Why does Swedish snus taste better than other smokeless tobaccos and why do the different Swedish snus brands taste so different?
There is more to Swedish snus than just pasteurized tobacco. Some of the different snus recipes go back hundreds of years. Swedish snus consists of tobacco ground to a fine powder, salt, different flavorings, humectins, and water. Swedish snus must be refrigerated until used and has an expiration date printed on the bottom. Remember, it’s a regulated food product in Sweden. QUESTION: I looked at the expiration date on a can of snus in the store and it had expired 6 months ago. ANSWER: This is a very common and logical question. Remember that in Europe, the date is represented as DD/MM/YYYY while in America we use MM/DD/YYYY. The Swedish use a few other variations as well. Here are a few examples of how the expiration dates can be written: 16 09 2007 = 16th of September 2007 20071227 = 27th of December 2007 040208= 4th of February 2008 070108 = 7th of January 2008 I haven’t tried this yet but I’ve read that if you freeze snus, you can defrost it months and months after the expiration da
