Well, Swedish snus originates from the 18th century and consists of four main ingredients: tobacco, water, salt, and a humectant substance. Snus is a smokeless tobacco product. Different flavors are added to these four ingredients, which provide each and every brand with its special character! At our store, you’ll find snus with all kinds of flavors – whisky, raspberry, mint... you name it! Swedish snus (smokeless tobacco) is unique thanks to the special methods used when manufacturing the high-quality tobacco. Swedish manufacturers utilize heat treatment that neutralizes microorganisms and ensures fresh snus. Snus is produced under the same law as other foods – as provided by the Swedish Food Legislation (Livsmedelslagstiftningen) – which ensures production in sanitary environments and with approved additives.
The most common way to use snus is to place it under your upper lip and leave it there for as long as you like – from a couple of minutes up to several hours (when you first start using snus, you might want to leave it in for a shorter amount of time). Snus, or snuff as it is sometimes referred to, comes in two forms: portion snus and loose snus. Portion snus comes in pre-made pouches of various sizes, while you form portions of the loose snus yourself. Snus not only comes in different flavors, but also in different strengths and sizes.
Loose snus for dummies!
Loose snus is – as one might guess by its name – a moist powder. Unlike portion snus, which comes in pre-made pouches, loose snus has to be shaped into portions by the snuser himself; and this is how you make your own portions:
Forming your own pris will take some practice, but in return it allows you to decide on the shape, size, and density yourself. Loose snus often has a more powerful scent and taste than portion-packed snus.

Loose snus is great, but it is indeed wonderful to just open up a can of portion snus and get started at once. At BuySnus, you’ll find portion snus in all kinds of flavors and sizes. Portion snus comes in three different types: original, white, and black. White and black portions are drier than original portions; the moisture allows for a quick release of flavor but, in turn, can make the portions a bit drippy. Our store has many white and original portions to offer, while General ONYX Portion is the only black portion snus we are able to offer at the moment.
