Snus in Bergen

[Craig de Tering]

55 NOK a can. So plenty of snus, but as you guys said, not exactly cheap.

Damn, that's the same price for a pouch of hand-rolling tobacco (also 50 grams here in NL). I guess in that case no matter how you view it, ordering via internet is cheaper for most of us.

Hmm, well at Oslo airport I remember they have a good selection, but it turned out that in the duty free area at Bergen airport, the only kind of snus they has was general, which unfortunately I'm not all that keen on (allergic to citrus fruit). 135 NOK for a 5 can roll isn't bad if you do like General though.

There were 7-11s dotted around all over the place in the city where a variety of brands were around 55 NOK a can. So plenty of snus, but as you guys said, not exactly cheap.

On the bright side, Bergen is a fantastically beautiful city, if you ever get the chance to go, I'd recommend it.

yeah, getting it in duty free would be the way to go - that may even be cheaper than getting it online, perhaps as cheap as snus was before the tax hike.

If you go to a normal shop it is around 50 NOK as Zero has said. It is definitely cheaper in duty free. Last time I was there I brought back 20 tins (which I think is the limit in the EU) and it was much cheaper then £100! You'll probably pay a similar price to what you pay online but without the shipping

[Dave***t]

Ah. Well I was expecting expensive, but that's a bit much. With any luck they'll have the same arrangement at the airport as they had in Oslo when I was there in April - a duty free shop in the baggage collection area.

Hopefully, anyway!

From what I recall, snus in Norway, like most things in Norway, is savagely expensive... I've seen numbers like 50 Kr for a tin of los, which is like £4.25 :?

I'm going to Bergen in Norway tomorrow, and I was just wondering about snus there - prices, how available it is etc. Anyone know?
