Claq Qui to be discontinued!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[bakerbarber]

As far as my portion use goes Claq Qui is in my top 5.

I can understand it being discontinued though. It's unique flavor did make it something I could not use constantly. After a few cans of something different it was a welcome return to come back to!

I ordered a roll of Claq Qui and General Maxi today. I had points with Buysnus, liked both brands, and just cashed my check.

They will take a while to go through for me.


TANGENT timoteo and others have made comments recently that I don't understand. I never experience quality issues freezing snus. i wonder sometimes if the "frost free" mechanism of some freezers and refridgerators is causing these issues for some people? just a wild thing that's nagging me. I do love a fresh can of snus, but honestly can't discern a difference when i have a very old can out of my freezer..END TANGENT

i dont know anything about frost free mechanism, but i dont think mine has one, cause things are all frosted up in my freezer.

maybe claq qui is just a snus ive grown very tired of. idk.

ahha!

I don't know..

lol

You were just the latest person I notice mention it. i finally have had time today to be here and your point is very well delivered.

I agree that there may be consequences to freezing snus. I've had luck so far.

I will not mourn Claq Qui very long.. I was more upset by the loss of n&J West.

SM did roll out one hell of a red carpet initially to then turn around and kill Claq Qui so soon huh!?!

[RRK]

This is really bad news for me. Claq Qui is my favorite of the sterks, N&J Black is a close second so I won't be crying to long. I need to order a roll of Claq very soon and make it last a while.

Better stock up on the N&J black too. Never know but it seems at risk as well.

Also, I think I remember my freezer is frost free and I don't notice any difference in my frozen snus until I have had one open for a long time. Then they start to get dried out but when I open the next one it seems fresh. The frozen snus does seem a little dry to the touch, compared to warm snus but after 10 seconds in my lip its totally the same. I can tell the biggest difference with los. When I open a new can it is noticeably more moist then the end of the last one. I use snus more slowly then most so I would think that negative freezer effects would be more pronounced for me then most.

RRK, I have a roll in the mail, and I'll be ordering at least a couple more in the next few months. I figure I have at least 6 months before they kill it.

"Frost Free" freezers are certainly an issue if you try to keep yeast in the freezer (which i do for brewing) - the temp cycling will kill it quickly. Not quite sure if the same principle applies to snus, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't help.

Long term storage for me is vac packed at 2C.

Hmm. I didn't care much for Claq Qui at all. But it's still a bit surprising. I thought it was quite a bit more popular than it apparently was.

I don´t even know if this was widely sold in Sweden, never saw it around, so might have been a Norway and web-store thing.

Introducing new snuses is hard in Sweden, and many people just buy what is cheaper nowadays except for those old-timers stuck with their General, Grov and Ettan, from the glory days when snus was cheaper then dirt.

[texasmade]

id say this definitely happens in threes.

like celebrities

The day my favorite brands get discontinued is the day Swedish Match goes bankrupt.

[Owens187]

PMI is paying SM to drop all their snus one by one except General Wintergreen.

That is absolutely 100% fine by me!!!! :lol: :!:
