Coolest snus can?

[JaKe]

What brand of snus do you think has the coolest can/label design? I like skruf's simplistic design.

PM1847 went to hell. That was my previous favorite. Skruf is nice, and I think it's the most Scandinavian of the tin designs.

I still pick Gotland for function. For form, hmm... Montecristo lös is a good tin... I think I'm gonna go with that for form. I like metal tins, and the label is attractive.

the pm 1847 metal can tobocca and the lucky strike cans are awesome

can

My favorite cans when I was in the business were Gallaher's "StrongCut" range of Bergamot/citrus and Gin variants (made with real gin).

The new Gustavus can is the basic concept, but StrongCut had a badass logo and look to it that said "I may be too strong for YOU." Maybe that's why no one bought it!

I second the Gustavus

But the coolest may very well be the Onyx

The most functional by far is Gotlands los

I forgot about Gustavus. That is a sharp looking tin. I think I'll change my form vote to that. It has an understated elegence.

I really don't care for the Onyx tin. Something bugs me about it, but I'm not sure what....

cans

Onyx always looked like a hockey puck to me: Too high and chunky. And once I saw the arrangement inside, it kinda gave me the willies afterwards.

Not a professional opinion, for sure, but it sort of appeals to the highly visible and infamous 'feminine' side of Swedish men, and I am not Swedish. A huge black tin with a silver top, and an flower arrangement inside is like going to see Metallica in a cool dark club and getting the Pet Shop Boys instead.

I can honestly say I would never have looked at it in that way :O)

The PM 1847 cans were very cool. I dig the Taboca cans a lot. The LD Mini can really appeals to me (I ordered a can just because of that, and liked it enough to order one more can). Any of the LD cans look good; I like the hinged portion keeper lids. Gotlands are indeed "functional", and that is cool in its own way. The Gustavus cans are neat.

On the flip side, cans like Granit kind of annoy me because they are not stack-friendly with cans which are not flat-bottomed.

Damn that's it for me! I'm off to baking class and then to pick out new fabric for the couch!

See, just one $@&%!* tin of portions and look what's happened to me.

For that I retract my last vote and choose Grov los........while crushing a beer can on my head.

Didn't care much for the snus but the N&J East and West cans as well as the Ooomph cans because they are not round! Nobody thinks I have a can of dip in my pocket while carrying these around. The round tins get concealed in my purse.

the can

It goes to show that the can is the ultimate selling tool.

When I ran Gallaher in Sweden (2005-6), SM was taking us to court because the Gustavus range (regular, 1st Quality, Grovt and Whiskey) were color-coded and designed to resemble the Swedish Match equivalents (General, Ettan, Grov and Probe).

The similar designs were not doing anything for Gustavus as a brand, so we canceled everything but the regular, and put it into a glossy navy blue can with upgraded graphics. SM still hated it, but they stopped complaining.

And the other variants? Gustavus Grovt became LD. New can, new price, new life.

I was partial to the Nick and Johnny East "coffin" shaped cans myself.

I like the Roda Lackett Los tin.....a pure and minimalist look, and it's got that retro cardboard thing going for it to...
