Maybe Rick could make it down there and see what the deal is.

Whats with the 20 portions? Why can't we beat the Swedes at this game and offer 30 portions for the same price?

i would still like to get a hold of some of that

Was anybody here ever able to actually try it?

It's not for sale yet, and from what I've heard it's not even being test marketed yet.

You might be able to get a can if you write to them and let them know you want to review it for your website.

You weren't a business major were you? :^P

That's not how we do it in America. What you do is make the tin larger in circumference, shorter, and put 15 portions in the tin. That way it LOOKS bigger, but you're really getting less for your money :^D

That would explain Marlboro with their 5 portions!

I'll try that and see if I can.

20 portions, 20 cigarettes (they do make cigarettes after all)

Marlboro is also clearly marketing its "snus" as something for cigarette smokers to use only when they can't smoke cigarettes, not instead of smoking cigarettes. Hence their promotion of their packaging as a convenient size and shape to "ride along" with your smokes.

The Smokeless section of the website still shows as "Coming Soon".

Has anybody been able to learn anything about their process? I wonder if this is like Swedish Snus or just some more like Marlboro and Camel.

[snusgetter]

They seem to have been keeping it under wraps since 'bout 2002...

A secret Camel Dung recipe, maybe??
All-natural, of course!!

Well I have smoked some of their little cigars and they aren't that bad its just I get this feeling that most of the tobacco in the cigar is made from reconstituted tobacco paper. It kinda freaks me out to think that we could find the same in a snus made by this company. When you think about how the FDA will eventually come into the tobacco market and demand safer products one would think the tobacco companies over here that make smokeless would look to the methods used to make snus in Sweden.

They probably don't want to buy all new equipment.
