It&#8217;s great fun.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The box turned out to be half-filled with unused snus (although after more than 300 years, it was probably past its best).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrik Str\u00f6mer at the Association of Swedish Snus Manufacturers praised the find as an exciting and previously unknown chapter in the <a href=\"https:\/\/snusforumet.se\/en\/the-history-of-snus\">history of snus in Sweden<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don&#8217;t know if this is the old-fashioned snuff, or if this is might be the oldest known find of Swedish snus, which is moistened and manufactured with salt and soda. But that a centuries-old Swedish tradition now turns out to be even older is fantastic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The owner of the box is believed to be Pehr Gustaf Wadstr\u00f6m, an industrialist who at the time owned the shipyard on Skeppsholmen in Norrk\u00f6ping.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small box of snus from the 18th century has been found during an excavation in the town of Norrk\u00f6ping in Sweden, the country\u2019s National&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[218],"tags":[374,373,248,293],"class_list":["post-5225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-regulations","tag-history","tag-norrkoping-2","tag-patrik-stromer-en","tag-snus"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
