Swedish Match

Kardus 2011 announced

Swedish Match have announced Kardus 2011 will be available in November.

The only thing they can tell us so far is that they think this one will be one of the best Kardus Swedish Match has made since the start back in 2005

This year’s Kardus stimulates the senses and delights the palate, with a unique profile that evokes the spirit and joy of Brazil.  Finely selected Brazilian tobaccos, from the southern Rio Grande do Sul state, are craftfully blended and gently aromatized with cachaca, providing a flavor and finish that only this national liquor can give.  With Kardus, Brazilian Carnaval comes alive in Sweden.

If you have never heard of Kardus Snus see my article What is Kardus?  I am so looking forward to trying this snus.  i got into kardus 3 yrs back.  So it is nice that SM continue this christmas tradition.

Sweden Mission 2011 the highlights

Here are the highlights from my recent trip to visit Stockholm and Göteborg to see the Swedish Match Tobacco Factories and the Tobacco and Matchstick Museum in Skansen. There is footage of the World’s Largest Cigar, Old Snus Manufacturing equipment.

Göteborgs Rapé new look for the summer

Swedish Match informed me that during the summer Göteborgs Rapé White Portion get a temporary look, GR´ Summer edition. GR´ White will have this look during June and July.

SM periodically do this to the GR’ I got can of their military can last year. So look out for these new cans.

Snus Mission 2011

So snus fans, what am I doing tomorrow?  I am flying to Sweden to visit the inner sanctum of Swedish Match.   Yes sir.

I will be there for 4 days.  So will be taking an empty case to bring back some Snus supplies as here in the UK snus is very hard to get hold of.

I will be visiting the Swedish Match Head Quarters and their Snus Factories in Göteborg amongst other things.

This was the trip I was meant to go on last year but due to Passport issues I had to cancel last-minute which was a shame as I would have met up with Chad from snubie.com and Dr Snus himself from drsnus.com.  You can find links for their sites in my links page.

This year my mission is to infiltrate the snus central unit as they will be attending.   I will use covert tactics to find out what Julls is really upto

Here is the video of the trip

So what does one need for a covert snus mission. Read more…

For the Ladies New Mini Snus Cans

I just heard Swedish Match have released some mini snus.

I am going to pick up some of these cans in a few days when I am in Stockholm.

Mini snus cans are very popular amongst female snusers.    The Catch Collection come in mini cans so I hope these cans will introduce more women to more traditional snus flavours.

Swedish Match also claim these cans are more eco friendly as they use less plastic and they are more discreet . Read more about it from their recent press release Discreet snus in a tiny can. All snus is for men and women really so these cans will appeal to everyone.
