Guys - PLEASE don't discontinue Claq Qui

[TheOneandOnly]

Don't kill the Claq!

[fireball176]

Claq Qui has been on Northerner's top snus section for at least a year and a half, since I started snus.

I agree with everyone above, for the love of all that is holy, don't deprive me of Claq Qui!

It was discontinued due to poor performance in Norway was the response I received.

That is just stupid. Obviously there is lots of love here, why do we have to suffer?!

snus usage in eurolandia is far greater than snus use in the US..

When PP wanted Offroad Coffee Vanilla back and we started that thread, it happened. Why? Because V2 is a small company, and things like this are easy for them to do, they can respond easier to customer demand.

Swedish Match is a HUGE company. I won't take a guess at number of employees but I'd imagine it's alot. They have departments for everything they do. I'd compare getting a product back or a new product with them to be alot like passing a bill, and how many steps go into it.

V2 is a relatively small company. We can go straight to Patrick or Mark and ask and if we get enough people, odds are we'll see it happen. For example, Offroad C/V took about 2 months from the start of that thread for it to happen.

But with Swedish Match, they're such a huge company that I'd wager to say when their mind is made up about something they've decided is not in the best interest for them financially, I'd assume it's a done deal.

Not saying this because I'm not a Claq Qui fan, but I'm just looking at it realistically.

By movement I meant more snus use in the US.

I completely understand how it would be hard for SM to just up and give us every little thing we wanted.

I am sad to see CQ go, I only got one can, but fully enjoyed it.

my 2 cents...

swedish match seems bent on trying to force feed americans the general brands. i am talking about what one can buy locally. they also seem to be trying to keep their Snus's image kind of high class. some of the brands they have quit making would be a big hit in local stores where the common person goes. when they quit making N&J loose it blew my mind because i could see it compeating with cope big time. i understand low sales, etc but how much Snus would you sell if you had it in convince stores? but dont try it with general unless you like to cry. while i am whining.... the other day i drove a hour to buy Snus at a cigar store. they had a nice fridge full of Snus but it was hid behind the counter and was hardly visible. i asked how it was selling. they said what they sold me was almost all they had sold in the two weeks they had been selling it. i wonder why? oh they did have a big general pos poster... on the inside of the bathroom door in the back room. so keep in mind these are the people who discontinued n&j and other great brands. why? duuuh

11,128 as of Sept. 30, 2009 according to my Bloomberg terminal.

So the total number of SM employees is greater than the number of snus users in the US? There's your problem.

Just kidding--kind of.

Hi,

Unfortunatly Claq Qui didn't meet our expectations in terms of sales volume. We regret this as well as we also liked the product but as it didn't sell to the extent that our products needs to do there is little we can do to influence this decision.
