Any members in / from Sweden

[sandras]

One of my frend is going to visit Sweden in few weeks and I would like to ask do they sell purified Wine & Dine, Gourmet snus in normal shops?

What about the strong and extra strong stuff (General/Odens)? Probably he doesnt have time to look any special shops so I am just trying to find out what brands are available in normal gas stations/ kiosks?

Thanks already in advance.

Almost every "normal" supermarket and gas station sell snus,and you/he can find almost every brand, of course it would be different if he had time to go to a tobaccoshop....he can find purified as well as strong snus in a regular shop. At trainstations and airports he can find a kiosk called "pressbyran" they usually have a great range of different snus...
good luck

Wow, what it would be like to walk in a store and find that. That would be great, though I definately still prefer the prices that we are paying than what I hear they are in sweden.

Thank you, one more question, do you know if there is any difference on prices?

[sagedil]

You do know that prices there are gonna be much more than if you just ordered from Sweden and had t shipped, even with the cost of shipping. Bought there, you must pay Swedish tax as well.

[Starcadia]

Yeah, last summer when I was there I already had a supply - and was actually given more by relatives - so there was no use spending the money on more. But it sure was candy for the eyes to see those fridges full of every kind of snus!

[sagedil]

I would have bought at least 5 cans just because I could. The novelty of it would be way cool. But not stock up. Besides the total irony of having snus shipped to me from Sweden, and then carrying my stash back to Sweden.

[sandras]

Well in fact, I am living in the EU so I need to pay those taxes anyway even if I am ordering. Thats why was interested if the prices vary in there and could get it cheaper.

Found some info that prices would be about 32eur for 10packs and now I am paying 45 with shipment but dont know if the prices have changed or?

[sagedil]

I know Sweden upped their own taxes significantly not long ago, so I just don't know if that will eat up the difference or not. But if you have someone there, it doesn't hurt to at least check.

Just curious, where in the EU are you??

There is some places you can find snus "on sale", often in small tobacco shops, but even in gas station you can get a good price, of course it depends on the brand, but you can buy 10 cans for apx. 30-35 Euro (38-40 US Dollar)

Thanks again!
sagedil - in Netherlands, you can buy a weed in shops here but not the snus thanks to the EU
