Snus

Where to Buy Snus Near Me

Snus might be sold at every twist and turn in Sweden, but you’re probably not reading this from Sweden.

In some places in the US, snus may be available at gas stations and convenience stores, but it’s not as widely available as nicotine pouches — and for many, that just doesn’t cut it.

Plus, General snus is one of the very few Swedish snus brands that are stocked within the US.

For a better selection, buying online is the best bet. Snus US has a comprehensive selection of snus products that includes the best of both Swedish and American snus brands.

Why Buy Snus Online?

For some, buying snus online is the only way to buy snus. But even if this isn’t the case, there are plenty of valid reasons to shop online.

These include:

• Access to the best snus prices. Snus US frequently runs promotions and special offers, so be sure to stay tuned.
• Opportunity to read others’ opinions. Find out what other seasoned snus-ers think of our products through reviews and ratings.
• Less effort. It’s easier to spend five minutes browsing a website than to leave the house and go on a dedicated journey to buy snus. Need we say more?
• Easy to buy in bulk. We have a huge warehouse and endless supply, while most small shops only store a limited number of each product. This makes it easier to stock up.

Best Swedish Snus 

Snus isn’t a competition. But if it was, there’s no doubt that a few people would nominate General snus as their winner. Made using Swedish traditions, the brand and its formulation go back to 1866.

But it has also kept up with modern times. It now has production across the world, including the US, and has introduced new flavors and formats to its range.

Best Snus from the USA

American snus might be newer than the Swedish variety, but it has an army of loyal followers thanks to the impressive offering.

Some of the best American snus producers include:

• Copenhagen. Made by the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (USSTC). Its headquarters are in Virginia, and it has factories throughout the country, from Illinois to Tennessee. 
• Skoal. Produced by the same company and using the same factories as Copenhagen, it’s no surprise that Skoal snus is also highly popular.
• Camel. Owned by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Camel snus was originally manufactured in Sweden (although it has always had a US market). However, production has since moved to the US, and its factory is now based in North Carolina.

Leading Snus Flavors

Tobacco might be what makes tobacco products great. But they’d really suck if they didn't also have tasty flavors. Below, we’ve highlighted the most popular taste profiles in the snus world.

Classic

A classic snus taste profile is centered on tobacco, with additions of extra herbs, spices, and flavorings to take things to the next level.

General Snus Original is about as classic as snus taste profiles come thanks to its iconic blend of 22 premium tobaccos. Yet it’s also more than just tobacco, offering hints of bergamot, hay, tea, and leather.

Camel also offers two classic tobacco flavors, Robust and Mellow. As the names suggest, Robust is the higher-strength option.

Wintergreen

Wintergreen is something of a modern classic in the snus world thanks to its refreshing, sometimes sweet flavor.

This can be found in the likes of Camel Snus Winterchill, which has a cool, smooth taste. General also has a wintergreen product, proving that even the industry veterans are embracing this flavor.

Spearmint

Spearmint is known for providing a subtle mint flavor that is refreshing without being overpowering.

Skoal Smooth Mint Snus is the perfect example, offering a low strength level and sweet flavor that pushes tobacco into the background.

Copenhagen Green Mint Pouches and Camel Snus Frost are alternative spearmint options.

Peppermint

Peppermint is spearmint’s fiery sister, with a more intense flavor. It often leaves a “burn” in the mouth.

Copenhagen Blue Mint Pouches provide a regular strength level to accompany peppermint’s sharpness. Skoal Mint Snus and Camel Snus Mint are other options.

What is the Strongest Snus?

General is one of the stronger snus products on the market. Most of its products contain 8 mg/g of nicotine, while General Original is slightly stronger, with 8.5 mg/g.

Note that many brands do not publish the strength of their snus.

Types of Snus

Not every product with “snus” in its name looks the same, which can be a source of confusion. Luckily, we’ve broken it all down below.

Swedish Snus Formats

The very first format of snus to come onto the market was loose snus. In this case, users create their own portions and place it directly under the upper lip.

Since this can be a messy task, snus brands later released portion snus. The first iteration was original portions, which have a brown color due to the tobacco stains. 

Since original portions can also be somewhat messy and cause teeth stains, the next format to arrive was white portion snus. These white pouches are drier, making them less messy and virtually stain-free. They are now the most popular option.

American Snus Formats

Most American snus portions are fairly dry. For instance, Skoal and Copenhagen both offer spit-free pouches to provide a convenient experience.

The portions also tend to be smaller.
