The origins of this legendary snus go back to the s when sailors brought tobacco blends to the ports of Sweden, one of which formed the basis for the first product. It was exclusively loose snus, at first.
Göteborgs Rapé Swedish pronunciation: [jœtɛˈbɔrjs raˈpeː] ; transl. Its original recipe was created in Gothenburg during the early 19th century. Its origins are atypical for Swedish snus brands, as the recipe evolved through trial and error among sailors on merchant ships mooring in the port of Gothenburg. Unable to afford high-quality ingredients, these seamen added different spices to their loose smokeless tobacco, hereby creating their personal snus blends. A few of these blends were sold locally under 'brand names'.
