Snus history (I)

The snus is a unique tobacco product from Sweden. It is impossible to find elsewhere.

The origin of the snus comes from the beginnings of the 1800s.

Chewing tobacco was very used by workers and farmers in this period since it allowed them to work with free hand for work.

But the Swedish tobacco didn’t have a good quality for chewing since it crumbles when spunning.

So they decide to grind it into a powder and mix it with water for handling and salt for keeping.

flavourings where also used for taste.

This idea is the same nowadays, although the production process are different.
