Lucky Strike White Portion

[kaluka]

I really like this snus but I'm wondering why it works out more expensive than original or bold portions by lucky? The white portion is more expensive and a smaller portion, why the difference?

For example:

Lucky OP:
Net Weight: 24 G (0.9 Oz) Portion / Can: 24 £1,86 GBP per can

Lucky Bold:
Net Weight: 24 G (0.9 Oz) Portion / Can: 24 £1,86 GBP per can

and yet Lucky White:
Net Weight: 19,2 G (0.67 Oz) Portion / Can: 24 £2,37 GBP per can

I don't mind paying the difference and it's not that much really, I'm just confused as to why it costs more? This doesn't seem to be the case with other white portions either, just Lucky Strike. Anyone care to shed any light on this?

Sorry, I am in the US and not allowed to comment on this. :wink:

The amount of tobacco in Lucky Strike White is identical; the moisture content is lower than the Original portions, thus making them weigh less.

I'm guessing the expense is because they can. The manufacturing process is virtually identical to original portions, and is actually a touch easier. Maybe more people like whites, so it's a supply/demand thing.

Huh, dunno mate, its all the same price for me where I buy em.

Maybe it's just Northerner then. I did think about the moisture content but other white portion snus' were still listed as 24g so I thought that probably wasn't the case. Oh well, thanks anyway
