We buy our leaf tobacco from different farmers. Tobacco selection is a very important part of our quality assurance. Therefore, we only buy the very best leaf tobacco available. Our tobacco team are specialists in tobacco for snus and they know how to find the best quality. We mainly use dark air cured or sun cured tobacco. These types are chosen for their pleasant natural aroma. All leaf tobacco is grown specifically for the production of snus. This is very important as the growing and drying methods are optimised in order to achieve the right composition of tobacco.
