share? I mean, just considering Gallaher, Skruf, and Fiedler & Lundgren - plus a few other smaller players, they certainly have competition. I wouldn't doubt that swedish match are the dominant player, likely even the majority, but as high as 90%?

[gopherbob]

In that fancy booklet that came with my snus loose swedish match pack it said General was 40% of the market in sweden. I'm not sure if that number reflects other countries though.

[Zero]

Yeah, that's also true...between General, Ettan, and possibly Roda, that's a load of the market right there.

[Zero]

Well I'll be damned :

"Swedish Match's market share amounted to 95 percent according to the latest Nielsen estimates."

[Craig de Tering]

Heh, i guess THAT'S where I got it from :lol:

In that fancy booklet that came with my snus loose swedish match pack it said General was 40% of the market in sweden.

And that's just one brand.

Cartoon nick and johnny. If I was a kid I might try it.

[blizzardbeast]

Well regardless of who makes it, it is pretty darn good. Zero's original description hit pretty well.

[gopherbob]

Just ordered two cans of it.

[Coffey]

Hello all. I am new here and this is my first post. I have only been using snus for about 2 weeks, Nick and Johnny was the first snus I ever tried. I got the "mix" from buysnus and got it free as a gift. I am kind of disappointed that I decided to use this can first because so far nothing else I have tried compares to it. I loved the taste and hit it gave. It sounds like Skruf stark is similar. Might have to give it a try.

[gopherbob]

Welcome coffey, so far Skruf Stark is my favorite snus. I have two cans of nick and johnny coming my way.

Do you prefer portion or loose?

[Coffey]

Well so far I have only had portion. But I am going to put in an order for some loose. Prolly some Nick and Johnny and Skruf to compare and contrast the two.
